sheep and goats in the streets of Annecy and Chambéry against the wolf in the mountain pastures
It is a symbolic action: the FNSEA and the Young Farmers of Savoie and Haute-Savoie are mobilizing to denounce the inability, according to them, of the state to regulate predators.
According to agricultural unions, the number of wolf attacks is on the rise. This Friday, October 15 from 10:30 am, around 300 breeders gathered in front of the prefectures of Annecy and Chambéry.
According to the FNSEA: “the tenants of the ensauvage of the territories led little by little to their end: eliminating pastoralism and the breeders who practice it “. The agricultural union explains that it had already denounced the wolf plan, at the national level and notes that today, “we were unfortunately right; the administration, which has only its eyes fixed on the counter of the quotas of wolves to be taken, transporting a whole section of the breeding to L’Herbe dans le mur “.
In gatherings we now talk about biodiversity. We feel that “the world above adopts the words of those below” to become aware of the greatest number. Friday morning, the hunters of the Savoy and Haute-Savoie federations were alongside the breeders with elected officials from the mountains.
Calculators estimate that the number of wolves in France is currently much higher than the count of 624 individuals carried out by the French Biodiversity Office (OFB) and are calling for “real protection measures” for their animals, in particular “simplified access to defensive fire” and the possibility of being able to use rifles with night sights.
Some 150 breeders and supporters also had Friday in front of the Hautes-Alpes prefecture in Gap to express “their fed up and dismay” in the face of attacks from predators, in particular the wolf, which is becoming more and more present and aggressive. .
