Hunting: Umbria, Club Le Torri, “Let's save spontaneous quality”, the hunter as a vital subject for the ecosystem and for the balance of fauna.
It is our firm will to free "the hunter" as a vital subject for the ecosystem and for the balance of fauna, even more so than the same synthesis on the opening of the 2014 hunting season in Umbria and on the consequent glimpse of activities practiced up to now. In the XNUMXs, Raquel Carson wrote a book called "Silent Springs": in fact it absolved the hunting accused and literally denounced the speculations on the territory and its improper use. Because the "fires" of waste began to burn, to ferment landfills with billions of cubic meters of biogas free to compromise ozone, to die of tumors in factories, even in Umbria, to depress biodiversity due to the many poisons dispersed in the streams, in the countryside and even in city gardens.
It is true, the Italy of the ecology of the "greens" floats on the bankruptcy of common sense. The Italy of the brainless untouchability floats on the disasters caused by neglect. The Italy of sectarian animalism fills its pockets by speculating on kennels. The Italy of the "social function" spends less on a child in kindergartens (less than one € uro per day) while for a dog in kennels about 3,50 € uro are wasted every day. Consequently, the testimony of some hunters is emblematic where in abandoned agricultural areas the reproduction of huntable game (see pheasants, partridges, hares, partridges, but above all quail) has manifested itself in large numbers and with copious game bags.
But what and how many were the results of the first days of hunting in Umbria? Also in this case it is worth pointing out that in our region there have been some “happy oases”, but for the rest of the agro-forestry was arid in reproduction and even more so in the game boxes.
Yet we had "sown" in restocking, spent over three million € uro through the ATC, attempted to undermine the political debacle, but in fact over 300.000 wild animals, as usual, will be missing. substance, even more to enhance the biological quality far from the abuse of antibiotics, is an intrinsic venial value that exceeds seven million € uro. Basically a net domestic product (PIN) that would have enriched our region.
