THEISPRA (Higher Institute for Environmental Protection and Research) responded negatively to the request of the Lombardy Region regarding the exceptions to brambling and starling hunting. It is not the first that this situation occurs, indeed it is becoming almost a "habit". Why has the institute said no for the umpteenth time? There would be no data to justify the hunting derogation we are talking about, but in this way it has been implicitly admitted that there are no means to quantify the birds that can be collected based on guidelines of the European Union.
According to Brescia section of the Italian Federation of Hunting, the only road that Lombardy can take is that of the administrative act, a resolution which - according to what was made known by the association - will certainly be challenged by the animal rights acronyms.
Despite this certainty, however, the Region would still have a appeal to the Constitutional Court of Strasbourg and at that point the opinion (whether positive or negative) would become definitive and without appeal. In a nutshell, you try everything out, even at the cost of yet another disappointment, that it would also be the latest in this intricate story. Surely the response of the ISPRA of these hours is not yet the final act.
