After a long legal battle, finally the good news that the Court of Grosseto has issued an important sentence destined to open an extremely important precedent for the mechanism related to civil compensation, in favor of Environmental and animal welfare associations, in the event of a criminal conviction for a hunting offense committed by a hunter. A "system" used by these associations and in the specific case of the sentence by LAC (League Abolition of the Hunt) that in case of conviction they also asked the hunter for compensation for "The damage suffered".
The Judge has established that the automatism is less than in the face of a criminal offense attributable to hunting, can give rise to an environmental association, (perhaps the same to which the guards who ascertained the crime belong), the right to be able to demand from the hunter, financial compensation. The sentence saw as the protagonist of the defense, the lawyer Elisa Ferraro together with the lawyer. Romano Lombardi. Dr. Ferraro is part of the Legal Coordination of Confederation of Tuscan Hunters, together with numerous other colleagues operating in the region and specialized in hunting.
The Confederation, through its Confederate associations, has been committed to this for some time specific battle which concerns several dozen cases in Tuscany. Thanks therefore to the qualified professionals who have obtained this important result. A result underlined by a statement by the Provincial President of the Federcaccia di Grosseto Davide Senserini who in his capacity as provincial coordinator of the Grossetan CCT he declared - “This sentence is very important for hunters.
Whoever makes a mistake must pay, I am the first to support him, but once the bill is settled with justice it is not acceptable to be pilloried again for mere ideological positions. It is no longer justice, it is discrimination against citizens who carry out an activity that they can like it or not like it, but which is lawful and strictly regulated "(Source: Hunting Federation).
