“Hunters are a major part of the PSA solution, in Italy as in other European countries. There LAV put your heart in peace and offer to collaborate as the hunters did by making yourself available to authority and already engaged in the fundamental operation of finding the infected carcasses, according to the indications received by them ". Thus the National President of Federcaccia Massimo Buconi comments on the requests to stop hunting throughout Italy and the unfounded accusations made by LAV against the hunting world. “As always, with rare exceptions - continued the President of Federcaccia - complaints and whining arrive from the most extreme animal rights and environmentalist world, but no solution to environmental and faunal problems.
It's not just wild boars at stake, it's there an entire leading sector of the Italian economy, and instead of making themselves available to do their part, in the face of a national emergency, as already in the days of Covid, animal rights activists find nothing better than to exploit the opportunity to advance the usual refrain ". "L'EFSA, the European food safety authority, has included hunters in the information campaign simply because they frequent the woods, as they were the subject of the same campaign, hikers, trekkers, mountain bikers and all those who for any reason could come into contact with the ASF virus.
Certainly not because as LAV claims they are among the main spreaders of the virus. Of course, sitting in the living room, this cannot happen. LAV, as usual, telling partial truths, he also forgets to mention that in the countries that have faced and already eradicated or limited the epidemic it was the hunters who were involved, certainly not the animal rights activists. They are not imaginative utopias that will stop the plague, but concrete acts made by rolling up their sleeves - concluded Buconi - So let's now wait to see the LAV volunteers at work in the woods, as also on this occasion they are already doing hunters".
