Hunting. An unnerving wait
Yesterday, Thursday 8 September, the LAC appeal against the Lombard calendar. The decision could come already today, but it could also be postponed to next week. The animal rights association has essentially re-proposed two themes: drought and daily and seasonal game bags, defined as abnormal. Frankly, we did not believe our ears: after the LAC had already renounced the decision on drought, defining itself satisfied with the response (not even a provision, a mere response of institutional courtesy) with which the Region explained that there was no risk to the game, attacked the calendar saying that the real problem was the drought, which had brought the fauna to its knees!
The shortcomings of the LAC
But what does drought have to do with the legitimacy of a calendar that must be approved in June ?! But most of all: in one appeal he waives and in the other does he insist on the same theme? Obviously the LAC has not even produced proof that even a single snail has died, but its strategy is always to move the judges to compassion, often the mirror of a society that does not like hunting. As for the game bags, anyone would have been furious: you cannot hear that from opening to closing every hunter reaches the maximum of game bags every day and that the data on the cards are all fake.
Poor knowledge of the subject
But as we explained to the Judges, ISPRA considers these data to be correct and reliable and such as to justify the game bags provided for in the calendar. And, moreover, they are quite similar to those that the same LAC in Emilia has not even challenged! We reiterated the legitimacy of the opening as planned, and other issues were touched upon and reiterated with which the Regional Advocacy and the lawyers of the associations Federcaccia and Enalcaccia, Anuu, Liberacaccia in their memoirs had already largely denied the nonsense told by the LAC. But reason, law and logic are not always enough when it comes to times and species that can be hunted, those who know nothing about hunting. We just have to wait for the decision, hoping for the attention and impartiality of the judges, who we trust will not have been distracted by the heartfelt appeals of the LAC, which has come to tell of poor thirsty wild boars forced to leave the woods to take refuge in the cities in search of water. and food, now completely disappeared from the woods.
Hunters. What to expect
One thing is certain: this year the calendar was approved in time and the Region has practically adhered to all the requirements of theISPRA, except for minimal and extensively motivated deviations: if the appeal of the LAC is accepted, even if only in part, it will not be for legal reasons, but solely because the lies and lies of the LAC will have found unjustified credit. And if things go wrong, we want to believe that the Region will be ready to take an urgent measure to allow the opening (Federcaccia Lombardy).
