Next hunting season
And finally the infamous Ispra opinion on the proposal for a hunting calendar for the hunting season 2023/2024 has arrived. At least these are the rumors, the usually well-informed ones, and we will certainly have confirmation soon. Obviously we don't know it in detail as we haven't read it but what they feared unfortunately seems to be a reality. Which? Simple, the one for which Ispra's opinion is identical to that of last year, testifying that the Government, the minister responsible for hunting and the many parliamentarians who left for the capital from Lombardy have done nothing, absolutely nothing, indeed less than zero , to protect the rights of hunting citizens who will be offended again this year by an at least questionable Ispra opinion.
ISPRA indications
Because, at least this will be allowed for us, to criticize and oppose what we don't share.
So, returning to the calendar, Ispra would like the hunting season to begin on 1 October and not, as usual and as required by law 157/92 of the Italian State, on the third Sunday of September: therefore Ispra's technicians assume the role of legislators , they exclude the Parliament as a democratic expression of the will of the Italians from their duties and decide for them what must be done and if a law is no longer valid. We will explain the other amenities provided for in this document to you next week after reading it, but we are aware that this request of October 1st is enough to ruin the next season for us. The Lombardy Region will be able to deviate from this indication, but it will have to do so with reasons which, in the event of an appeal by the usual animal rights activists, otherwise taken for granted, will have to convince the judges of the Lombardy Tar.
The need for new strategies
Not an easy mission but from the usual indiscretions it seems that Councilor Beduschi wants to try to build a solid path to try to obtain a favorable sentence as happened in some other region last year. Of course we are talking about a solid path and not about a flag attempt like those claimed by some regional councilors who complained about the failure to send the request for derogations and roccoli to Ispra; from our personal point of view, requests must be made if you have new strategies, new projects, new ideas, building precise and feasible mechanisms and not so much to do them! The "just to make them" is of no use to the hunting world and sounds like a joke, even the unpleasant and stale kind. It was not a good show seen in recent days, two months after the elections, the conflict between people who should protect the hunting activity, people who should find an agreement made up of a union of forces, a union of ideas and energies but above all of skills. So let's not lose cohesion now for the hunting calendar, let's start looking at the theme of openings and closures, the theme of hunting seasons and try to solve the problem.
The attitude of politics
Then the anellini question will follow immediately afterwards: do the elected councilors, Assessor Beduschi, the officials, have any solutions and ideas? They put them on the table, but seriously though, the hunting world will try to do its part, especially Federcaccia. And when we say serious ideas, they must be supported by several legal opinions, from different backgrounds, by technical proposals, used in other European countries, in short, sustainable. Today the real problem remains the attitude of national politics towards Ispra, all the rest are sterile diatribes between subjects without great or even zero powers. We trust in the words used by Assessor Beduschi in his first meeting with the hunting associations during which he hoped for collaboration: we are ready! The political will much desired by someone, already ready to criticize his own electoral choices in a radical way, must be translated into a qualified, intelligent commitment that produces new strategies because otherwise if we continue to reheat the old soups we will end up like the past years. We are aware that there are different views among hunting managers, but today we are talking about hunting periods, the length of the hunting season, the possibility of continuing a form of hunting, that from a fixed stand, if the question of rings is not resolved, therefore the whole rest must take a back seat for the sake of hunting!
