Il WWF Campania expresses solidarity with the president of the VIII Commission of the Regional Council Hon. Francesco Emilio Borrelli for the attack, received in the press, by the hunting lobby. “The hunting associations - declare from the WWF - put the hunters' interest in killing even the wild fauna first in the public interest and health security. It is not clear how the hunter should be the only person allowed to circulate freely in the red zone when not even our children can go out to school and almost all commercial activities are at a standstill.
President Borrelli limited himself to highlighting a foregone conclusion: hunting is not an interest so significant as to justify exceptions to the prohibitions that the authorities had to impose to counter the pandemic". "Contrary to what was highlighted by the hunters - explains Piernazario Antelmi, WWF Campania delegate -, the choice of Governor De Luca to entrust the presidency of the Agriculture Commission to Francesco Borrelli, a person sensitive to the protection of animals and the environment, was of particular value since finally the regional policy he will not have to submit to the diktats of the hunting world.
On the contrary, we ask President Borrelli not to let his guard down and to block the attempt at hunting-style wildlife planning that some regional and ATC offices are trying to impose for the next few years “. "We are sure that President Borrelli imposes discontinuity - concluded by WWF Campania -. Wildlife belongs to the whole community, hunters cannot continue to manage it at their leisure and other uses and customs “.
