Organized by the Municipal Section Federcaccia di Cotronei (province of Crotone), and personally by the president Vincenzo Barbatano, on Friday 16 November the first meeting with primary school children by Cotronei; central topic: protection of the territory and fauna. The scene of this beautiful day is the Solidarity Square of Cotronei. Here we talked about how, with a few daily gestures, nature can and must be preserved, illustrating the good habits to always keep in mind; such as, for example, not to leave waste in the environment, but throw it in the appropriate bins; do not throw used oil in sinks, but collect it in bottles and take it to collection centers, and many other measures that help protect the ecosystem and maintain a habitat favorable to the life of various animal species.
The figure of the hunter, sentinel of the territory in sighting, reporting and when possible, intervene in case of fires. The children immediately showed interest in the subject, paying particular attention to what concerns the animal world; in fact, their enthusiasm grew when, with a fashion show, the various ones were presented breeds of hunting dogs and, for each, the various tasks are illustrated. Also present Brus, labrador, the dog that saves people at sea, with his handler Giuseppe; and then Ciro, the German shepherd hero, accompanied by Giulia and Alessandro; Guapa, by Michele Marzano, who showed obedience and amused himself with the game of discs; the hounds of Pino Flagelli and Vincenzo Guzzi and finally Milka, the she-wolf of Gina Arcuri, Veterinary Doctor.
Also treated the theme of the abandonment of animals, which leads to strays, the cause of the spread of diseases and especially accidents, underlining that when you adopt a dog, you have to do it with love and dedication ... the dog is not a toy! The day, visibly appreciated by the children, gave great satisfaction especially to the organizers, who thank all those who contributed to the success of the meeting: the head teacher of the Cotronei Comprehensive Institute, the Primary School teachers, prof. Pasquale Pariano who spoke of the sea, the Municipality of Cotronei for the availability of the square, the Councilor Vincenzo Girimonte for the presence and Provincial Volunteer Guards Federcaccia for the collaboration. Full approval and sharing by the Provincial Federcaccia, which hopes this is only the beginning of a journey that can be an example to follow to carry forward the fundamental values of our association: the defense and protection of the territory… It is no coincidence that a past campaign enunciated this slogan, which is always relevant for us: “Man inherits the earth and guards it to leave it intact for his children”.
