“The hunters protest against the controls”. “In Brescia the double-winners parade to be free”. These and other titles were devoted to event organized last Friday in Brescia, conveying the image of a people of transgressors demanding impunity. It is therefore necessary to specify, and this already says a lot about the climate now created around hunting, that the hunting associations present, including Federcaccia Lombardy and in particular the Provincial of Brescia with its president Marco Bruni, and the participants are not at all against the controls to avoid the use of electronic calls and abatement of protected species o against the use and trade in live decoys of illicit origin.
La fight against poaching and to illicit hunters it is not in fact an exclusive of the anti-hunting acronyms and sees the hunting world on the field every day with its own guards, with similar commitment, but only less spectacularization. The Brescia demonstration did not concern the substance, but only and only the methods of checks relating to live recalls, because they are linked to the circumstance that the rings obligatorily affixed to the recalls and today recognized by the Lombardy Region have already been found to have left the factory for more than 80% out of the tolerances declared by the manufacturer and must be replaced. A circumstance that also emerged from a study by Federcaccia Brescia, which has entrusted the verification of new rings to a company specialized in certified precision measurements.
Added to this is that being made of very thin aluminum they are subject to deterioration and deformation over time, so they should be made with non-deformable material, precisely to avoid illegal practices and guarantee peace of mind to hunters. It is worth underlining the circumstance, perhaps unknown to the same people who applaud this kind of operations, that within a few days, the seized calls, after having removed the ring, which is cut and therefore it becomes impossible to ascertain its regularity or not, they are released into nature, where they will all die, not being accustomed to free life. From these objective problems arises the request for an amnesty: since the rings object of dispute are not chosen by hunters, but the only ones recognized by the Region, it is this that must - once again - take responsibility for their choices without making them fall on citizens who have limited themselves to observing the standards.
Speech apart, but equally important, the manner in which the checks are carried out. It has been reported several times, and on this we will ask those in charge to verify oppressive checks, conducted with a number of agents, including volunteers of anti-hunt associations, disproportionate to the real need, with rough manners, which easily lead to one state of awe, as if the controlled was a dangerous criminal caught in the act of crime and not a citizen who is practicing an activity permitted by law. The reasons for a peaceful and orderly protest, very different from others that are crossing the country these days, are all there and we invite you to reflect on those who have contested it, politicians in the lead. An example among all the honorable Michele Vittoria Brambilla.
The honorable, for some time more committed as an animal rights television presenter than as a parliamentarian, from the pages of "Corriere della Sera" he thundered saying that hunters should be ashamed to protest the controls. In addition to distorting reality, what would the Hon. It shines if in the course of a routine roadside check you or any other citizen were badly questioned, forced out of the car abruptly and kept locked up for hours with no possibility of notifying anyone while the police officer proceeds to check the documents? So no, honorable. It is not hunters who have to be ashamed of protesting things that are not right, but rather those who, like her, judge them a priori responsible for sins they do not have to follow an ideology (Source: Hunting Federation).
