Hunting: Viterbo, “The hunters of Tuscia” gathered “We will assert our rights, they will respect our passion. Together we can do it ”.
The second meeting of Tuscia hunters was held with great participation at the Salamaro soccer fields, organized by the hunters themselves. On the afternoon of last Saturday, April 5, more than 250 people gave life to a spontaneous movement, without superior influences, aimed at protecting the interests and rights of hunters as well as their traditions, which could allow them to practice their hunting passion. . The promoters of the meeting commented on the meeting, “We were expecting some contact from the associations but they didn't consider us anyone, they are not giving us credit but we will proceed on our way. We want to bring together the whole province of Viterbo, all the countries and we will fight so that the number of members allows us to have an important weight ”.
On the movement, the organizers then explained that "The hunters of Tuscia" have no ulterior motives aimed at settling friends of friends, "None of this, there must be no particular interests, no one has to give anything, it's just a way to get us all together under a single bell, when we present ourselves at the offices in charge they will have to respect us, open the doors, we will assert our rights, we will go hunting in peace. The project is starting to interest even the 'upper floors', there are people who said they were available without asking for something in return, they are ready to provide us with all the necessary documentation, to respond to our requests ”.
The hunters' movement has set two priorities: first of all to settle the situation in the Region, among the various Provinces, in order to reach the approval of the new Wildlife Hunting Plan, after which a study process can be started aimed at understanding what can be done to protect the interests and rights of hunters; second priority of the movement is to reach a situation in which the hunting passion is respected by all. In fact, the organizers stated, “We have already hit rock bottom, we can't go any further, the conditions are all there. We do not promise you unthinkable things, it is a process that has to be started and will take several years to complete, but we will be able to make it clear to those in charge that we are tired, we want the right weight, the right word, they will feel our presence, for this we must be in many remaining united, trying to strengthen ourselves ".
The hunters of Tuscia, like many other hunters throughout Italy, say they are tired of the work of the various nationally recognized Hunting Associations which, however, do nothing but fight each other instead of making a serious commitment to solve the many problems that torment the hunting world. "The discontent that for years has been spreading among those who love this passion due to the continuous attacks by animal rights activists and some politicians, which is supported by the lack of support from existing associations, increasingly committed to making ends meet than to fighting too many enemies of hunting, is now widespread. The intent is to restore the right dignity to the category, defending its interests ".
“Maximum respect for legality, for everyone - the organizers said again -. This will be the backbone of our association, we must be able to look each other in the face, together. An email will be active from Monday. We have a hunter attorney who follows us and will provide legal support. We are also working on the insurance issue to have a good, new product that offers something more at a competitive price. It will all be clear, transparent. Now we will also make a logo, we will try to make sure that every single hunter has constant feedback. We also had a pleasant meeting with Coldiretti, they gave us complete availability and support, without asking for anything ”.
After the experience of the past seasons, it is feared yet another recourse to the TAR that could block everything once the Hunting Season has already begun; the hunters then concluded by expressing their intentions, “We want to talk about the new wildlife plan under development which wants to prohibit further areas for hunters, without taking into account those existing and not used for their purpose. We want to talk about the suspended regional hunting calendar for which no one, and we repeat no one, has done anything concrete ". The road is arduous and uphill, but "The hunters of Tuscia" have clear ideas: "Together we can do it!".
