Emiliano Galvanetto, number one of the provincial section of Vicenza of Italian Federation of Hunting, has decided to intervene to clarify the position of the hunting association regarding the poaching phenomenon. Galvanetto stressed once again that in the Federation poachers are not welcome, there is only room for hunters. In recent months there have been several cases that have risked and are still likely to put in a bad light anyone who hunts by following the rules.
The episodes are those that occurred between October, November and December, all in the Vicenza area and discovered by the police. Federcaccia Vicenza referred to thekilling of a Hermit Ibis in Thiene, to the denunciation of two poachers responsible for the killing of a roe deer, the discovery of nets for fowling, ungulat headsie a chamois hanging in a warehouse in Recoaro.
In addition, Galvanetto recalled the killing of a deer in Valpiana and the seizure of 3700 forbidden birds, discovered in the fridge of a butcher in Thiene. No members of the association were involved, which can count more than 4 thousand members at the provincial level. The president was keen to emphasize the continued compliance with the rules, given that "In serious cases like these, if it had been our members, they would have been immediately expelled, because those who commit crimes of this type are not tolerated.".
