Hunting: Marco Bassolini, national head of hunting for the Northern League, commented critically on the hunting Capanni question, “Another attack on hunting. This government's sole objective: To attack the foundations of our huts to destroy ours Passion!!! ".
Yet another attack on rurality and the legitimate development of a cultural activity that is historical as well as identifying and traditional as the Hunting to the migratory stalking by those who, for animal-moralistic idealism with ignorance, allow themselves to judge and try to hinder at every opportunity by legislating restrictions without thinking or knowing the damage they are doing to society and the environment. When the temporary construction of a hunting lodge for some senators of PD-SEL-FI-M5S is seen as the main problem of environmental disfigurement, it is normal to advise these senators to return to earth, open their eyes and perhaps invite them to do a picnic in the land of fires. Do not recognize that where there is the presence of fixed stalks, a better quality of the habitats is ascertained and do not admit that all this is thanks to the free work of hunters who, for their passion and hunting interest they feed on, are fully configured title as a tool for environmental conservation is just ignoring reality. The hunters from fixed posting they are directly involved in the management of the environments, with a result of benefit for the community therefore it follows that any intervention that penalizes the hunting activity rooted in the territory, would result in an abandonment of maintenance and conservation activities, thus losing the benefit.
Having said this and considering that annually for a temporary authorization that legitimizes the construction of a fixed hunting post, a regional concession fee is paid, that the materials to be used for the construction of the fixed huts and the dimensions are already well regulated in the regional laws, provincial and local regulations that actually enter into the merits and in consideration of the morphology of the territories and the use, inappropriate and highly penalizing would be to insert a restriction entering into purely urban planning merits without considering the state of fact of the places and above all the role that hunters play in protecting the environment.
It is clear that no one pretends to build impacting structures that are in contrast with the landscape context of the places, but it is equally true that a generic national standard cannot be accepted which, not taking into account the real environmental impact due to the different morphology of the places, jeopardizes thousands of ambushes. that for decades, even if larger than 6 square meters and consciously built with environmentally friendly materials and well camouflaged and integrated into the environment, would risk unjustified administrative and criminal sanctions and consequently demolition.
Unfortunately, once again in the dossier of the sub-amendments of the environmental associate, where the rapporteur of the PD Senator Vaccari proposes restrictive changes to law 157/92 regarding the realization of hunting stalks, the Northern League with Senator Paolo Arrigoni, is the 'only party that has presented amendments in defense of hunting, but this apart from the disappointment of seeing us once again alone will certainly not stop us from making our reasons heard both in committee and in the classroom.
Our simple and shareable request is simply limited to asking the local administrators to be responsible for assessing the environmental impact conditions of the post by examining the state of affairs of the places and above all the usefulness of the "Shed" structure, also taking note of the role social and free that hunters play throughout the year in terms of environmental protection.
