The sections of Piombino di Libera Caccia, Arci Caccia, Enalcaccia and Federcaccia, issued a joint statement:
“Regarding the online petition launched for the closing of the hunting activity on the promontory of Piombino, as Presidents of all the Hunting Associations of the city, it seems very appropriate to clarify the situation once and for all. By the more avid hunts who write articles pointing to the Piombino hunters of the most trivial and heinous activities, first of all it would be the case, to avoid legal consequences, to prove with documented facts what is stated, because for our part it is no longer bearable to be on the rump certain free charges: The petition article will be subject to an in-depth review by our lawyers.
But what a lot of keyboard lions seem to have not quite figured out yet is that the much-maligned article 842 of the Civil Code which allows holders of Port of Arms to enter the territories of others, unless there are crops in place and are properly tabulated, for use and custom, always, allows all other users of the woods and countryside to freely exercise the same right. And this happens everywhere, in Italy, not just on our promontory. The art. 842 is a conquest of democracy and freedom, otherwise shit said at random, or worse for the interest of a few anti-hunt Taliban. In fact, on the Promontory which is a whole series of private properties, of which only one owner owns about 614 hectares out of a total of about 1000, the Piombinesi, who go hunting there, but also go to mushrooms, asparagus, snails, chestnuts, mountain biking, amateur fishing, lately also a large group of Soft Air (simulated warfare) to simple picnic hikers and tourists in general.
The Promontory is open to anyone who wants to use it: in October and November there is hunting for migratory game. That to ungulates, which is otherwise indispensable the herds of wild boars would destroy all the crops around Piombino Going to root up in Piazza Bovio, it takes place for jokes in well-defined territories until the end of January. In the event that the petition manages to have the result hoped for by those who promote it, the case may occur, and you can be sure that it will go like this, that the private owners close everything with nets and gates and that they make anyone who wants to pass PAY. to carry out all those activities that have always, THANKS TO THE HUNTERS, have practiced and continue to practice. Hand to the wallet, for anything, mushrooms, bicycles, walks etc etc.
If you want it to turn out like this, it is good that the inhabitants of the city sign the online petition immediately. If, on the other hand, you want hunters to continue their hunting activity, but also to control roads and fires, to maintain the paths, to clean the forest from all kinds of atrocities left by everyone, especially by those who criticize the rumbling of a shot given by irreproachable people in all respects, especially the criminal one, otherwise the Police Headquarters does not grant the hunting license, then it will be useful to let go of useless petitions made by small animal rights activists who never show up when there is really something to be done in the real defense of nature ".
