The park rangers of the Gran Paradiso National Park have been found a wounded eagle and it is immediately hunt for the hunter. The news of the discovery of the eagle was reported in the press in this way ”. On Sunday 27 June the park rangers of the Gran Paradiso were the protagonists of the recovery of an adult specimen of golden eagle in Ceresole reale, the bird of prey is wounded in a wing and has symptoms of suspected lead poisoning ”. They were waiting for the huntsmen to unleash yet another crusade against hunting and hunters. Before even ascertaining whether the injury sustained by the eagle was caused by weapon or if the animal's symptoms were really connected to saturnism, the comments on the social networks of those who have very little sympathy for hunting and hunters were unleashed.
Giulia writes ”I am not an expert in the sector but since the cause of the poisoning probably derives from one or more hunting tools (moreover, I wonder if it is not poaching), hunting should economically support the treatments. " Bruno writes "it is not a question of poaching but of ammunition and failure to bury the bowels of killed animals." And so on with other comments of this nature... ... I took the liberty of commenting on these comments, recalling that the injuries sustained by the eagle found in the Gran Paradiso National Park do not seem to have been caused by a firearm at all, also recalling that within all Italian parks, due to the framework law on protected areas n. 394/91 any form of hunting is prohibited and therefore the eagle cannot have been poisoned feeding on the entrails of animals killed by hunters “.
It follows that hunting and hunters have no responsibility for the wounding of the eagle found and its alleged and not yet ascertained poisoning. An old adage goes: "It denigrates, it denigrates that something remains ..." Here is the tactic used by the huntsmen: to use all possible tools (including falsehoods, unexamined truths or imaginative hypotheses) to denigrate the image of hunting and hunters. In a public opinion that does not always know the truth, the misinformation piloted by anti-hunts in bad faith runs the risk of taking root or leaving some trace, especially in the preparation phase of the referendum offensive (Hon.
