There are exactly two weeks left before theVicenza HIT Show, the 2016 edition of the prestigious event which is also the main Italian appointment of reference for the sporting and civil weapons and ammunition sector, equipment and accessories dedicated to the outdoor world, hunting, sport shooting and personal use. During the first day, that of the next 13 February, there will be one of the most interesting events and which closely concerns hunting, that is the round table that was organized by the Vicenza Fair and by CIC Italia (International Hunting Council). The discussion will be entitled "Hunting associations: the duty to act and communicate" and very important personalities will participate.
It is Renata Briano, Vice-President of the Intergroup of the European Parliament "Biodiversity, Hunting, Rural Activities", but there will also be the Honorable Michl Ebner, editor and number one of FACE (Federation of hunting and conservation associations of the European Union), Dr. Bernard Loze, president of the CIC and of the lawyer Nicholas Perrotti, president of the National Hunting and Nature Committee (CNCN).
The debate will be preceded by greetings from Matthew Marzotto, president of Fiera di Vicenza, without forgetting the introduction of Massimo Marracci, general secretary of CIC Italy, who will also play the role of moderator. After the interventions of the various speakers, the conclusion of the round table will be entrusted to John Bana, the head of the delegation of CIC Italy. The French language of the speakers will be translated simultaneously by the same moderator. Hunting communication is a topical issue like never before, an issue that also held sway last year, as evidenced by the title of the round table of the fourth Provincial Review of hunting wildlife management held in Clusone (Bergamo) in 2015.
In that case there was talk of hunting communication and the image of the hunter, with the aim of finding new outlets, imposed by a public opinion that is not in favor of hunting (despite the decline of Italians against it, as underlined by the Eurispes Report of 2016). The heart of these discussions often refers to the need to make it clear to the outside that hunters are respectful of nature and that they act not only to collect but also to build, through restocking plans, wildlife studies and censuses.
