Process of the proposed law
The process of the bill with the first signature of the League deputy has begun in the XIII agriculture commission in the Chamber of Deputies Francesco Bruzzone of amendment to law no. 157/1992 relating to wild fauna and the regulation of hunting activity. The main proposed changes concern primarily legal certainty for hunting calendars, through a revision of the procedures that the regions will have to follow to approve hunting calendars. In essence, the regions will have to enact regional five-year hunting planning laws and in this context the regional hunting fauna plan, superordinate to the calendar, and the regional hunting calendar will have to be contained.
The need for clarity
Every year, to adapt to the needs and consistency of the individual species, the regions will establish the maximum seasonal game bag for each individual species. A second point is related to the inclusion in law 157 of the orientation of the jurisprudence in this country, which clarifies the breeding and use of live decoys, declaring those that come from farms clearly of a domestic nature and therefore not subject to the rules live capture calls. This will allow us to resolve the distortions and the many disputes that have arisen recently in all the regions where live decoys are used for stalking.
The various types of hunting
A third point concerns hunting options, in fact in 1992, the year law 157 was issued, there were 1.800.000 hunters in Italy. Today there are around 500.000 of them and there is no longer any need to divide the forms of hunting and the different types of hunting activities. As regards ungulates, which have recently developed a lot in our country, the qualifications that the individual hunter obtains must be valid throughout the national territory and not just in a single province or region. Furthermore, some rules will be introduced to adapt ungulate hunting to modern techniques, for example regarding optics.
Election propaganda
“When writing a bill it is easy to insert arguments that many like, sometimes so beautiful that they remain a pure illusion or electoral propaganda towards hunters. Hunters can no longer be fooled with electoral propaganda or with excessively demagogic proposals that cannot be supported. (Source FEDERCACCIA BRESCIA – CACCIAPENSIERI)
