Let's look specifically at the rulings of the Constitutional Court filed on December 27, which rejected in two points out of three the appeal for unconstitutionality brought by the Italian government against the simplification of legislation on hunting proposed by the Lombardy Region. The Court rejected the request for unconstitutionality regarding the rules introduced by the Lombardy Regional Council, the first one on the measurement of the distances of fixed hunting stalks from civilian homes which from now on will take into account the morphological profile of the land and that on the recovery of the injured fauna, which can take place within 200 meters of the hunting post instead of the Previous 100 meters.
On the other hand, the request for unconstitutionality promoted by the government in relation to the method of marking the killed garments on the card was accepted, which must be carried out after the killing has taken place and not at the collection of the same as requested by the Lombard legislator. "Measuring the distances of the ambushes following the morphology of the ground and with a metric rib is a victory: it avoids a distorted use of tools such as the GPS -said the President of Federcaccia Lombardia Lorenzo Bertacchi-: the confirmed possibility of recovery is not a victory heads injured by ambushes within a radius of 200 meters: for the Court, recovery is to be done with an unloaded weapon and in the scabbard (otherwise it would be a stray fighter).
The cumulative marking of several items after recovery is therefore illegitimate: the Court had already clarified a few days ago that the items must be marked immediately after the killing and, if necessary, the assessment must be carried out immediately after the shot ". The message that it must be acknowledged in particular by the sheds it concerns this last point, as happened in other Italian regions. From Federcaccia Lombardia there are thanks to what the Lombard councilors are doing in defense of the hunting activity. “The balance is therefore of one victory and two defeats - concludes Bertacchi-: but on marking of the garments the defeat was announced after the decision of the Court on the Law of the Marche Region.
But we thank the Regional Council for trying to remedy a badly written state law. Excellent results relating to the measurement of distances and the credit goes to the Directors who firmly believed in this change. Instead, extend the distance from 100 to 200 meters for the recovery of items injured from a fixed position, a decision that had already raised some doubts among the hunters themselves, was a mistake: before the modification in fact, the recovery could take place with the use of firearms, now not anymore ”.
Once again then, the horned and beaten ones were the shed hunters?
