Federcaccia replies to Striscia. As expected, discussions and controversies were raised by the service of the well-known transmission “Striscia la storia” entitled “The slaughter in the park of the Po Delta”, which the authors intended to denounce the supposed phenomenon of poaching in the Delta.
Among those who replied to the contents of the report also the national vice-president of the Italian Federation of Hunting Lorenzo Carnacina, who in an article signed by Barbara Braghin which appeared in "Il Resto del Carlino" on 5 January declares: "A wrong image of the Delta is given - He says -. Here the law is respected and if unlawful episodes occur they are reported, instead they built the news on TV ”.
Carnacina asks to be told when and where the 900 birds shown in a photo were killed. “How old is the photo of the slaughter broadcast on TV? - asks the vice president of Federcaccia -. Well, that image concerns a story that took place in a private hunting farm in the valley a few years ago. In the video there are neither the place nor the dates of killing, why? ». Carnacina explains that hunting has its own regulations and those who do not respect them are condemned.
“Almost all hunters behave well - he reiterates -. Then, as in all environments, there may be someone who goes beyond the rules, but that video refers to events that took place a few years ago ”. In addition to him, the mayor of Porto Tolle and the president of the fishing village of Pila joined harshly to criticize the service and its contents in the same article, highlighting other inconsistencies and forcing.
