NormanH Posted November 7, 2021 Share Posted November 7, 2021 A recent survey found that 69% of French people would support such a ban. https://www.lejdd.fr/Politique/sondage-les-francais-favorables-a-linterdiction-de-la-chasse-le-week-end-et-pendant-les-vacances-scolaires-4075067?fbclid=IwAR2hDDY5F-8JzFdWnTUH9cRr2OT4MkGkiZ06my6sf05_xJoku-XeprCY5As Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anotherbanana Posted November 7, 2021 Share Posted November 7, 2021 But the power of the hunting lobby is huge, unfortunately. Every Presidential candidate kowtows to them. It remains to be seen if they do the same this time round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harnser Posted November 7, 2021 Share Posted November 7, 2021 I would support a national policy whereby La Chasse is authorised to hunt every other Sunday, by commune and at no other time. Then we would know 100% where we stand. This would give some relief to dog walkers, mushroom pickers etc, who just want to wander in the woods of a Sunday, without the risk of getting shot. Our local rules are far from clear, and frequently we come across official looking triangular road signs that proclaim "Chasse" on any day of the week - very helpful - not!

Ken Posted November 8, 2021 Share Posted November 8, 2021 I would support a total ban on amateur hunting. I understand the need for culling certain animals (though I still don't like it!) Amateurs with guns!!! a definite no! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lori Posted November 8, 2021 Share Posted November 8, 2021 I would certainly support a clearer set of rules. When I read the rules / laws for hunting in this region (I presume it is similar in other regions), it was just a laugh. Other than the need to have a license, that was pretty much about it. Days of the week - right. If I understood the rules correctly, any property owner can hunt on his own property at any given time (any day of the week). The same property owner can allow other licensed hunters to hunt on his land on any given day, if he so chooses. I asked my neighbors here and they just said to avoid the vines (which is primarily what we are surrounded by) and to keep away from terrain with signs stating it is zoned for hunting. Those are just about everywhere round here. So, it seriously limits where we can walk outside of Summer. And we try to walk about 8kms every day. It does feel a bit weird to have to worry that your daily walk might get you killed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
