An intense morning of work characterized yesterday at the national headquarters of Italian Federation of Hunting in Rome, where the Presidency Council met. The president Massimo Buconi punctually opened the proceedings at 10,30, greeting and thanking the participants. Fully present the Bureau, formed by the three vice presidents Giuseppe Giordano, Mauro Cavallari and Moreno Periccioli, and by the directors Mario Basile, Andrea Ferrara, Stefano Merighi, Oscar Stella and Edmondo Vivoli. To complete the table, the president of the Board of Auditors Mario Onano and Natale Tortora.
After an exhaustive report by the national president on the main issues concerning the Federation and the hunting world as a whole, the Presidency Council explored the most important issues, focusing primarily on the various bills on the subject of animal protection scheduled in the Senate Justice Commission starting this week. The risk, concrete and already reported in recent weeks, is that behind shareable rules intended for greater protection of pets and livestock not too veiled attacks on scientific and medical experimentation, hunting activity, demonstrations and economic activities based on breeding, aimed at indiscriminately targeting all the supply chains connected with the use of the same in an antispecist and animal rights point of view.
A danger for the whole society that risks passing without excessive clamor and that even before the hunt would hit hard the economy and traditions of the country. On this the Federcaccia, alone and in concert with the other AAVVs and the CNCN has already been activated and in the next few hours it will act even more incisively to avert this dangerous drift by involving all interested parties and stakeholders. The analysis of other aspects more properly internal to the federal organization, in particular with the short-term planning of a series of initiatives throughout the national territory aimed at making citizens stand out with greater incisiveness what usefully carried out by hunting and hunters in favor of the country, far exceeding the playful aspect perceived by non-practitioners, then profitably occupied the attention of the Council. The works ended in the afternoon giving life to one busy agenda of commitments that will characterize the next weeks of activity.
