    Hunt stray cats and dogs. The shocking proposal of the League

    The Northern League returns to provoke. From the regional headquarters of Friuli Venezia Giulia comes the proposal of the Carroccio to introduce not only the training of falcons with the use of wildlife, but also the inclusion among the huntable species of the western wild pigeon (columba livia), of the turtle dove from collar (streptopelia decaocto) and, incredibly, wild domestic fauna: we are talking about stray dogs and cats.

    The Northern League returns to provoke. From the regional headquarters of Friuli Venezia Giulia arrives the proposal of the Carroccio to introduce not only thehawk training with the use of wildlife, but also theinclusion among the huntable species of the wild pigeon western (columba livia), della turtledove from the collar (streptopelia decaocto) and, incredibly, of the wild domestic fauna: we are talking about stray dogs and cats.



    Do not pay for the recent bear meat banquet in Imer in Trentino, the Northern League launches the shocking and aberrant proposal to change the regional hunting law which would therefore provide hunters with right to shoot even street dogs and cats.

    An absurd idea that, obviously, will never be approved. It is, in fact, of practices severely punished by the legislation in force, as Lav explains, which presented a beware towards the regional group of the Northern League and the Regional Council. "If by wild domestic fauna we mean dogs and cats, it is good to remember that these animals are protected by both national and regional legislation on stray dogs and is it is absolutely forbidden to kill or mistreat them. Article 544-bis of the Criminal Code punishes anyone who kills an animal for cruelty or without necessity with up to 2 years ".

    As for wild pigeon e turtledove from the collar Lav also reminds us that they are “animals protected by the national framework law on wildlife. Therefore, if the Regional Council of Friuli Venezia Giulia approved the proposals of the Northern League, it would in fact allow real poaching practices. The situation is no different with regard to the training of Hawks on wildlife: even this proposal, if approved, would transform those who practice it into a criminally prosecutable poacher ".

    The president of the Lipu-Birdlife, Fulvio Mamone Capria, then remembers that the proposal comes "just in the days when Parliament is discussing how to tackle, finally in a serious way, the issue of straying", also denouncing "a certain hunting extremism, associative but also, sorry to say, administrative, he is losing control of himself ".



    In short, an exit really surreal and embarrassing which, although it will never become reality, throws all attempts at awareness raising to end the uncontrolled abandonment of our 4-legged friends and all the struggles to combat violence unjustly suffered by animals. And that demonstrates without any veil all the arrogance and cruelty of the hunting world.


    Outrage and dismay.
