Once again we must deal not with the usual attacks of extremist animal and environmentalist associations, but with those of other Hunting Associations. In particular, the smear campaign that has been open for some time against us by Weather in Arcicaccia, which evidently needs an enemy to prove its existence. Sad to see that she chose him from among those on the same side. In all honesty one wonders if Arcicaccia is really like us on the side of the defense of hunters, given his somewhat curious behavior. For example, to mention the last episode, Arcicaccia refused to sign the letter sent jointly by Federcaccia and the other Associations gathered in the Control Room at the Mite, the Regions and the Councils to forcefully ask to resist the warning sent to them. animal-environmental associations to reduce times and species of Hunting calendars for next season.
The accusation against Federcaccia of throwing economic resources and energy - neither of Arcicaccia's, however - into studies and research considered by Arcicaccia useless if not harmful, but that however, they have repeatedly allowed the Regions to resist the absurd requests for time and species restriction regularly instead endorsed by Ispra. Awe towards the latter or perhaps an attempt to belittle something that cannot be produced? Last of these days, the accusation still leveled against Federcaccia of pursuing supposed private projects made after the announcement of Coldiretti of the birth of an association aimed at creating a network of the country's agricultural companies.
We find this accusation from Arcicaccia quite curious, which for some time seems to find particular harmony with Eps, the association that has always represented reservists in Italy, assuming almost the role of spokesperson, defender and supporter in the last week. Among other things, since Eps is affiliated with Confagricoltura, according to Arcicaccia Confagricoltura-Eps yes, Coldiretti-CNCN no. A curiosity: why? The initiative that so much agitation with consequent abundant production of press releases has created in Arcicaccia, was presented by Coldiretti together with the CNCN - National Hunting and Nature Committee yesterday morning, assumes the name of "AB - Agrivenatoria Biodiversitalia", brings together numerous Italian agricultural companies and constitutes, as stated by them, a renewed, important alliance between the world of agriculture, hunting and wildlife management.
No new hunting association, no overcoming of the842, no distortion of 157/92 with regard to "private reserves". As President Coldiretti Prandini underlined, at the center of this new project we intend to place the role of the hunter as an active environmental manager and promote the development of knowledge and attendance of rural environments in a positive relationship between farmers, hunters and citizens. The expressed ambition is to seek a new strategic alliance between farmers and hunters for a correct management of the environment, which will make the existing conflicts cease. A not secondary element is also the project for the enhancement of game meat, also intended as an element to better support the economy of companies in inland areas and often disadvantaged. Another important point is the promotion of a new knowledge of the cultural, social and economic value of hunting in all its aspects.
President Buconi, who participated in the presentation, appreciated the programmatic lines expressed both by the President of the CNCN Maurizio Zipponi and by President Coldiretti Prandini, above all for the clear desire expressed to move in the 157/92 area and the absolute lack of mass. in discussion of art. 842 of the Italian Civil Code Federcaccia will certainly be available for a constructive discussion to develop and give substance to the strategic objective of a new renewed alliance between hunters and farmers for environmental management that overcomes current difficulties. We hope that Liberacaccia, who had expressed a more or less instrumental wait-and-see, will observe and objectively evaluate the situation and we hope that Arcicaccia will choose his enemies better. We will try to do it with friends (Press Office of the Italian Hunting Federation).
