Resuming a fact from a few days ago, RAINEWS today published the news of an accident that occurred in the municipality of Fonte Nuova, in the province of Rome, last January 4, where a 70-year-old while cleaning his weapon allegedly fired a rifle shot from window hitting – fortunately without consequences – a passing car. The man was immediately identified by the Carabinieri to whom he would have acknowledged his responsibilities by declaring that the shot had in fact been fired accidentally. So far the chronicle of the facts, which pending investigations by the Judiciary we can only strongly condemn, calling for the utmost prudence and attention in the handling of any firearm. Equally absolutely to blame, however, is the evident attempt by the author of the article and by RAI to present the incident as a consequence of the inclusion in the Budget Law of the amendment on wildlife control. The title chosen for the article, "Wild boar hunting in the city: there would be an accident, man miraculously alive", is biased and does not correspond to the truth, which then continues by giving voice to the unfounded declarations of the European Animal Rights Party - PAE, who exploited the affair to relaunch the falsehood of the hunting Far West that would authorize hunting in the city. Rai and the president of the PAE Stefano Fuccelli would do well to investigate the substantial truth of the facts, for the first, a precise ethical duty. We invite both of you to read what Giampiero Sammuri, President of Federparchi, wrote about this regulation, certainly not a hunter or supporter of the alleged hunters' lobby: "Anyone who reads the text carefully sees that hunting is not opened in any area where today it is prohibited, neither in the city, nor in protected natural areas,” said Sammuri. The only Wild West in Italy is that of news and it is very irritating that the public service contributes to it (source: FIDC).
Yet another demonstration As is now a consolidated tradition, this year too in Benna (BI) the local hunters federations led by the good Marcello Cesareni have worked carefully on the municipal territory in order to clean it of the waste that is too often abandoned by citizens...
