A new controversial sentence
Two days ago, the Veneto Regional Administrative Court accepted the appeal of the LAC (League for the Abolition of Hunting) against a part of the regional hunting calendar relating to 2022-2023 season. As requested by the association itself, the closure of the collection of all aquatic birds must be anticipated, ie from 30 to 20 January next.
Extension of the hunting period
The stop refers to the whole regional territory and more precisely to the following species: Water Rail, Whisk, Coot, Snipe, Moorhen, Mallard, Teal, Shoveler, Gadwall, Wigeon, Pintail, Garganey. According to what was reported by the LAC, the Region would have continued the hunt for fieldfares and redwings. As is the case every year, this hunting season has also been studded with sentences and counter-sentences in every Italian region.
ACR's comment
Among others, the Association for Rural Culture (ACR) commented on the sentence: “As we predicted, on January 21, 2023 the Veneto TAR ruled the early closure of the hunt, setting a dangerous precedent for the next hunting season. The question we address to the hunters registered in these hunting associations that are part of the notorious "control room" and to those who have slavishly joined them is this: sorry but you are not yet tired of being taken for the junction point between the back and the legs (ass) from your executives that you finance with your membership cards? To what extent are you still willing to put up with being represented in institutional offices by people, some of whom seem to be more interested in protecting their positions than in defending the interests of their associates? To err is human but to persevere is diabolical!".
