A 10-year-old boy was injured
The 10-year-old boy who was wounded in Osimo, Ancona in circumstances still to be clarified during the hunting activity is still in serious condition. From a first reconstruction it seems that the bullet hit a wall and the child was hit by the bounce shots.
“It is unacceptable that minors are involved in various ways in hunting: children must be kept away from weapons and from situations of grave and immediate danger. With deaths and injuries, more and more often very young, shotguns represent a real problem of public order, a real national emergency ", write the animal rights associations in a joint note asking Parliament to intervene to protect citizens.
“We also ask - continue Enpa, Lac, Lav, Lipu and WWF - that firing distances be increased from homes, workplaces, roads and railways, threatened by ever more powerful weapons; that the rifles are not entrusted to young people under 25; that tourists are free to enjoy their holidays and therefore that even in the selection hunt the guns are silent in the spring and summer months; that the month of September, now the high season for the economy based on rural tourism, be free from any form of shooting ".
Thus, the regional councilor, Gianluca Busilacchi, has launched a proposal for a local referendum that will severely limit hunting activities in the Marche region and let it be known that he is evaluating the feasibility of the route from a regulatory point of view.
Veneto: hunting suspension
In Veneto, a region doubled by bad weather, where the governor Zaia speaks of at least one billion in damage, firing continues even in the face of devastation. Hunters continue to chase wild animals already severely tested by the loss of their natural habitat.
The animal welfare associations are asking the president to immediately suspend hunting activities throughout the region, so that even wildlife can recover from the stress suffered in these days.
Killed protected species
In the meantime, however, two protected birds have been killed in the Padua area: a pigeon (Columba livia) and a lesser shag (Phalacrocorax pygmeusuna). And throughout the region, in the province of Treviso, Vicenza, Rovigo, Venice and Verona, reports continue.
"They are shooting on exhausted animals, on the few survivors of weeks of intense rains, water bombs, flooding and flooding of rivers, it is a situation that required the closure of the hunt as required by law 157/1992 in article 19 paragraph 1 and by regional law n.50 of 1993 ”, explain the advisors of the Intergroup for the protection and conservation of nature.
"The hunters, a minority fortunately, who shot the exhausted surviving animals - continue the councilors - do not have a minimum of humanity and environmental sensitivity, instead of carrying the shotgun or even carrying out very serious poaching actions, they could help civil protection for give a hand to the thousands of Venetian citizens without electricity, water and homes ".
