The faults of an environmentalism that fights the hunting practice and ignores the real dangers. The hunters true sentinels of nature.
The drama that is unfolding hundreds of kilometers long, from the Lambro to the Po and that starts in a macabre and black march of ten million liters of oil towards the Adriatic shows that the massacre does not come from hunting. It confirms the accusations of the hunting organizations, the complaints of hunters and volunteer guards, casts a dark shadow on an environmentalism that too often flies on flags granted as ecological licenses to seaside municipalities but forgets the bombs set off along the banks of the rivers.
Hundreds of thousands of birds have already died and just as many will soon be in a slow agony that is becoming the litmus test of an environmentalism that feeds on words and makes anti-hunting its macabre doctrine. The tide that falls towards the Po ', which is about to conquer other waterways with its death trail, demonstrates how harmful the polemics against hunters and against planned hunting have been harmful to the environment. While the wild continue to die and the fish and all the other water and coastal fauna have already been exterminated, the culprits will continue to be sought in a sort of escalation of words that never have an identity, name and surname. environmentalists and the Lombardy Region issue documents that appear to be written with the same hand: they say of environmental disaster. And it will be the whole Community to pay once again. But Environmentalists and the Lombardy Region do not say the names of those who had to intervene and did not do it, what precautions should have been taken and are not implemented.Lambardo environmentalism has always looked to hunting as the only target and today along the courses of rivers there are the voluntary guards of the Federation and other associations trying to save some ducks, the few waders who have not been poisoned or entangled in the oil slime. There are hunters who see the rubble of a heritage that they have protected and to which they had entrusted their hopes, which is dissolving into so many useless and miserable crosses of feathers. Lombardy through the FIdC regional president Mauro Cavallari had already invited the Region to tackle the problem in an organic way. It was replied that a plan was being made. A statement that arrives punctually every time like a Cassandra of the environment. The drama that is taking place - and the Milan-Monza and Brianza section of the Federcaccia is examining the possibility of becoming a civil party - demonstrates how true the words of Giagiacomo Schiavi in Corriere della Sera are "It is a not very noble story of Lombard shame del Lambro ".
