And we dare to say this morning: bears and yellow vests, it’s not the same fight. To understand this chronicle hook, you need news items. This Wednesday, the general rapporteur of the Council of State invited the latter to authorize a decree valid throughout the Pyrenean massif, which allows scaring shots on bears. This text authorizes to clear out “lou moussu”, with light, olfactory and sound means. And then this order authorizes scaring shots on bears, either blanks or with rubber bullets. And these firing methods are framed by this text: the shooters must be two, must not have lethal ammunition on them, and during the firing, the angle described between the gun and the ground must remain less than 45°. That is to say a shot sticking very clearly towards the ground. So you see, it’s not 007’s license to kill. It must be said that all the pro Bear associations are against it and are seizing this administrative justice to prevent the implementation of this decree. So we think what we want about the question of the bear, but this morning we dare to point out that the shooting of rubber bullets is ultimately more supervised when it is the bear that is targeted, than when it is a protester.
