Caccia: Italy is on a par with the other countries of the European Union thanks to the approval of the amendments by Sen. Santini.
The approval of the amendment by sen. Santini to the "Community" law relating to hunting in the European Politics Commission brings Italy back to the same level as other European countries, in which the hunting world is not subject to the emotional attacks of the environmentalists of the 'NO a priori' but is the subject of a scientific discussion . The amendment under discussion - also signed by UDC, Lega Nord and voted in a bipartisan manner - was accused of giving hunters the opportunity to shoot all year round; in reality, the same makes it possible to modify the hunting calendars only in the terms and within the limits of European law, which gives priority to a scientific ecological criterion of the environment (different periods of migration of the different species) to the detriment of the bureaucratic one (fixed calendar ).
This would therefore go to better protect the species of birds because the collection activity would respect their specific life cycles, without, however, going to modify the hunting periods by liberalizing them completely. These possibilities of modification to the hunting calendars fall within the dictates of the "Guide to the discipline of hunting within the framework of directive 79/409 / eec on the conservation of wild birds"Prepared by the European Commission after green light for the hunting world through FACE (Federation of Hunting and Wildlife Conservation Associations) and with the sharing of the most advanced animal rights world through BIRDLIFE International, represented in Italy by Lipu and present in more than 100 countries around the world.
Adapting Italian legislation to European legislation is anything but a blitz: it is a requirement of our legal system and that of all EU members.
Sorry to read once again so many insults to the hunting world, only in Italy there are so many associations that propose to 'abolish' hunting without thinking about why it is respected and taken into consideration in other countries, starting with neighboring France. its important role in the management of the fauna and the territory. Serious and knowledgeable environmentalists should not ally themselves with those who use insult and incitement to hatred. In the diffused note, reference is made to a assault on nature and on Italian citizens, statements that only aim to spread terror among the population. Terror and hatred, put together, can have effects that are not perfectly controllable as unfortunately we had to see just yesterday reading a blog in which we rejoice at the death of a hunter *.
Our proposal is to tone down and civilly discuss a democratic procedure that refers to European regulations that are based on scientific studies shared, internationally, by both the hunting and environmental world.
