Even if the ducks killed weren’t from a protected species, anyone in Italy is required to have a hunting permit, even on private lands. This permit is almost impossible to get for a foreigner because it’s an exam with a lot of extremely specific questions in Italian
Rich and having good/powerful connections allows you to do anything in this world. We like to think this has changed but it hasn’t in the big picture.
The only thing these people need to fear is losing significant amount of money or too many important connections…
I bet the test is food based. Like you get dry pasta that’s longer than the pot is wide and what you do with the pasta determines if you get a hunting license or not.
I get the racial stereotypation, but at least it should be funny.
Btw, taking a hunting license requires a medical exam (including psycho-physic evaluation), a basic zoology exam to recognize species, an exam on laws around hunting, one about nature preservation and one on weapons handling. It has to be renewed every 5 years.
Nothing too complicated, tons of idiots have it, but still quite a process.
