The letter to the various ministers
La Unified control room of the hunting world (Federcaccia, Enalcaccia, ANLC, ANUUMigratoristi, Arcicaccia, Italcaccia, CNCN) wrote to the Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, the Minister of the Interior Matteo Piantedosi, the Minister of Agriculture Francesco Lollobrigida and the Minister of the Environment Gilberto Pichetto Fratin regarding the latest episodes of vandalism to the detriment of hunting facilities in recent days.
The text of the letter
Below is the text of the letter: "We take the liberty of informing you that in recent days in the Brescia area (particularly in the municipalities of Capriolo and Monte Orfano) there have been new episodes of vandalism and real eco-terrorism to the detriment of structures and hunting lodges which they were destroyed and set on fire, with a serious risk of fire spreading to the surrounding woods and a serious danger to people's safety. As you well know, these facts have been repeated for years now by pseudo animalist acronyms who, in addition to writing insults of all kinds on the walls of the devastated structures, also leave their signature. Not only. These subjects often also carry out actions of provocation and disturbance towards the hunters in the legitimate exercise of their hunting activity in the field, in the hope that one of them will lose control and therefore pass from right to wrong, paying the consequences".
Outrageous animalism
“These terrorist actions carried out by small groups of pseudo-animal activists and their threats to institutions and hunters can no longer be tolerated. We believe that the time has come to put a stop to this disrespectful animalism by calling the perpetrators of such acts of vandalism to account for their actions, so that those responsible are identified and severely punished. We are convinced that strict laws are needed to include these crimes within acts of eco-terrorism, as is already the case in other European countries”.
Denigration and misinformation
"We also hope that the episodes of open denigration and culpable misinformation towards the hunting world will also stop definitively which, with increasing frequency, have been encountered within various Public Service broadcasts and which no longer appear tolerable by the of the entire category of hunters. Naturally, for the solution to all the problems mentioned above, the undersigned Associations gathered in the Control Room (Federcaccia, Enalcaccia, AnuuMigratoristi, the National Free Hunting Association, Arcicaccia, Italcaccia and the National Hunting and Nature Committee - CNCN) are ready and willing to offer maximum collaboration to the institutions and authorities in charge, also on the occasion of targeted meetings which we hope can be organized as soon as possible".
