A difficult sentence to digest
Il Tar of Milan has suspended the opening of hunting for aquatic birds, song thrush, snipe and woodcock, to be postponed to October and in the part where the maximum game bag of 20 head of woodcock is not foreseen. The news is now known by everyone and left in disbelief regional institutions and hunters for the reasons listed in the sentence: "It is disheartening to see that what the judges allow in other regions is denied to Lombard hunters - he says Federcaccia Lombardy - But the most incredible thing is that the TAR suspended an uncontested act (the supplementary calendar), arguing that the region did not justify opening at 18, after he had spent 20 pages of motivation on this point alone ”.
The precedent of Emilia
Only the day before a sentence of Tar of Emilia Romagna, again on an appeal by Lac, he had in fact given completely different ideas by not accepting the spurious motivations of the animal rights activists. Evidently something differentiates us from the Emilian hunters despite having the two regions deliberated two substantially identical calendars; we believed that the country of origin was for both Italy and for both the geographic location was the Po Valley. We were firmly convinced until 8 September, a date that refers to many other tragedies, that the law in Italy would apply unambiguously, clearly, without interpretation: we were wrong, and grossly. However, we then remembered that the political colors that the Regions administer at the behest of the voters may be different, and indeed between Lombardy and Emilia Romagna the political positions are diametrically opposed and today this is the only difference that distinguishes us.
The reference to ISPRA
But it is a difference resulting from democratic elections that no influence should have on the choices of the hunting calendar, at least from our point of view. We hunters are forced to accept the sentence of the Tar, we have the right to comment on it, we have the duty to go and vote with the aim of bringing to the Government of Italy those political forces that want an equal law for all citizens, both from Emilia and from Lombardy. But we would like to add that ISPRA must also be reformed. The Ispra opinions seem to be incontrovertible, like the tablets of the ten commandments of Moses; because then the judge of the TAR of Emilia Romagna raised the problem that the dates identified by Ispra for migrations in Italy differ from those applied and recognized by other European states contiguous to ours, France, Spain, Portugal, Greece and other. Is there an ideological flaw in the drafting of scientific data? Are our Ispra technicians better than the French and all the other European colleagues?
The commitment of politics
Enough with these jokes, enough with this prevailing anti-hunting and anti-scientific ideology, enough with these continuous insults to people's intelligence! Turn the page, politics do its duty, those who do not work professionally must be removed, sent to other departments where he cannot do any damage, both in Ispra, in some ministries, in the Lombardy Region and in the Regional Territorial Offices of all the Lombard provinces. Politics must make this commitment to the hunting world, otherwise Ispra will say next year that hunting must be opened the 10 October and the year after 20, without giving a minimum of plausible and credible explanations. The animal welfare associations will happily make appeals and the Lombardy TAR will welcome them, writing a sentence, like the last one, in which he writes that the Region has not motivated the opening to September 18th, despite the resolution motivated it in as many as 20 pages (source: FIDC).
