As disclosed by the LIPU (Italian Bird Protection League), there are news regarding the regional hunting calendars of our country. Here is what theanimal rights association in a public note in the last few hours: “A GREAT VICTORY. Stop at pochard and lapwing hunting! Taking up the request of the European Commission, the Italian Ministry of the Environment wrote to the regions asking to change the hunting calendars by 25 July, prohibiting the hunt for the pochard and the lapwing, two splendid species, globally threatened, which in Italy are still the object of hunting.
And that now they can give a sigh of relief. We will ensure that this happens and then we will work to save the other species: wild turtledove, lark, ptarmigan ”. The reaction of the hunting world was not long in coming, in particular the Italian Federation of Hunting has made known the following through social media.
The statement is this: "Federcaccia certainly did not wait to read the LIPU propaganda statements to take action against this European initiative, as it was easy to foresee immediately. received in a distorted way by our ministry of the environment. the fact remains however that the Regions can detach themselves from this which remains an invitation e not a provision". The next few weeks will be very hot and not just for the summer temperatures.
