Hunting and live calls in the Senate, "the opportunity to start the truth operation on Italian animal rights extremism".
The Chamber of Deputies on 11 June had already updated the legislation on recalls, better than some in force in other European countries. The text, which was voted by a large majority, provided for the possibility of using rigorous exceptions and the use of specific selective “nets” that are not harmful to animal welfare, so much so that they are used by ornithologists all over the world.
Hunting with nets, quite different from the topic in question, is an activity that has already been banned for years in Italy, thanks to the agreement reached with the agreement between environmentalists, farmers and hunters in the drafting of the rules. This is not the case in other countries. The Italian hunters have already urged the institutions to collect the information - objective and substantive ones - useful for overcoming the "infringement procedures".
We are tired, however, and the Italians are, of ideological forcing, of instrumental interference and also of the "double weighting" thanks to which the connivance of interests between managers, commissioners and officials of animal welfare associations is aimed at "persecuting" the culture Italian hunting. Thus, for example, we are silent on the modalities, the times, the species offered to hunters from other countries, even if much less exemplary. Who benefits?
In recent days a spontaneous mobilization of citizens in the Regions has been activated, carried out without the help of newspapers and "state radio", always at the service instead of the journalist on duty, known anti-hunt "crusade", who thanks to her privileges can afford to give "moron" to politicians who do not think like you. Is this objectivity? Or is it rather another example of the fundamentalist animal rights lobby, which can afford organizations equipped for the "bombing" and the multiplication of emails on Parliament?
On the other hand, with us, looking into each other's eyes, "recognizing each other", many people found themselves in our common Assemblies. We do not live distressed by numbers, we have not counted people one by one, but many adhesions have arrived by telephone, on paper, in electronic format, with the writing alongside worker, doctor, lawyer, pensioner, farmer ... To date we estimate over 70.000 adhesions " true ”in the last days alone. Good and ordinary citizens, real men and women who have spoken to each other and who would like to have the pleasure of looking in the eyes of those "senators" who claim the right to criminalize them, to issue ethical sentences and life lessons.
The Italian Hunting Associations hope that this time the Government and Parliament are on the side of the general and real interests of the country, recognizing those of the "facade" of those who, on animalism - burdensome for others - have given themselves the best conditions of own survival. We hope that also in Italy an environmentalism will assert itself that bans extremism and also looks carefully at one's own lifestyle before asking to "execute" those who think differently.
