Yet another failure
“The Court has rejected for the umpteenth time the animal-environmentalist appeal on the alleged illegitimacy of the hunting calendar, arguing that the complaint of illegitimacy that has arisen is unfounded as the decree precedes the events of a "state of crisis" and "emergency of regional importance".
The reasons for the appeal
“The appeal of silence on the self-defense request made by the WWF was declared inadmissible for having been presented before the 30-day deadline within which the administration should have responded. The court examined the subsequent reason for the appeal, underlining the importance of congruous and adequate reasons on the part of the Region, especially when it deviates from the non-binding opinion of ISPRA".
Precautionary principle
“Some provisions of the hunting calendar, in particular the early opening of hunting for some species, were instead deemed illegitimate based on the precautionary principle. The provision also addressed the issues raised in the first and second added reasons, rejecting the appeal of some councilor decrees and confirming the legitimacy of some provisions of the calendar, such as the extension of the woodcock harvest until 31 January 2024".
