This blatant disregard for Article 9 of the Italian Constitution, which enshrines the protection of animals and the environment, has prompted our mobilization.
Since the introduction of the "Wild Hunt" amendment at the beginning of this year, hunters in Italy have been granted the legal authority to shoot any animal species, even within parks and city limits.
This blatant disregard for Article 9 of the Italian Constitution, which enshrines the protection of animals and the environment, has prompted our mobilization.
We are calling upon the President of the Republic, the highest guarantor of the Constitution, to intervene and uphold the principles enshrined in Article 9.
To amplify our call to action, we have launched a mobilization campaign that spans the breadth of Italy.
In Rome, a striking artwork by Harry Greb adorned the walls of Via del Babbuccio, depicting President Mattarella alongside the wild animals now threatened.
For days, our message traveled through Milan, emblazoned on the sides of a beautiful tram.
Across the country, Italian flags have been raised atop statues of wild animals, serving as powerful symbols of our unwavering determination.
On Saturday, November 25, and Sunday, November 26, we took to the streets in numerous cities, united in our mission to protect wildlife.
At our tables, LAV volunteers facilitated the collection of messages n postcards addressed to the Quirinale Palace, urging President Mattarella to actively safeguard Article 9 and the values it upholds.
Our mobilization continues on Saturday, December 2, and Sunday, December 3.
Join us in the squares and make your voice heard. If you missed the opportunity to sign the postcard, you can still find LAV tables in some cities.
Together, we can ensure that Article 9 of the Italian Constitution remains more than just words on paper. Let our collective action be a beacon of hope for the protection of Italy's precious wildlife.
