Hunting is under attack in France, and rural communities are uniting to defend themselves from environmentalists and politicians who are undermining rural traditions.
In recent times, protests have erupted in urban areas, some of them quite bizarre, over stinking cows, crowing roosters, and croaking frogs. Then comes hunting, and traditional hunts in particular are under attack.
For these reasons, the rural community is joining forces, reporting deliberate shortcomings on the part of the Ministry of the Environment and Ecological and Solidarity Transition in drafting decrees and the failure to respond to questions posed by the Council of State.
A motion supported by rural communities will soon be addressed to both the President of the Republic and the Prime Minister. In parallel, many peaceful protests will be held across the country starting at the end of August.
The rural world claims to have been betrayed by the current government and it is time for rurality to regain its nobility.
Rural populations feel like they are second-class citizens and want to give a strong voice to their discomfort.
