Hunting: This hunting season also ends amid controversy and memories. The hunting passion hunting association thanks all members for sharing a year full of emotions and adventure.
It is a script that Italian hunters know well, since it is repeated every year unchanged.
At the close of the hunt, planned for the whole peninsula, with rare exceptions, for January 31, 2011, followed the usual swarm of controversy, where they will soon follow, encounters between hunters and hunting stories waiting for the hunting activity to reopen.
This year inaugurated in early September the exercise of the hunt included some innovations relating to the exercise of the activity during the periods of migration, nesting and reproduction of the wild, regarding the possibility of the regions of postponing the closing of the hunt by 10 days and regarding safety, which, although improved, did not save the lives of the 22 dead (21 hunters and a mushroom hunter) and prevented some Italian hunters from being injured after a day of hunting.
The recorded data reminds professional hunters every year that hunting is a passion that, if not carried out with due caution and precautions, can be dangerous, and will have to encourage each of us to increase the levels of attention every year, in full compliance with the safety rules that every season are well disseminated by all trade associations.
For the controversy against hunting, always revolve around the same statements and i polls that would see the Italians against it have been widely denied, in fact the Italians are not against hunting, although according to those who practice it, it should be carried out in a more sustainable way.
There were still accusations against non-compliance and regional forcing, which according to some have allowed the Regions to circumvent the regulations imposed and that from the opposite side There are worried news about a too low number of wild boars and ungulates for various Italian locations.
The situation would risk creating a new imbalance between animals and farmers with devastating results for agricultural crops.
Instead, we are waiting for the tales of hunters in love with hunting who share memories and experiences in our virtual community, waiting for the new season to open, with the usual understandable euphoria and excitement.
La spring and summer break can also be well exploited to better train your hound, with whom to share collateral experiences of hunting which will strengthen harmony and friendship.
Caccia Passione thanks all the hunters who have shared doubts, experiences, joys and adventures this year with respect for the rules, hunting ethics and animals.
