In particular, the issue that has sparked the indignation of animal rights activists concerns the initiative of the tourist association of Tesido and the Guggenberg ski lift which by organizing a lottery have put a particular fourth prize among the prizes up for grabs: the possibility of killing a deer in the reserve. pusterese.
Among the participants in the event could not miss the MEP and president of the LAC, Andrea Zanoni, who announced that the matter will be the subject of a complaint to the judiciary and the European Commission.
Zanoni's attack is hard and he states “What happened in Tesido is unbelievable and is prohibited by law. The deer falls into the category of wildlife, it is a heritage of nature: the killing of a head cannot possibly be the prize of a lottery ”. Tesido's case was the classic straw that unleashed the anger of the 300 animal rights activists who protested against the administrative policy of the Province of Bolzano which, according to them, “has the trigger too easy. See marmots and chamois ”.
In particular, animal rights activists especially contest the game-forest strategic document, signed last October 25 by the Forests division, hunters 'association and farmers' union, containing the new hunting regulations in provincial reserves which in fact would allow hunting deer with fixed stalking techniques. on the tower and also the killing of female specimens in the gestation phase.
Another attack comes from Richard Steinmann of Lac, "Hunting itself is a medieval practice but having the ability to shoot in the herd, or to kill a pregnant doe is utter barbarism."
The animal rights protest started from the square where the Province is based and then moved to the city center between whistles, insults and the classic banners on the animal rights and anti-hunt theme as well as against any activity that involves the use or killing of animals, not failing to take it out on unsuspecting old ladies in fur. According to Ester Valgzolgher, of the anti-vivisection league of Bolzano, “This province is regressing towards anachronistic cultural forms we are governed by a hunter who shows no respect towards those who think differently from him”.
Valgzolgher continues on the issue, underlining that in the formation of the commission to define the provincial regulations on forests and game in the territory "No representative of the environmental and animal rights movements has ever been present or was heard at the time of making a decision with this protest, we want demonstrate that we exist, that we will not stand still and silent waiting for the situation to get even worse ”.
