“A video circulates on WhatsApp in which some hunters of villacidro, easily identifiable and some of which are named, show with evident pride and satisfaction an impressive amount of wood pigeons killed probably in the Nuorese countryside and arranged on a long, squalid table ". This is what was denounced in a note by lipu through the regional coordinator Francesco Guillot.
Based on what was reported by the Italian Bird Protection League, the culled specimens would be 400, a disproportionate number compared to the game bag provided for what is in effect a huntable species. Meanwhile, the video would have already come to the attention of men of the forestry corps.
