LIPU petitions against hunting law changes
31-03-2004
LIPU (BirdLife in Italy) has set a target of gathering 100,000 signatures for a petition protesting against the proposed weakening of hunting laws in Italy.
The Italian Government has made 15 proposals, including lengthening of the hunting season and decriminalising certain hunting crimes, such as killing of birds of prey. These changes would be in contravention of the European Union's Birds Directive - in the very year that the Directive celebrates its 25th Anniversary.
In 1998, a petition organised by LPO (BirdLife in France) against the long French hunting season collected 2.2 million signatures from across Europe, and in July 2002 France introduced a law which set a hunting season that did not significantly overlap with the spring migration or breeding seasons of any species.
The LIPU petition will be delivered to Prime Minister Berlusconi, Agriculture Minister Alemanno and Head of State Ciampi at the beginning of the hunting season in September.

For since the creation of the world God's invisible qualities--his eternal power and divine nature--have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that men are without excuse.
