A strong response and without hesitation. Thus the Recognized Hunting Associations (Federcaccia, Enalcaccia, AnuuMigratoristi, Arcicaccia, National Free Hunting Association, Italcaccia, Game Producers) and the National Hunting and Nature Committee (CNCN), gathered in Unitary control room of the hunting world, have reacted to the attacks from the animal rights and protectionist world against the regulated and sustainable hunting exercised in Italy. To the well packaged, but legally unfounded and scientifically incorrect, partial or outdated arguments transmitted by Enpa, Lac, Lav, Lipu and Wwf the Regions and national institutions competent in the matter to ask - under penalty of the usual threat of administrative appeals - for severe restrictions on the hunting calendars for the next season, was answered firmly and unambiguously.
A counter-request prepared by the control room was promptly delivered to the same institutional recipients, inviting correct compliance with the rules on hunting and disregarding the indications contained in the animal rights document, while offering to each individual Region and to theISPRA its full willingness to provide the most recent and reliable data, studies and publications, referring to specific territorial realities, necessary for the correct preparation of hunting calendars 2019/2010. In the counter-instance, the pseudo-arguments described in the letter of the animal rights and protectionist associations are demolished point by point, from the situation of the species to the wildlife-hunting plans, from the community obligations to the legal contents of the Italian laws.
So long as, after 27 years, the Presidency of the Council of Ministers and the Ministry of the Environment have not yet done so, in due fulfillment of the provisions of article 7 paragraph 2 of reads 157 of the 1992 which regulates the protection and management of fauna and consequently the hunting exercise, to establish the decentralized Technical Consultative Operating Units of ISPRA appointed to provide the Regions with the support for the preparation of regional plans, the Control Room proceeded to warn the President of the Council of Ministers and the Minister of the Environment and Protection of the Territory and the Sea to finally proceed with their creation no later than 60 days from the notification of this deed. If the governing bodies fail to do what is requested, the Associations gathered in the hunting control room will therefore proceed, without any further delay, to undertake every most appropriate initiative for the application of the law to protect and guarantee their own rights and those of their members.
