Hunting: Rome, ATC RM1, Forestry Corps and the Province reiterate that the felling card does not constitute a qualifying title.
"The card issued by the Management Committee of theATC RM1 does not constitute a qualifying title for the exercise of hunting and therefore its lack cannot be punished in any way ": to write it, on the headed paper of the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Forestry Policies, is Carlo Costantini, Provincial Commander of Rome of State Forestry Corps, following the official communication received from the Province of Rome. The letter was sent to the provincial federation of the Arci Hunting who had asked the competent authorities for clarification after ATC RM1 and its president Leandro Calzetta had reiterated that the supplementary “killing card”, prepared by the same Atc, was to be considered an “authorization for hunting”.
“It would be too easy to say that we had said it and that we had written it - declared Andrea Severi, president of Arci Hunt of Rome and its province - we are interested instead, as it happened, to have reaffirmed the certainty of the law for thousands of hunters who had to undergo the decision close to mid-August, which the president of the ATC Leandro Calzetta had announced to the few close friends present at Rome, of the institution of the killing card improvisedly cataloged as an authorization document ".
"We also took the liberty of verbally asking the president Calzetta to modify the decision - continues Andrea Severi - as it is not supported by the legislation and the law in force, also to avoid administrative consequences, as has already happened, to hunters who were unaware of the provision and were recorded. by the hunting guards ".
“Now clarity has been made and we formally invite President Calzetta to update the site and to issue new provisions on the matter. This story represents a sensational own goal and, moreover, for the hunters and for the ATC it also represented a waste of additional resources without considering the uselessness of the instrument too similar to the official card to perform the task of census of the fauna. The money of the hunters and the ATC are spent for more noble reasons, starting with a concrete management of the fauna and the environment "
