Il Falconiere Print

I'm not a hunter, nor do I love animal hunting. However, I have always been fascinated by falcon hunting, as described and illustrated in the famous medieval treatise "De Arte venandi cum avibus" written by Federico II di Svevia (13th century). The reason for this fascination I attribute to the special relationship that is created between man and the falcon. In this relationship the alliance and trust in the success of the hunt that will lead to a mutual benefit is fundamental. The prey is not defenseless, but it has all the defensive weapons of which nature has endowed it, for this reason, it can escape predation. In this mode of hunting there is no violation of the rules of nature, but the application of the same rules and everyone has an opportunity. With modern hunting there is a forcing of these rules, in fact enormously powerful weapons are used to hit even small animals, which cannot escape with their own strength, but are forced, fatally, to succumb. Modern hunting leaves millions of lead pellets in the fields and in the woods. Modern hunting kills without necessity.
