Are approximately 4 thousand hunters who took part in the demonstration organized in Turin this morning to protest against the Piedmont region and recent legislative choices. Participants shouted the word "dignity" loudly, also using flags and trumpets, filling Via Po from Piazza Vittorio to Piazza Castello. The hunting associations present were those that in recent days have given their adhesion to the event and in the Piedmontese capital have also arrived hunters from other regions.
The demonstration then continued up to the Palazzo della Regione. A delegation was welcomed by the governor Sergio Chiamparino and the regional councilor for agriculture, Giorgio Ferrero. The new law that is causing a lot of discussion and it should be approved next week. The two elements that are triggering a furious controversy are the hunting ban on 15 species (hitherto huntable) and the ban on hunting on Sundays.
Among the demonstrators there were also some politicians, including Riccardo Molinari (secretary and parliamentary of the League), Gianluca Vignale (Sovereign Movement) and Carlo Fidanza (Brothers of Italy). The police are forced to confine some animal rights activists (just over twenty to be precise) who welcomed the hunters with very heavy insults in Piazza Castello.
