Legal certainty
The regional council of Florence has just concluded Federcaccia Toscana-UCT. In this first session, following the opening of the new hunting season, numerous topics were discussed by the Regional President Marco Salvadori. At the national level, a close discussion with the government is continuing in order to establish through legislation the certainty of the law on hunting calendars, today more than ever the object of repeated appeals and suspensions, the result of premeditated attacks by the animal rights world.
The situation in Tuscany
It is therefore necessary to pass a legislative act as soon as possible by the national government, which sets limits and certainties to the litigation, which today is creating an unsustainable situation in many regional realities. Even the Tuscan hunting calendar, albeit for a particular aspect, has been the subject of an appeal in recent days focused on the hunting of the partridge species, on which Federcaccia Nazionale - together with the Tuscany Region - has already constituted itself in defense in the appropriate venues. Among the additional aspects discussed, the issue relating to the fight against PSA also emerged and above all on the future management strategies of the emergency, on which distortions and profound delays are recorded. Without prejudice to the full responsibility of the hunting world and of the ATCs to play their part, the need to impose a decisive change of pace with regard to the management of the protected areas, the actions of defense of the livestock heritage also in preventive terms, moving away from the logic of depopulation alone as the only recipe for the solution of a very complex problem.
National conference in Massa
In this regard, on October 4th, Federcaccia Toscana-UCT in collaboration with Federcaccia Nazionale, has already scheduled a national conference in the province of Massa and Carrara, in which the knots of this important issue will be addressed in the presence - among the various institutional representatives, local authorities and hunters of the territory - of the Extraordinary Commissioner for Swine Fever Dr. Giovanni Filippini, the Undersecretary of MASAF Sen. Patrizio Giacomo La Pietra and the Vice President of the Regional Council of Tuscany Stefania Saccardi. The works will be opened by Massimo Buconi National President of Federcaccia, while the closing speech will be entrusted to the National Vice President Marco Salvadori.
Themes of legality
Of particular relevance among the topics discussed in the council, also the recent agreement signed with the Agricultural Society of Suvignano in the province of Siena for the management of the Agritourism Hunting Company. A reality with high symbolic value and strongly linked to the issues of legality, which will see the Regional Association engaged, in collaboration with the Provincial Section of Siena and the various local branches, to implement initiatives of a cultural, technical scientific, educational and informative nature ensuring a conservative management of the wildlife heritage. The conservation of biodiversity, environmental education and the numerous projects that look to society (youth, schools, etc.), will be at the center of the commitment of this new qualifying project (source: FIDC).
