A real light
Of course, we're not out of the tunnel yet, but finally, at the end of the tunnel there's no longer just a vague glimmer like a mirage, but a real light. After the examination of the amendments in the Senate Environment and Agriculture Committees, the process of the law is now underway. reform of the "old" law 157 It will still have to go through two more steps, first in the Chamber of Deputies and then in the Chamber of Deputies. There is every reason for optimism because, after more than thirty years of absolute environmentalist and anti-hunting dominance, a government and a parliament have demonstrated they are no longer hostage to the complaints of an anti-hunting ideology that continues to influence public opinion and politicians with narratives based on fanciful and totally unfounded clichés, such as hunting among beach umbrellas, the two hundred million birds killed each year, the risks to biodiversity (which are instead attributable to the abnormal proliferation of certain often-alien wildlife species), or a hunting Wild West that makes neither head nor tail, given that the amendment provides for a tripled fine for poachers.
The letter from the EU
This time, the icing on the cake was a mysterious technical-bureaucratic letter, which was passed off—using disinformation methods—as a kind of condemnation from the EU, while in fact it merely contained a request for some clarifications. Both technical and bureaucratic in nature.
Waiting for the word "end"
This time, however, neither complaints, nor lies, nor bogus "bureaucratic condemnations" were enough to frighten Agriculture Minister Francesco Lollobrigida, Environment Minister Pichetto Fratin, the entire Government, and Parliament, whom we at Libera Caccia gratefully thank for their commitment and consistency. We urge them to continue to the end with a reform that, contrary to popular belief, has not revolutionized or overturned anything at all, as is clearly evident from the Title, to which only the word "Management" has been added (considered indispensable throughout Europe while domestic animal rights activists consider it blasphemous), leaving Article 1 completely unchanged: "Wild fauna is the inalienable heritage of the State and is protected in the interests of the national and international community."
Now we are just waiting for the final word (Paolo Sparvoli – president of ANLC).
