Insults on social media; applause for the death of hunters; dirty seats; fixed stalks destroyed; hunters, mostly elderly, physically attacked by groups of mobsters. Last episode in chronological order - in the same days of the controversy for the unacceptable sentences pronounced on the fatal accident in Sardinia - yesterday unknown people set fire to two roof terraces in the Campoformido hunting reserve. Granted the solidarity for the Reserve, the proximity to all the hunters of the Friuli Venezia Giulia and the concrete support to any initiative our Regional will want to field against this unspeakable gesture.
What is worrying, however, is the intensification of increasingly widespread attitudes intolerance towards an activity that perhaps too many forget to be foreseen and regulated by law, exercised by authorized citizens after having been subjected to visits, medical checks and police checks, in the ways and times established by science and by national and European institutions. "From the confrontation, even heated, on the hunting issue, which is part of the normal debate of any civil society, we have moved on to a widespread climate of hatred and violence towards hunters - forcefully denounces the National President of Federcaccia Massimo Buconi –.
All this is unacceptable and no longer tolerable. Just as it is no longer acceptable that violence, abuse and illegal acts against the person and property are almost regularly passed over in silence, in the indifference and almost tacit approval of the media, society and even at times of the Authorities, as if it were normal to overwhelm those who think differently with hatred. I invite those in duty to watch carefully and not underestimate this drift, to prevent even more serious events from happening ”.
Federcaccia will continue to report the situation, asking for concrete acts of prevention and equally ready and certain measures against those who stain themselves with acts contrary to peaceful coexistence and to the laws. "I will ask today - concludes President Buconi - a meeting with the Minister of the Interior, to expose an objectively worrying situation that it can no longer be underestimated and ask for a clear and firm response to this climate of hatred towards an entire category of citizens ”.
