“We abolish hunting”: the associations launch a design of popular initiative against the majority bill that wants to expand it. The signatures of 50 thousand citizens are needed

“We abolish hunting”, environmental associations raise the shot, and ask the citizens of sign A drawing law. Thus respond to the DDL filed in the Senate by the majority group leaders (Malan of Fratelli d’Italia, Romeo della Lega, Gasparri of Forza Italia, and Civic Salvitti of Italy), firmly siding against the changes proposed to law 157 of ’92 who want expand the hunting areas to state forests and to Mountain passes, limit protected areas, expand the period of La Caccia (do not place a closing date of the hunting season), and that they give hunters the opportunity to capture migratory birds to use as calls (torture for birds, closed in cage used to attract other birds, to which only breeding specimens were subjected so far).

Against all this and much more, six associations launch a bill of popular initiative For the abolition of hunting, the strengthened protection of wolves and bears, the increase in protected areas and the cancellation of article 842 of the civil code which allows hunters to enter private properties. Filed in the Court of Cassation needs the signatures of 50 thousand citizens (signs here) To go to the Senate and be discussed like the majority bill, which has already been nicknamed “shooter”.

“The bill presented by the majority has aspects of strong criticality and demonstrates how much fauna is under siege in this country”, he comments Massimo VitturiNational manager of the area Wild animals of the LAV, Anti Vivisection League«If the proposed changes are passed, for example, it can be hunted in large woods and state forests such as the Bosco della Mesola in Ravenna, or Duna feniglia In Orbetello, which are places of unspoiled nature, a nature that is gradually reduced: the regions will be called to verify the size of the protected areas that cannot be higher than 30 % of the territory or will be reduced, in the event, also with an act of imperial of the Ministry of Agriculture “.

Bears in Trentino exist, and you can meet them (and not for this they must be killed)

The province of Trento has announced that he will put the radio control at the M91 bear who last April followed a hiker in the woods of Molveno, indicating the case as “one of the most serious”. But if every bear you meet someone at home, or in the woods, can it become an “animal to be removed”, what happens to the coexistence between man and animals to which we all hope for?

Arrow

«Among other things – continues Vitturi – with This DDL reveals the pretext of the story of Minister Lollobrigida’s story When he claims that the changes to the hunting law 157 arise from the need to control an out of control wildlife, it causes accidents and becomes dangerous: now, for example, what does it have to do with this the possibility that they want to give hunters to kill migratory birds when they pass on their air routes over the mountain passes? “.

But the point for vitturi – and for all animalists is simple: «According to Eurispes data, confirmed in recent years, 70 % of Italians are contrary to hunting, so if we lived in a democratic country, the hunt should have already been abolished. Hunters represent only 0.7 percent of Italian citizens, yet they have the china politics at their feet “continues vitturi.
“We want to give a strong signal to the majority, so we ask citizens to sign many to give strength to this initiative, to demonstrate that there is a strong popular will in this sense. It is an attempt that has never been done before, which we believe a lot. We abolish hunting, signing here ».
