Few incorrect gestures risk nullifying the commitment of many hunting leaders and public administrators. We are obviously talking about the crimes ascertained during the first week of pre-opening in Brescia. Some hunters have been caught using electromechanical decoys and in possession of culled specimens of torder and black nurses. We are not interested this time in quantifying the number of people sanctioned on the basis of how many were hunting: taking prohibited specimens during the pre-opening is unacceptable, it is an incalculable damage to the image of the hunting world.
The only species allowed in pre-opening are, in the province of Brescia, the corvids and a hunter cannot confuse them with torder and black nurses. We can no longer tolerate these behaviors because they put the passion of thousands of people at risk. Those who want to go hunting must respect the rules, which are clear and known by all, otherwise stay home; we are sure that no general practitioner prescribes the obligation to go hunting on anyone. Great embarrassment hit the regional bodies that authorized the pre-opening a Brescia and the first reaction was to no longer authorize it for next year. That's no good!
The collection of corvids in pre-opening has an extraordinary management value as well as being a difficult and highly satisfying hunt and so not authorizing it would be a real shame, in consideration of the fact that it affects many people, especially young people. Federcaccia must take charge of promoting, with greater effort, the culture of compliance with the rules and if they will come toughened sanctions, as the current government seems to be doing through a document for the fight against poaching prepared by the Minister of the Environment Costa, we will certainly not be able to blame only the usual animal rights activists. The future of hunting depends on the hunters, from their ability to institutionalize hunting as an instrument of regulation of Nature, that Nature that urban civilization, of cities, has abandoned to itself after millennia of constructive coexistence. In this context, hunters can and must have a specific role shared by all of society. (Federcaccia Brescia)
Of course, confusing the prispolone, and the black nurse for a corvid is the best; then those of Brescia complain if only on 2 of the 12 provinces of Lombardy they do the checks; when the special anti-poaching teams of the Forestry come out of Rome, they complain of to be persecuted ????
