should it be banned on weekends and during school holidays?

Various incidents involving hunters with shooting and stray bullets have plagued several areas in France in recent days. Walkers fear them more and more. “For 2% of the hunting population, penalized 98% of the rest of the population, it’s a bit of a scandal”, believes a woman. Since the death of Morgan Keane, killed by a hunter while chopping wood in front of his home in December 2020, the question has become more and more present.

“A hunter who killed a person and who had just a fine of 500 euros, not serving in prison, that’s what we denounce”, says Zoé Monchevourt, member of the Un jour un chasseur collective. From now on, the political class is seizing the debate. For Yannick Jadot (EELV), the regulations around hunting must be toughened. The latter wants to ban hunting on weekends and during school holidays. As for the hunters, they point out a drop in accidents of 40% in twenty years. The debate does not seem to have finished arousing controversy.
