“If there is one thing that, in the middle of the Coronavirus pandemic, the hunting season 2020/21 has clearly highlighted how much the Regions are subject to the claims of hunters and how much they are altogether willing to support them, even putting citizens' health at risk ”. With these words the LAV comments on the hunting season which will close next Sunday. According to Lav, the coronavirus restrictions “have been respected by every category, with the only exception of the hunters.
Most of the Regions - Valle d'Aosta, Piedmont, Lombardy, Veneto, Tuscany, Umbria, Abruzzo, Campania, Molise, Puglia, Calabria, Sardinia - have devised every possible administrative stratagem in order to allow hunters to be able to practice their sanguinary passion, notwithstanding the restrictions imposed on travel. All this despite the clear indications of the Government, also reported on the web page dedicated to the FAQ on the contents of the anti-Covid measures, where it is explicitly stated that the limitations to the mobility of citizens also concern hunters ".
"It is scandalous that most of the Regions, which are the bodies responsible for the health services offered to citizens, have deliberated the free movement of hunters - declares Massimo Vitturi, LAV Manager Wild Animals Area - in full violation of government provisions, thus risking favoring the circulation of the virus Covid-19, thus putting citizens' health at risk ”.
