Longer hunting season and also in full migration, relaunching the capture of birds to recall alive, hunting in the state -owned areas and more: the bill on hunting presented in these days in the Senate by the majority parties An attack on nature is also under almost all points of view, also in violation of the birds directive and the Italian Constitution.
There are 46 representative signatories of the world environmentalist, animal rights, scientific And of the sustainable economic sector, who formally asked Minister Lollobrigida to confront these issues but have never received an answer.
The text of the bill presented in Parliament almost follows the ministerial draft already made public by the associations. The changes made are minimal and completely insufficient to mitigate the gravity of the provision.
An example above all is the case of hunting on the beach: in practice it is the opportunity to hunt in the state -owned areas, explicitly excluding only the maritime state property. This means that, without the mobilization of the associationseven would have come to allow the rifles by the sea.
The bill presented yesterday represents a backward for everyoneWhy:
The proposed bill of popular initiative
The Associations has filed in the Court of Cassation in Rome the proposal for a popular initiative to obtain the abolition of hunting, the strengthening of the protection of wolves and bears the increase in the areas intended for park and, in any case, the ban on entry of hunters into private properties.
After the publication in the Official Gazette, signatures will start on the official online platform to get to over 50 thousand signatures in six monthsnecessary to be discussed by Parliament together with the Lollobrigida bill that aims to extend always and everywhere hunting more than it is not unfortunately allowed.
We turn to the Minister of Agriculture, who during his activity identified wild animals as goals at the age of problems of the sector, and to the group leaders of the majority, signatories of the Lollobrigida bill, to say that instead the problems are quite others.
With the approval in December 2022 of the “Wild Hunting” amendment that allows the entry of hunters into the city and in the parks, the government and Parliament have started a painstaking work of demolition of the regulatory protection of wild animals to the fullest of the lobby of the hunters continued then over time with the legalization of the indiscriminate hunting for wild boars, the approval of a five -year plan for the extermination of any wild species, grant the hunting license to the sixteen -year -olds and other concessions that have led to the opening of two infringement procedures by the European Commission against our country. A successful plan of the rearmament of hunters in the city and elsewhere.
