Let's stop the massacre of 800 foxes in Italy!

STOP THE KILLING OF FOXES IN ITALY!!!

Target:
The President of the Province of Perugia and the Alderman Massimo Buconi
Sponsored by: 

On the newspaper Corriere Della Sera of the 2nd of July there's the announcement of the decision taken by the Province of Perugia, Italy, to kill 800 foxes in hunting territories. The reason for such a decision is that FOXES DISTURB HUNTERS.  As a matter of fact hunters grow  pheasant and other kinds of "game" animals in big sheds, and then "set them free" to have fun killing them. What foxes do is simply follow their natural instinct and hunt these poor animals who always lived in a cage and who are therefore an easy target.  By doing this they "steal" the "toys" of hunters, who(acting instead AGAINST nature)like children play tantrums and ask the institutions to defend them from the "evil foxes", so that they can shoot down the pheasants themselves.

And what do the institutions do? Instead of laughing at them as they should, they please the hunters' tantrums.

Let's tell the President of the Province of Perugia and the Alderman Massimo Buconi, responsible for the Wildlife Programming and Management (as underlined in the newspaper's article) how much we disagree with their decision.

Due to the Urgency of the matter, feel free to personally send an email to the President of the Province and the Alderman. You can send either the Italian version of the letter or the translated one, or write your own thoughts, but please be polite and refrain from insults.

Dear Sir,

I join the protest for your acting to kill foxes, and I ask, as many other Italian citizens, that the same may be canceled as soon as possible.
Your job is not to do favors to citizens, but to respect their will, and the vast majority of citizens are against hunting. Foxes have all the rights to live, while hunters don't have any right to kill for fun, and to consider nature and living creatures as a personal belonging.
Waiting for a confirmation that this shameful acting has been withdrawn, I thank you for your attention.

Kind regards.
 
Name, Surname,
City, Nation.



Egregio Sig,
mi unisco alla protesta per la vostra delibera ammazza volpi, e chiedo, come tanti altri cittadini da tutta Italia, che sia annullata al più presto.
Il vostro lavoro non è quello di fare favori ai cacciatori, ma rispettare il volere dei cittadini, e la stragrande maggioranza dei cittadini è contro la caccia. Le volpi hanno tutto il diritto di vivere, mentre i cacciatori non hanno alcun diritto di ammazzare per divertimento, e considerare la natura e gli esseri viventi come loro proprietà personale.
Nell'attesa di sapere che questa ordinanza vergognosa è stata ritirata, porgo distinti saluti.

Why would you kill foxes that are simply doing what is natural. Again an animal is being killed because of human greed and cruelty. Please stop the killing of foxes.

Animals have the same right to live as human beings. To kill them for fun shows how degenerated some people have become. Stop supporting such cruel practice!

I just can't understand how people can hurt any animal, just because people don't find them as a value except maybe for their fur..That is so disgusting..These animals are needed for the eco system and keep nature at a healthy balance.

It's futile and absolutely not acceptable to dispatch 800 lives just for "fun". Please, stop killing the foxes!

Toleranz hat dort ihre Grenzen, wo Brutalität und Quälerei anfangen. Wir sollten auch nicht in jedem Fall das Subsidiaritätsprinzip verfolgen, sondern uns für ethische Werte weltweit einsetzen, selbstverständlich nur mit friedlichen Mitteln, denn Krieg ist das Eingeständnis der Politiker, versagt zu haben. Nachfolgende Generationen werden über unser Jahrhundert denken, wie wir über Zeiten der Hexenverbrennung und Sklavenhaltung etc.. Trotzdem kann bereits heute jeder Einzelne dazu beitragen, dass die zukünftige Vergangenheit nicht ganz so finster wird.

Es ist eine unbequeme Wahrheit, dass Wissenschaftler überall auf der Welt jeden Tag die Erfahrung machen, dass Tiere genauso leiden können wie Menschen und mehr als wir bis jetzt dachten, können sie auch denken. Bei immer mehr Tierarten stellen wir kognitive Fähigkeiten fest. Wenn sich Kultur nicht neuen Erkenntnissen anpasst, geht sie früher oder später einfach unter bzw. an ihrer Dekadenz zugrunde. Tierquälerei und Tiermord mit ansehen zu müssen, ist eine Verletzung der Menschenrechte.
