“We have received with interest and appreciation the formulation we have come up with in Senate for the text of the proposal to amend article 9 of the Constitution relating to the environment and animals. From the reference to a generic 'protection' open to any ideological interpretation and reading, it is rightly made explicit reference to the laws of the State which regulate the matter, in fact already existing in our legal system. Not a victory for animalism therefore, as someone is trying to sell in these hours for vested interests, but proper recognition within our Charter of the environment and fauna, the good of all Italians as well as the cultural and landscape heritage, which Article 9 of the Constitution already provides.
I hope that in the passage to the Chambers for the legislative process envisaged, we can reach a an even better definition, but above all that there is space in politics and in society the awareness that to protect means to manage and not to embalm under a glass bell ”. Thus the national president of Italian Federation of Hunting Massimo Buconi he commented on the news of the agreement between the political forces on the formulation of the proposed amendment to Article 9 of the Constitution.
