Animal welfare activities
It is quite an effect, after years of controversy and hatred towards those considered bad hunters, obviously clichés that have been widely debunked over time by people's real consideration, to watch Report broadcasts instead regarding the equally presumed good activities of animal rights activists, in this case those of Honorable Brambilla. We abstain a priori from holding trials or giving sentences, as we would like to be normal and common for everyone and for all situations. However, as citizens, we can still ask ourselves some questions, if only to avoid being seen as inattentive or, even worse, as accustomed to certainly anomalous behavior.
The interests of ENCI
We wonder what interests the Regional Authorities of Lombardy, Piedmont, Tuscany, Emilia-Romagna, Marche and Abruzzo had, or still have, in sponsoring Brambilla's broadcasts on Mediaset channels with tens of thousands of euros per year. We also wonder what interests the ENCI, the Italian National Kennel Club, had, or still has, in sponsoring the same broadcasts with almost half a million euros, an organization to which hunting dog breeding contributes by paying sums every year for the registration of its assistants in the canine registry, certainly not imagining such a particular use, and certainly questionable for us, of these resources. We wonder if it is normal that resources donated in perfect good faith to the Leidaa Onlus association to assist animals, even bequests, are then used largely for electoral campaigns, hotels, official cars, bottles of champagne, and much more.
Future practices
And perhaps all those honorable members of the Parliamentary Intergroup for Animal Rights and Environmental Protection, chaired by the Honorable Brambilla, who resigned en masse from that Intergroup in recent days, have also started to ask themselves this question. We could rinse our mouths with clichés and pointed fingers, with keyboard justice. Instead, we only have a profound sadness, thinking about how resources that would have really done better for needy animals, in many cases abandoned by humans who are not very humane, have been used for certainly questionable purposes. And we are truly sorry because there is no hunter who does not love and treat well his assistants, his dogs so necessary in hunting actions, and we would like them all to be, without having to put a coat on them, take them under the arm or carry them to bed. We would just like that even those who approach dogs, for example, knew that once purchased perhaps on a whim of their children, these animals become part of their family but also a commitment for their entire life, holidays included. We only hope that these investigations serve as a deterrent for future practices, and that they act as a stimulus to do more, and to do better than what seems to have been done in this case (Cacciapensieri – FIDC Brescia).
