Hunting and Hunters. From Federfauna, Dr. Dino Bragiato, veterinarian and hunter, expresses his indignation on the question of his colleague Ponzetto: “Excellent !! I see with much (dis) pleasure that the seed that falls in good soil bears fruit and the same happens if it falls into ... manure.
How to call, if not with this term, the plethora of insults and threats that have submerged the Turin colleague Luciano Ponzetto just for his vanity to post his photos next to some animals he legally killed. Silly vanity, in my opinion, but LEGAL, as LEGAL were those knockdowns.
The so-called big game, that is the hunting of large mammals, is practiced all over the world and is strictly regulated by all governments, with culling plans that take into account the reproductive periods and the possibility of the territory to optimally feed the wild populations. It is therefore an activity that is not only legal, but which contributes to the conservation of the species being managed, in a concrete way, not in words.
Another argument, a bit thorny, is the… price that the slaughtering of these animals has. Unfortunately, money moves the world and all governments have discovered that some animals, so-called trophy animals, have a considerable economic value. An antelope or buffalo killed by a native can feed his family to the maximum; legally killed by a tourist hunter, they carry considerable amounts of valuable currency that feeds entire villages. But the point now is another: hunting, like the Vet, helps to save animals!
Whatever animal activists say, hunting preserves wild animals from extinction, even in heavily man-made territories. The decrease and also the disappearance of predatory carnivores, for example, requires the numerical control of wild herbivores precisely to protect their health: if present in excessive numbers in a given territory, they would be the first to suffer from it. Other systems do not exist.
So I say in no uncertain terms to the "colleagues" who have clamored for the radiation of Dr. Ponzetto as a hunter, to be ashamed of them, and to think rather of all the times that out of laziness or carelessness they have misdiagnosed or exaggerated the severity of a disease only for profit. Or worse, when they thought of riding a dangerous ideology such as animal rights, perhaps thinking of making a profit, only to end up, always, to be thrown off, with consequent damage for themselves and for the whole category. Those would be radiation faults!
Please do not follow the path traced by those idiots of "animal rights" who in their delusions continue to proclaim that "the only good hunter is the dead hunter" or praise "human extinction". True animal lovers love nature in all its manifestations, including human beings, and hate no one, even those who don't think like them.
