A contained joy
Mr Barbara Mazzali, regional councilor of the Lombardia (Brothers of Italy), she returned to talk from her social profiles after the start of the hunting season 2022-2023: “Dear friends, the hunting season has begun, but we know that we cannot fully enjoy it. We are all aware of the ruling of the Tar which suspended the hunting from stalking from 18 September to 1 October, but I would like to say a word more about the role of the Lombardy Region. Could he do something? The TAR did not even read the supporting reasons, which were broad and valid. Not only that: the TAR also goes against the logic of Key concepts, because it allows the hunting of the partridge, during the reproduction period according to the Key concepts, and uses the overlapping decade in an evident way on the pheasant. We are facing an ordinance that has not taken into account the efforts made by the Region.
The choices of the other TARs
Indeed, it has made sure that now all those who have chosen the type C hunting form can all go to the sedentary with an increase in hunting pressure on these species. Absurd choices or persistence or lack of understanding. I do not know. However, I know that other TARs have veered in opposite directions: in the Marche and Sicily the general opening on 18 September has not been suspended and in Emilia Romagna and Tuscany has not been challenged. Faced with this confusion, it is also difficult for the Region to find the key to the problem.
The mistake that was made
Perhaps the mistake was precisely that of thinking with a logical thread that then did not exist. The TAR Emilia-Romagna for example, he rejected the appeal on the calendar which concerned the closures of the seasons, and the cesena hunt was kept on January 31st and so did all the aquatic animals except the teal. The TARs of Veneto, Marche and Liguria have proved the environmentalists wrong on the hunting of the tufted duck, as well as the fighter in Tuscany and in the Marches. It is difficult to work in this continuous change of opinion and in this lack of homogeneity ”.
