It is not the first time that the Cabinet decides to examine and reject a regional rule that it has to do with hunting activity. After the recent case of the Liguria (not to mention the training of falcons in the Veneto region) this time it was the turn of Sicilia. In fact the Government has examined the latest Finance Law of the island region and has challenged several articles. These concern the state property, the economic condition of the precarious and especially hunting.
More specifically, we are talking about the article that talks about the control and protection of wildlife. In practice, the part relating to the hunting of wild animals and was judged contrary to the dictates of the Italian Constitution. The appeal is considered "soft", but it is obvious the fury towards hunters, in this case the Sicilian ones.
According to reports from the Presidency of the CdM, the law in question has crossed the border drawn for the state powers. In addition, the article on the control of fauna would have caused the enlargement of the audience of what can be considered i controllers. In short, the fact that hunters are part of the group cannot be tolerated at the constitutional level.
