Conscientious objection
Paolo Sparvoli, number one of the National Free Hunting Association, also wanted to have his say on the issue of ethical reasons that could prevent hunting activity on the land, as triumphantly announced by the animal-environmentalist world: “The Council of State, with ruling 895/2026, recognized the right to conscientious objection to the practice of hunting on private land.".
Apparent animalist success
"At first glance, it might seem like a (nearly) success for the animal rights movement and a (nearly) defeat for the Provincial Wildlife Hunting Plan, the much-praised ATCs and the wildlife management regulated by law 157/02, which already provides for the possibility of requesting the establishment of closed funds for valid technical-scientific reasons.".
Article 842
"In reality, however, the Council of State's unfavorable ruling (which we disagree with but must be accepted with the utmost respect) contains absolutely nothing that even remotely suggests the abolition of Article 842 of the Italian Civil Code. Each request must, in any case, be carefully examined to ensure there are no concrete obstacles to the implementation of the Wildlife and Hunting Plan, which, we recall, is a management tool drafted with the utmost consideration not of the hunting community's requests, but of the economic, social, and environmental interests of the entire community. The triumphal tone of many animal rights press releases, which refer to a historic ruling, therefore seems entirely excessive.".
