Amiens: the controversy after a hunting party near a school

The hunting party took place in a private field in Amiens (Sum), tuesday October 18 in the morning. Five shots were reportedly fired, which aroused the excitement of some students who were taken to safety by the teachers. Parents are unhappy. “You have to use common sense. There they were 5 meters from the village. A school, there are all the children in the yard, they couldn’t not hear them”says a mother.

The rector of the Academy of Amiens praised the attitude of the teachers, who sheltered the children. For their part, the hunters say they do not understand the controversy. They visit the site twice a year. “A few gunshots took place in the plain, perhaps not very far from the ecothe, but in no case in the direction of the school, says Emmanuel Lavoisier, director of the Federation of Hunters of the Somme. This is confirmed by the prefecture. The hunters are ready to engage in a discussion with the school.
