THEAIDAA (Italian Association of Animal Defense and Environment) has decided to start a new battle against hunting. President Lorenzo Croce has in fact analyzed the data concerning the serious accidents of the last five hunting seasons. In fact, there were 115 deaths and another 420 injured, most of them due to firearms. In addition, a fifth of the people involved they had nothing to do with hunting.
For all these reasons the association has denounced what according to Croce cannot be defined as sport. The president is about to ask the CONI (Italian National Olympic Committee) not to consider hunting a sport. AIDAA fails to understand how CONI did not intervene after the official status of these estimates, also taking into account the killings of animals. Croce's intervention ends extemporaneously, with the hope of abolish hunting once and for all.
Apart from the classic environmentalist phrases of circumstance, it must be remembered that this association is often the protagonist of complaints and requests that then dissolve like soap bubbles. One of the most famous ones involved the starred chef Carlo Cracco e a dish based on pigeon cooked during an episode of MasterChef.
