The Association Wilderness believes that it shares the position of the Veneto regional parliamentarians who are opposing a bill that would allow hunters to access with their off-road vehicles to fixed hunting stalks and / or in any case to hunting places, even on mountain roads that an existing law prevents, except for exceptions for reasons governed by that law, exceptions that exclude hunting.
In practice it asks, in contrast with what the National Union of Municipalities and Mountain Communities wanted delegation of Veneto and Confagricoltura, but also by environmental associations such as Mountain Wilderness and Ecoistituto del Veneto, to "expand the list of possible subjects authorized to transit through the mountain roads" by including hunters. A decision that, if approved, would become discrimination to all other mountain users.
In this regard, the AIW would like to point out that several years ago in the Aosta Valley a law was approved (which is believed to be still in force), which, on the contrary, prohibited (and we hope still prohibits) hunters. from access with motorized vehicles also to the huts owned by them if they go there for hunting. This is also to avoid an unfair favoritism towards those hunters who possessed landed properties such as to justify such a privilege. The AIW believes that this criterion of democratic law should also apply in the case of Veneto, and also in the case of other mountain users. For this reason it shares the opposition to what the Regional Council is preparing to deliberate.
