A thirty-year “monopoly”
For over thirty years, the so-called "environmental and wildlife management" has been in the hands of a political group that had two objectives: to support the very powerful lobby of the highly subsidized animal rights and environmental associations; and to strengthen the media power of some "green" associations, transforming them into very convenient political launch pads for so many honorable members and senators that it is even useless to list them. While it is undoubted that these two objectives have been brilliantly achieved, it is equally clear that this thirty-year "monopoly" has produced monstrous damage for the entire Italian ecosystem, devastated by abnormal populations of alien and opportunistic species and by an out-of-control number of wild boars, deer and bovids that reproduce undisturbed in the countless protected areas and then carry out devastating incursions to the detriment of an agriculture in increasing difficulty.
The wolf question
Not to mention the wolves, which have now exceeded the monstrous and unsustainable threshold of five thousand heads and which roam right into the big cities feasting on convenient prey such as dogs, domestic cats and farmyard animals. All this, under the smug and complacent gaze of some media outlets that stand out for their gross ignorance on wildlife matters. A scientific ignorance so great that it does not allow them to understand that it was precisely the lack of technical pragmatism and courage that produced a devastating imbalance between animal species with the now almost irreversible destruction of the much invoked biodiversity that is certainly not put at risk by hunting which, on the contrary, could play, as happens in the vast majority of European countries, an indispensable role of control.
Deregulation
The barricades that are being erected within this very powerful animal-environmentalist universe are demonstrating that, unfortunately, an ideological vision still prevails over the complex problems that were originated and fueled precisely by a technical-scientific short-sightedness that has caused enormous damage. And the cries of indignation against the alleged (and invented) deregulation, which would put wild fauna at risk in the delicate period of nesting and parental care, sound fake if one considers that the disgusting Control Plan for wood pigeons (which could be killed from April to September 15), strongly desired by a regional left that winks at some agricultural organizations, has not been given a glance or a shred of criticism except (belatedly) and only by ENPA, which was evidently taken aback by our courageous appeal presented to the TAR. We of Libera Caccia, while we applaud the courage of Minister Lollobrigida and the Government, thanking them for their coherence, reiterate that true environmentalism would need many things but not the ideological and Taliban fanaticism of animal rights activists and vegans (Paolo Sparvoli, president of ANLC).
