The clash between animal rights activists and hunters ends in court
ANTONIO FABBRI – In October 2019 in the Capanne area, a protest was triggered by some residents supported by Italian animal rights activists, against hunting in that area. A dispute had arisen with the hunters and the Ecological Guard and the Guardia di Rocca also intervened. Big words had flown and the activists had also staged a protest by making noise with frying pans and bollards warned to remove the game.
At the time through #San Marino Against Hunting from Fiorentino Francesca Verducci she had launched a campaign that also prompted some activists of the Italian MAC movement to get on the Titan to give her support. The story, after three years and an initial filing, following the denunciation of some hunters, ended up in court. . Yesterday the first hearing with Francesca Verducci and four other Italian activists accused of insult and private violence. The trial is open before the commissioner of the law Simone Luca Morsiani. Five hunters defended by the lawyer filed a civil action Daniele Cherubinimom there Federcaccia as an institution it was not admitted. The defendants are defended by lawyers Enrico Carattoni And Fabrizia CasadeiVerducci, and by the lawyer Marco Giancarlo Rossini the others.
Yesterday morning several testimonies were heard: agents of the Guardia di Rocca and ecological guards. So far it has emerged that there have not actually been acts of violence, but rather disturbing and how the offenses, when it was hot, were reciprocal. The point that emerged, however, is that of the hunting activity near the houses and the pellets that sometimes arrive on the terraces or against the houses. Hence the regularity of the distances and also how the animals are treated. In short, there are two convictions: that of hunters and that of those who are against hunting. Positions that appear to be in conciliation. However, the process will have to be limited to verifying whether there has been violence to prevent the hunting activity and whether there have been injuries.
The trial will continue next November 4 with the hearing of other testimonies.
