To convert an 'anti'

It you have a friend who likes to photograph birds but abhors shooting them, prepare a dish of quaglie alla boscaiola, now in season, and invite him to dinner.

Unfortunately the very bad impression for a very long time which has been given by Rambo styled gun wielders - (they do not merit to be called hunters) have lost the day for respectable hunters like Aldo and the like of the members of S. Ubertu hunting association.

Nothing of the scenes were birds of prey are shot, one still sees in the country can be associated with tradition or civilised. And whoever is honest enough amongst the hunters' community will agree that it has been too much and still is.

It is no longer a question of pro or anti hunting, eating or not eating game or watching or shooting birds. It is a question of civilised or uncivilised, respectable or abhorrent behaviour which will eventually, and unavoidably, call on the most drastic of solutions to curb down, with the unavoidable price paid by game shooters and taxpayers. I say unfortunately but albeit necessary.

If only it were so easy!

Most antis would rather purchase a quail, chicken,duck, turkey or pheasant from the butchers than agree with the hunting of birds.

No matter how legal and popular our hunting is the anti will always remain an anti.

Hunters are accused of massacres, occupying the countryside so on and so forth. Most people accusing us of such, are incapable of distinguishing an eagle from a sparrow they simply disagree with the shooting of birds. However you will find that most are happy eating a succulent steak or a crispy roast chicken.


Leave the quail boscaiola to the hunter. Keep it a secret. If anti hunters find out what they are missing we might have a bigger problem with the anti hunters becoming hunters.

....and invite him to dinner - at HIS OWN house, whilst also inviting YOUR OWN (but not his) friends.
