Hunting: Venatory Syndicate on the "indifferent and populist" survey on hunting proposed by the newspaper "Libero"; counter-proposal, “let's never buy it again”.
It is well known that the outcome of the polls is conditioned by how the questions are presented, even more so if the theme is hunting. It is always known that if the reasons for the survey are not fully explained, and therefore the questions become generic and indifferent, not that rhetorical questions, the result is: conditioned, distorted, obvious and one-sided. I am surprised that an esteemed professional like Maurizio Belpietro may have hosted a similar survey in the newspaper he directs, even if it is not surprising, given the animal rights drift taken by the Leader of Forza Italia who, satellite newspapers, can try their hand at such enterprise, trying to influence public opinion. Yet Belpietro is Bresciano and should have the hunting passion of his land and its people in his DNA and cultural background. Yet what needs to be done to make ends meet !!!
The response of the hunting world should not be kept waiting, this time it is not a question of protesting with letters to the editor, nor with the editorial staff, it is simply a question of boycotting the “LIBERO” newspaper, not buying it anymore. Also because, as claimed by the great journalist Pansa, who no longer reads newspapers, justifying his choice, due to the fact that, according to the newspaper and the journalist who signs himself, he already imagines the trend and contents. The courtly rule of journalism is constantly violated especially when it comes to hunting and hunters, as the serious journalist must tell the facts for what they are and not condition their audience which is: big, vaccinated and intelligent, so much so as to be able to form your opinion without being piloted.
I conclude by recognizing the legendary animal rights director of LIBERO, Vittorio Feltri from Bergamo, who recently in an article on "il Giornale", headlined: "As an animal activist I do not shoot hunters". The difference between Feltri and Belpietro, in my opinion, derives from the fact that Feltri is now in a privileged position that allows him to say what he wants, how he wants, and when he wants, while the loyal Belpietro, like they say in Naples: “I keep my family”, Belpietro, keeps a family, and having to get by, probably tries not to offend the sensibility of the Chief, and of the strong powers, such as the green, animal-environmentalist lobby.
Going forward like this, the next poll he will do will certainly be the libertarian struggle led by Vladimiro Guadagno, better known as Vladimir Luxuria ... hunters democratically show your dissent, do as is customary in Anglo-Saxon countries and in the United States of America, boycotting this newspaper , simply by not purchasing it anymore, and if you have a subscription in progress, do not renew it. As far as I am concerned, I, who was an assiduous, daily and faithful reader, will never buy it again from tomorrow.
