Hunting and Regulations: introduction of the crime of "Theft of hunting", rejected the amendment of the M5S for the modification of law 157/92.
A note from the 5 Star Movement reads: “To definitively clarify the discipline of“ hunting theft ”so that even the so-called“ poachers with a regular hunting license ”are punished as provided for by the criminal code for theft of the state assets. This is what we asked yesterday in the Chamber through an amendment to the provision that introduces the crime of environmental pollution into the criminal code, which proposed an amendment to Law 157 of 1992 in the part in which (Article 30) limits the application only to unlicensed poachers. of articles 624, 625 and 626 of the criminal code (crimes against property) ". “But the Government has rejected our proposal without appeal, demonstrating once again - the new Minister has not strayed from previous traditions - insensitivity and superficiality towards wildlife. Yet the Italian law protects the fauna and defines it as an unavailable heritage of the state. So why do we not want to implement any concrete action that can strictly define the criteria for the protection of wild animals? Illegal and poaching hunting, often practiced even by those with a regular license, kills hundreds of victims every day among migratory birds and wild specimens, compromising the environment and biodiversity in a significant and increasingly dangerous way ".
“Protecting wildlife therefore means protecting the land we live in and for this reason we believe that any behavior aimed at damaging it must be pursued with all the means that the legislation allows us. This is why our work will continue with conviction in this direction ”.
