“Insinna’s behavior, not new to this kind of interventions, it is made even more serious to be implemented by taking advantage of its notoriety through a medium, the television one, which guarantees him a wide following and the total absence of a contradictory opinion on the opinions expressed regarding hunting and hunters, denigrating a category of citizens who exercise a fully legitimate activity, foreseen and regulated by the laws of the State »wrote Massimo Buconi, president of Federcaccia, in the letter addressed to the director of Raiuno and to the parliamentary commission for general guidance and supervision.

Together with the invitation addressed to “all Italian hunters and their families” to stop following The legacy, But, social media line up in favor of Flavio Insinna through a hashtag, #iostoconflavioinsinna, which quickly scales Twitter trends by expressing the audience’s closeness to the host.
