During the last meeting of the Agriculture Commission of the Lombardy Regional Council there was a vote on the amendments to the regulations for the implementation of the rules for the protection of wildlife. The League took advantage of the opportunity to propose a change of a certain type and very particular, opening the fox hunting. According to the councilor Francesco Ghiroldi, the situation of this animal is similar to that of the wild boar, in particular with regard to the mountains.
The objections to the withdrawal of the fox by the Democratic Party are considered by the League to be useful in keeping the mood of themilitant environmentalism. Ghiroldi added how the containment of the species through hunting has occurred in the past with success and concrete results, to be precise without causing damage of any kind.
The councilors opposed to the proposal are those of the PD and Lombardi Civici Europeisti, according to which one should not even think of such a thing, since even in England the practice has been banned. Last June there was a ruling by the Lombardy Regional Administrative Court regarding the fox hunting in the province of Brescia. The judges accepted the animal rights appeal and effectively rejected the culling plans.
