"The killing ofBonelli's eagle in Sicily, yet another act of poaching in an Italy completely in the hands of hunting illegality, requires special intervention and special rules, starting from Daspo, both in subjective and objective form ". This was requested by the LIPU (Italian Bird Protection League) after the poaching episode that took place in the province of Trapani. The eagle is at risk of extinction and the hunting world he has already distanced himself from the gesture. What else has the animal rights association added?
Here is how his statement continues: "No regular instrument is today able to cope with the spread of the phenomenon ofillegal hunting, growing throughout Italy. For this reason we will ask the Government and Parliament, in the coming days, to make them a law proposal for the establishment of the Daspo for illegal hunting, which at every wounding or killing of protected species objectively suspend the hunting activity in the whole affected area and subjectively prohibit the hunting activity for years in case of discovery of the guilty party. It is a measure that would revolutionize the fight against poaching, immediately amplifying its effectiveness.
A different responsibility would be created in the hunting establishments that are the scene of illegal hunting acts and in the hunters themselves, who are led to worry more seriously about the maintenance of legality in the territory in which they carry out their activity. It will be in their direct interest: if someone makes a mistake, everyone pays. It is the only way for no one to make mistakes, or for very few to make mistakes, and those very few to be identified for what they are: a shame for the country ”.
