Rome, April 29, 2020 - While the country is preparing for a gradual resumption of production activities, even the hunting world represented by the Recognized Associations (Italian Federation of Hunting, National Free Hunting Association, Enalcaccia, Arcicaccia, ANUUMigratoristi, Italcaccia, Ente Produttori Game) and by the CNCN- National Hunting and Nature Committee, is engaged in an intense activity in support of the sector, acting as an authoritative interlocutor towards the Government and the Regions.
Among the many initiatives, the control room of the hunting world asked the Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte to meet directly with him on the critical issues that have affected the sector represented, and even more on the possibilities of concretely contributing to the relaunch of an activity that it is an important part of the Italian rural, artisanal, industrial and commercial socio-economic fabric. On the occasion, the important contribution that the sector has offered in dealing with the emergency was underlined, through all the voluntary activities and support to the communities in the area and the huge economic contributions destined above all to health.
The control room then turned to the Presidents of the Regions and Autonomous Provinces to urge the urgent resumption of wildlife containment and control interventions in order to avoid further serious damage to agricultural production, alongside the regular opening of the selection hunting season. . Moreover, both activities are carried out individually and therefore fully fall within the protocols dictated by the Government for outdoor activities.
In the same way, the reopening of the various dog training and training areas was requested, with the possibility of carrying out sports or motor activities outdoors in single form, as already established by some Regions, allowing owners and trainers to move to the inside their region of residence to carry out all those activities essential to animal welfare put at risk by the lack of the necessary motor activities.
The dialogue with the institutions, promptly activated by many parties, is in progress daily to ensure the drafting and approval of the Hunting Calendars for the next season, thus giving legal certainty and guarantees for the continuation of the hunting activity to all practitioners. .
