The new hunting law under discussion in the Campania Region creates dissent from environmentalists who are protesting with the governor Caldoro.
The Campania Region is evaluating the proposal for the new law on hunting, which has reached the eighth Regional Commission which provides for the exercise of hunting activities in all months of the year; the environmentalists' protest response is obvious and immediate.
Such a proposal could only trigger the reaction of the environmentalists headed by Maurizio Fraissinet, biologist, vice president of Federparchi, former president of the Vesuvius National Park as well as a member of the National Council of WWF Italy, of the Scientific Committee of Legambiente and collaborator of LIPU.
According to Fraissinet it is “a scandalous bill. Some articles, in fact, open the hunt in all months of the year. I studied it and also produced some amendments, hoping that some regional councilor could present them ”.
Furthermore, Fraissinet invites all animal rights activists and those who care about the defense of the nature of avifauna to send an email to the president of the Region Stefano Caldoro, and to the president of the eighth council commission.
In fact, concluding Frassinet affirms “Silence is the best ally of those who want to pass the law and the time to protest is running out because the hunters, fearing the indignation and the reaction of the anti-huntsmen, want to close within the next week”.
As stated in a draft of the text that Frassinet wants to send to the Campania Region to request the suspension of the examination by the council commission of the proposed wildlife - hunting law: "A bill that has nothing of wildlife and that seems to be only projected towards a lightening of the restrictions for the protection of wildlife provided for by national and regional legislation currently in force. A law which, frankly, the need was not felt at all, given the current norm perfectly calibrated and in itself quite permissive towards hunting in a Region in which, as is known to all, the will of the overwhelming majority of the population is to ban this now obsolete and harmful activity".
