Editorial: Another hunting season, with some exceptions, has now come to an end .. and as always it has been the subject of controversy by the multicolored anti-hunting acronyms, which, in order to attract attention, do not hesitate to exploit, ignobly, the sad events that unfortunately happened.
It is obviously useless to reply to their accusations by remembering that there are other activities, sports but also of daily fulfillment that have, given in hand, a much higher accident rate than hunting, but from that ear… they never hear us!
We do not want to go down to their level of propaganda controversy and above all, as Hunters, it is not our intention to hide. We are aware that there are individuals who, despite having a hunting license, do not behave responsibly, and with their deplorable attitude, not only discredit the category, but above all can put people's safety at risk by causing accidents.
We cannot tolerate teachings and morals from anyone, we must intervene ourselves so that these people are educated and brought back within a behavioral logic that respects the rules and that hunting education which, handed down from father to son, has become an integral part of our cultural background.
FACE Italia and CNCN, among others, they are already working jointly in this direction, promoting, with positive results, initiatives related to the safety and continuous training of hunters. The success of this initiative, like others, is in collaboration, in working together.
We must be united, have one voice, great and passionate, for the defense of the right to live our passion with serenity, joy and respect.. Too often, apparent divisions have made us seem weak and not very determined, and have left room for our detractors who have provided the new generations with a distorted and biased view of the figure of the hunter.
We too, from the pages of our magazine, want to contribute to giving a vision of the uniqueness, compactness and seriousness of the sector. It is for this reason that we have decided to promote a different initiative, in contrast to journalistic practice. Every month the main article of the magazine will be entrusted to a representative of one of the different hunting sectors: associations, arms factories, tour operators, accessory manufacturers, breeders, etc.
A way to try to give a concrete signal, to make it clear that the hunting world is made up of many leading actors, serious and respectable, certainly competitors, but who know how to work all together to achieve a common goal: the defense of hunting and its healthy and authentic values which we have as a moral obligation to make future generations understand!
