A fixed thought
In the last few hours, the president of the Movement 5 Stars, Giuseppe Conte, presented the party's program to the animal welfare associations the protection and safeguarding of animals. In the various points one can read one, well evident, which certainly will not please the hunting world. The document clearly reads: "Progressive abolition of hunting". But what do the pentastellates mean with this drastic choice to say the least? The explanation is soon said.
Private land and poaching
The objective of the Movement in view of the political elections of the next September 25th is to cancel the hunting activity starting from the prohibition of access to private land and from the fight against poaching. Putting hunting and poaching together in the same proposition is an insult to a category that is too harassed and that does not yet deserve these combinations that leave the time they find. The animal welfare proposals of the 5 Stars, then, include other measures.
Other proposals
In particular, the Movement wants to introduce severe penalties for those who commit violence or mistreatment of animals. At the same time, there is the idea of introducing the veterinary cashback to obtain the deductions related to veterinary expenses and medicines made with electronic payment instruments directly on the current account. Finally, the document includes the request for contrast to the phenomenon of strays and the protection of animals throughout the supply chain.
