He is about to end up run over, his mother saves himGiffoni Valle Piana. A lottery organized by the club of Legambiente “Il Woodpecker" It is transformed into a resounding own goal by local representatives of the environmental association. The first prize is in fact a shotgun.
A mockery that almost makes you smile for the absurdity of which it is loaded. An environmental association, which defends animals, rewards with one of the tools that causes death, a rifle. Giffoni, the small town in the province of Salerno made known by the Children's Film Festival, will also be remembered for this.
In second place, for consistency one would almost say, a fishing rod. In the series, no one is spared, neither by land nor by sea. Fortunately, the third prize was a basket of typical products.
As can be easily guessed, there was immediately the tirade of ears by the leaders of Legambiente, who condemned the incident, considering it a serious damage to the image.
Underlining the fact that the association is a pacifist environmentalist, opposed to the use of weapons and violence and committed to spreading the culture of respect for animals, the president of Legambiente Campania Michele Buonomo he called the idea of giving away the shotgun shameful.

“We found out about this shameful initiative by chance but we thought of a very bad one joke. Unfortunately, however, it was all true, so we started the procedures provided for by our statute to expel the club responsible for this very serious action, decided without any involvement of the association bodies, which firmly condemn what happened ".
It almost seemed like fake news, confirmed instead by the president of the Enrico Tedesco club:
“We need to talk to the hunters who are many in these parts, this is the meaning of our lottery which was in any case an initiative limited to our territory. I don't intend to promote hunting but I do sportsWas the justification.
Could giving a shotgun as a reward be a deterrent then? An unusual perspective.
