Phave more than two drinks before taking the shotgun? Hunters boss Willy Schraen appears to be in favor of the idea. In an interview given on Wednesday, November 16 to Parisian on the occasion of the trial concerning the death of Morgan Keane, the president of the National Federation of Hunters developed, Wednesday, November 16: “A blood alcohol control, with a limit of 0.5 g/l of blood, easy as for the drivers, if it must make people safe, I say banco, let’s do it. The objective for him is therefore to reassure non-hunters, and at the same time to get rid of the image of the “good hunter and bad hunter”, this mythical sketch of the Unknowns.
The very media boss of French hunting had stepped up to the plate during the first proposal to the Senate in this direction. He explains: “It provided that no alcohol would be allowed throughout the hunting day. A frankly liberticidal formulation. We don’t even do it for the car, we would do it for the hunt. »
Defense first
Willy Schraen remains faithful to his position as the first defender of hunting, all the same scratching the opponents of the practice: “The political world is now hostile to hunting. […] Anti-species, animalist and ecologist movements systematically stigmatize the world of bullfighting, fishing, hunting and rural life. I’m sorry to say it, but there are politicians who, before passing the law, look at what social networks say, instead of sticking to their conviction. »
He took the opportunity to reaffirm his firm opposition to hunting ban days: “If hunting was banned on Sundays, it would be necessary to explain to the owner [de terrains] that he must give up access to his forest or his fields to walkers… We are touching on the fundamentals of private property. “Before adding:” Many owners tell me “I’m going to put up barriers, barbed wire”. Please note that only 15% of the forest is public. »
The national boss of hunters finally judges that “we are today in a cycle of total madness which wants to cut the human being from his heritage over millions of years”, classifying traditional hunts as art.
