Hunting Calendars 2011-2012: The theme of hunting does not seem to find peace in our country.
As soon as the work of the National Hunting Table, established and coordinated by delegation of the other Regions by the Councilor Stefàno, of the Puglia Region, with the participation of agricultural, hunting, environmentalist and animal welfare associations, surprisingly, the hunting associations adhering to FACE ( ANLC, ANUUMigratoristi, Enalcaccia and FIDC) wrote a letter to Councilor Stefàno, distancing themselves from the painstakingly and responsibly reached agreement, the result of a long and fruitful work of mediation between the various participants which should finally put an end to the legal disputes that characterized the last hunting season and that affected many Regions.
The reaction of the environmental and animal welfare associations that issued a press release with which they blame this behavior was immediate.
Coldiretti's hope is that the agreement is in any case safe and that the problem of damage from wildlife will finally be discussed within the national table, because the agricultural world has every right to see finally addressed, in a competent institutional seat, a long-standing problem which also has high costs in economic terms for agricultural businesses and the community.
