Archcaccia Lombardia, which for years we had almost doubted it existed having never perceived its concrete activity (our problem, that we are inattentive), woke up.
And he saw fit to do so with a press release on the Lombard hunting calendar.
Federcaccia Lombardia generally intervenes by talking about its own initiatives, or the work of the Bodies, but in this case it cannot avoid responding to the Regional Arcicaccia, which places the political responsibility of the hunting calendar (the present and those in the past) since they would have helped to get the current majority elected.
He also accuses her of seeming resigned to this calendar, but in this regard it is enough to listen and read the various interventions by Federcaccia to understand how things really are and what Federcaccia's position is, certainly not soft: instead, the doubt arises that Arcicaccia does not know nothing about administrative procedures and ignore the fact that a calendar approved on the basis of an opinion from ISPRA and a concluded VINCA, to be expanded, would have to be canceled and redone from scratch, and it would take six months.
Let's go in order: first of all Federcaccia Lombardia in the regional electoral campaign never sides with a party, but indicates to its members which are the candidates close to the hunt in the various parties, so that each can choose according to his own political sensitivity.
Unfortunately, in Lombardy, it is often difficult to find "hunting friends" among the "Kompagni of nature" or among the grillini on duty, but - where they exist - they are promptly indicated.
Perhaps we would have done better to do as Arcicaccia and bet everything on a majority of different colors in Lombardy?
It is now clear in fact that Arcicaccia has supported the current opposition, that is the one that already as a group or party line has stood against the roccoli, against the exceptions, punctually against all the changes proposed to the regional law in favor of hunting and of hunters.
Not to forget that Arcicaccia, through its affiliated Valtellina rib, openly supports the proposal of the Sondrio Wildlife Plan, whose Incidence Assessment is on a provincial scale the same as that which was withdrawn at a regional level and indigestible to the whole hunting world. .
As for the calendar, we recall when in a meeting with the Arci Region he argued that the Region should adopt a calendar against which no appeals are made: translated, this means transforming the ISPRA opinion in the calendar. It is useless to compare the attitude of animal welfare associations in Lombardy with that of other regions where they do not recur, where perhaps the calendar is not challenged not thanks to the Region, but due to the lack of well-equipped animal welfare associations. Or rather Arcicaccia should not limit itself to indicating other Regions that are "virtuous" for her, but should illustrate to Lombard hunters what is the calendar adopted in these virtuous regions (where perhaps two fixed half days of hunting are planned from the opening to 30 September).
We are pleased now to read that Arci does not like this calendar either, but we doubt that it does not like it because it is too permissive with respect to the opinion of ISPRA.
Lastly, Arcicaccia points to Federcaccia as responsible for the management carried out by the ATC and CAC: given that there are ATC and CAC that work very well, there are certainly others that struggle more. But merits and possible demerits do not go to the associations, but rather to all the nominees, who find themselves dealing with budgets, with diatribes between hunters, with the code of public contracts, with increasing costs in the face of increasingly narrow resources , with ever greater responsibilities.
It's a real shame that the revived Arcicaccia has a magic wand for everything, but - alas - she can't use it from the top of the Angelic Circles from which she watches us shaking her head, with the Truth in her pocket.
However, now we have a certainty: having sounded the alarm, Arcicaccia will finally always be present in the courtrooms of the Lombard Administrative Courts to defend the rights of hunters in appeals against the calendar rather than in other actions promoted by animal rights activists. Or he will even challenge the Calendar, the VINCA and the ISPRA opinion to get us kicked out more!
To date, we have never actually seen her participate in an appeal.
But first we believe that Arci Lombardia should have a nice coffee. Better if double.
And we invite you to do your own, rather than ramblingly criticizing from behind the construction site network.
