Regarding the continuous, repeated animal rights intolerance which was also the interpreter of the Veneto Regional Councilor of the PD Andrea Zanoni, the National President ofARCI Hunting - Piergiorgio Fassini - declared: "We will not be drawn into the repeated, sterile controversy practiced in search of self-referential visibility and not aimed at solving the serious problems that weigh on Italian citizens. Putting the "hunt" among the problems and not among the resources of this country is a fake, a manipulation of the thinking of Italians who, not in the polls but in the "ballot boxes", they demonstrated how much they thought it was useless and harmful to spend money of taxpayers in a referendum against the values of the rural economy even before hunting. Taking note of the people's expressions is not convenient for those who seek, through "media predation", to give themselves a role.
It is not us who say it but the facts: animal rights exasperation, the boycott of the controls of the populations of wild species with the result of car accidents and risks of epidemics and, thus, the ban on scientific research even with experimentation with animal species, the criminalization of a balanced feeding also with meat (if wild they are even healthier). These are signs of an aggressive fundamentalism of the prospect of a better quality of life, also to be offered to the new generations, which boycott the search for a consolidated and stable harmony between man and wild animal species, to be built and managed thanks to scientific knowledge to guarantee biodiversity and survival to all species of creation.
This is a wise and wise humanity, responsible and the architects can only be women and men. We think it is misleading to deny the history of man which is also made up of hunting and respect, wildlife management and animals in general. The question we ask ourselves in respect of all personal positions (intolerance is violence that others practice) is one. Both left and right politics and the trade union want to abdicate their role of management and government to be replaced by dictatorship of animals? If so, there is nothing but trouble for the citizens of the world today. Those of tomorrow will not be there ".
