The association Arch Hunting has returned to take care ofPianosa Island, which is located in the Tyrrhenian Sea and is part of the Tuscan archipelago. Here is the statement released in the last few hours: “Numerous reports from cacciators outraged by what would be happening on the Island of Pianosa. On the web, in fact, testimonies are circulating regarding the massive culling of specimens of pheasant.
These animals are specimens born and raised in the wild, an invaluable resource, which could, once reintroduced to other protected areas on dry land, help resettle stable pheasant populations. On the island it was decided to eradicate the population, to re-establish the Italic red partridge strain. A decision behind which, in addition to noble scientific ideals, there would be more earthly European funding.
Unfortunately, after capturing a small part of it, it was decided to speed up the pace of eradication, squandering a precious fauna heritage like gold. Our no to this operation is categorical, for Arci Caccia this waste of resources is unacceptable. Furthermore, we naturally ask ourselves a question: where are the animal rights activists when they are needed? Are they only angry with hunters? Do they really have nothing to say on the subject? Expect a reply".
