Accepting the appeal presented in recent days by the environmental associations WWF, ENPA, LIPU, LAV, LNDC Animal Protection towards the Abruzzo region, the TAR ordered the complete suspension of the regional hunting calendar until the hearing scheduled for the day September 8th. “Once again we have to witness discussions and technical-legal technicalities to which to entrust the regular performance of the hunting activity. Appeals and judicial acts seem to be the means by which to discuss wildlife programming. We have reached the point that not even the positive opinion of Ispra is sufficient to safeguard the hunting calendars from appeals, as the case of Abruzzo demonstrates, suspended even in those parts that were not in question for the Environmental Institute ".
Thus the national President of Federcaccia Massimo Buconi commented on the news of the decision of the TAR Abruzzo. "Of course, this time too Federcaccia will be alongside the Region with its technicians and lawyers in support of hunters and legal certainty and will do everything in its power to ensure that the hearing on 8 September rejects the specious arguments of anti-hunting associations - continued President Buconi - The fact remains that it is no longer tolerable for any decision in the field of wildlife and hunting management to be put in check by appeals made artfully and with total impunity to prevent the regular running of the hunting season or activities carried out according to the wildlife control, from wild boar to nutria, often in open conflict with the interests and safety of citizens.
Politics cannot continue to wink at an animal-environmentalist world that has repeatedly shown that it is concerned not with the real protection of the environment and agricultural businesses, but only with create difficulties for a legal and sustainable business for a mere ideology. I believe the time is ripe for all those active in rural areas to unite to be heard by politics and the government "concluded Buconi (Source: Hunting Federation).
