Hunting: Salerno, Parco del Cilento, Lipu asks the minister of agricultural policies for clarification on the amendment to law 157/92, after the declarations of the Hon. Catanoso.
The laws on hunting and therefore on the protection of wild animals could change, a topic particularly felt within the Cilento, Vallo di Diano and Alburni National Park. "There is something really superficial, not to say illogical, in the idea of modifying the law 157/92 on the protection of fauna in a hunting key, and it becomes even more serious if the proposed modification comes from the institutions". This is what Lipu-BirdLife Italia declares having learned from press release from the Honorable Basilio Catanoso, of the draft proposal to amend law 157 on the protection of fauna and the discipline of hunting that the Ministry of Agricultural Policies would have prepared, to be transmitted to the Conference of the Regions.
“The past years - continues the Lipu - are a long sequence of defeats and even bad figures for those who have tried to loosen the pro-hunting restrictions for wild animals. The Honorable Onnis failed, the then Minister Alemanno failed, Senator Orsi failed and with him all the blitzes attempted here and there by the parliamentary friends of the shotguns ”. “Many blows should teach that that road is impracticable - explains Lipu -. In truth, everyone has understood it, although some pretend not to have understood it and indulge in mere propaganda actions, which today more than ever, in a country in difficulty also in terms of social cohesion, represent gestures of grave, very serious irresponsibility ”.
"Minister Di Girolamo does not waste a single moment in denying the draft of his offices - concludes the Lipu - and rather takes all the information on the state of our country in terms of hunting: convictions by the European Court of Justice, illegal exceptions, live recalls , killing of species in difficulty, hunting outside the allowed time, poaching still widespread. We are sure that, at that point, the minister's initiatives will be of a very different sign ”.
