Lombardy region back on hunting and on the rules to be respected, but this time they would have to submit to regional restrictions the gamekeepers. According to the new amendments made to the Regional Law 26/93 entitled “Norms for the protection of wildlife and for the protection of the environmental balance and discipline of hunting ", gamekeepers should wear a high visibility jacket and headgear and also use a night vision device when hunting wild boar (which, according to the amendments, will be authorized all year round) .
On WWF Italy the volunteers in defense of animals wanted to give vent to their concerns and criticisms regarding these changes. The criticisms were also voiced in a note from Legambiente, Lav, Lac, Enpa, Gaia, Lipu, Gol and Cabs Bird Guard. It reads: "Among the new changes approved by Commission VIII that will go to the courtroom on 12 May, the obligation for the Volunteer Hunting Guards to wear a high visibility jacket and headgear: a clear gift to poachers. Imagining a gamekeeper visible as a reflector, trying to surprise one of the many poachers who kills protected species or uses prohibited means, seems more like a joke than a legislative act of a serious country.
Unless the excuse is a norm for the benefit of safety (of voluntary hunting agents only?), Because in this sense in many countries the high visibility garment is then imposed on hunters, certainly not to gamekeepers: in the United States, for example, high-visibility clothing is mandatory in almost all forms of hunting, so much so that it is defined as "Hunting Orange" "(The Voice of Mantua).
This is a request made to the Lombardy Region by the councilor Massardi (Lega) and hunting manager of the (FIDC), we see that he wants to protect all his constituents who are mischievous from possible hunting sanctions ???
In the United States, they can afford high visibility, 1 xké they have immense freedom to be able to hunt on the territory, 2 hunters are not frowned upon as here by us and 3 there are no anti-hunting balls attacking a poor old man only because he has in hand a rifle to legally hunt. I hope they will also put the rattles on the volunteer gamekeepers. At least in addition to seeing them, they feel as well.
