Delphine Wespiser did not remain indifferent to the images of a deer being chased by hunters on Tuesday January 12, 2021. The animal, weakened, had taken refuge on the train tracks of Chantilly station (Oise). On the set of Do not touch My TV Thursday, January 14, 2021, Delphine Wespiser, always very touching in her words, condemned this practice. She remembered her hunter grandfather, whom she made promise not to shoot at animals on his outings.
The coveted columnist begins to explain: "This is something that touches me a lot, I am a hunter's granddaughter, my grandfather was the person I loved the most in the world and every time he went hunting I would ask him not to shoot for me. Sometimes he did, sometimes he didn't", she recalls, revolted that such a practice may still be relevant in 2021. "But I find that today in 2021 (….) I find that young people can still support this, it disgusts me, I'm sorry (…) it is useless (…) it's sadism in fact ".
"Your testimony is incredible"
A strong testimony that touched the other chroniclers present on the set. Cyril Hanouna reacted in these terms: "There are a lot of people on social media who are in Delphine's state, who are in tears, who are in tears after seeing these images and Delphine, your testimony is incredible. " Isabelle Morini-Bosc, always very cash, also condemned hunting with hounds: "I saw a hunt with hounds I agree on the regulation (…) that does not take away from the fact that it is an elitist hunt, that the animal is totally panicked by the noises, that the dogs are driven mad (…) I saw a deer break its legs in front of me, it was awful ", she remembers, also with great emotion. According to a survey published on the show's social media, 84% of people who responded were in favor of stopping the hunting with hounds.
