A meeting was held in Faenza, organized by Federcaccia Ravenna, during which various problems of the hunting world from a young point of view were addressed; the maximum age of the participants was 30 years.
The Federcaccia Ravenna initiative aims to give space to young people in the meeting organized with the commitment of the whole association and in particular of Elio Missiroli of Fusignano and Roberto Penazzi of Conselice usually involved in the sporting and cultural initiatives of FIDC .
The event took place at the Hotel Cavallino in Faenza ed it saw the participation of about forty young people up to the age of 30, including a welcome presence of women. The vice president of the provincial section of Federcaccia, Francesco Bianchedi, opened the evening with his greetings chaired by the provincial president, Italino Babini; also present at the event various provincial leaders and some hunters, each expert in one or more hunting and sporting disciplines in order to be able to give competent answers to the young participants. The presence of the former provincial councilor for agriculture and hunting as well as the former regional president of Federcaccia, Libero Asioli, was much appreciated.
One of the topics dealt with, very important for young people, concerned the costs of hunting and ethical relationships. The current social situation of world crisis, in which young people do not have sufficient economic resources, is to the detriment of their approach to hunting which, among the various regulatory constraints and the not just expensive taxes to pay, has become a difficult activity.
Another problem, raised during the meeting by the young people themselves, concerned the relationship between generations which could be improved; in practice i young people complained of a poor generational turnover also due to the fact that the elderly often tend not to blend with the young.
Among the proposals made during the evening, that of facilitate from an economic point of view the approach to hunting by neophytes and an improvement in the relationship between veteran and young hunters.
The Provincial President of Federcaccia, Italino Babini, explained, “The initiative of the Federcaccia from Ravenna it therefore tends to encourage a "movement" among its young members offering them direct involvement through a series of themed meetings and through contacts on the network, supporting them in the initial phase of the hunting activity ".
