Mr Barbara Mazzali, regional councilor of Lombardy (Brothers of Italy), told an episode online that demonstrates how useful hunters are, even in the most unthinkable contexts: “Here is the best way to make everyone understand not only that hunters they are not poachers but also that the hunters fight them with all their might: a few days ago the environmental guards Ecoclub they stationed themselves in the Salerno area, identified a poacher and put him on the run.
The following morning, after a further inspection in the same area, it was identified a woodcock wounded in the wing by a rifle shot, probably in the course of poaching. In fact, the woodcocks usually feed in the evening hours, in these hours they are more vulnerable to hunting due to its too regular and almost butterfly flight, unlike when it comes sought with the pointing dog during the day. Reason why it is forbidden to hunt from dusk to dawn. The injured bird was rescued at the expense of Ekoclub environmental guards.
The woodcock, after the appropriate treatment, will be released so that it can undertake the migration that these birds make every year to reach northern Europe. For those few who did not know it, Ekoclub's difference from other environmental associations is the centrality of man with respect to the environment and consequently his possibility of harvesting the vegetable and animal fruits of the earth, with respect and for real necessity. This possibility allows man to maintain his ancestral habits and to have a fundamental effect in maintaining the environmental balance ".
