This is a size change that promises to be Sologne and all the large hunting areas closed by high metal hedges. The National Assembly adopted, Thursday, October 6, in the evening, a bill by Richard Ramos, the Loiret MoDem MP, “aimed at limiting the increase in natural spaces and protecting private property”. A vote that collected the unanimity of the 90 voters.
In Sologne, fences, sometimes enhanced with barbed wire to better contain deer, have multiplied in recent years. Between 3,000 and 5,000 kilometers of fences swap this wooded territory and imprison its fauna to allow large landowners to organize closed and sometimes priced hunts, within estates of 200 to 4,000 hectares.
This generalization of fences has moved by the inhabitants of Sologne, whether hunters or simple lovers of Sunday promenade. “These owners have transformed their plots into game traps and Esquinée the vegetation, because of a skillfully maintained animal sweat. It was high time to put a brake on it,” said Raymond Louis, the president of the association Les Friends From the paths of Sologne, who came to Paris for the occasion.
“a balance text”
The text voted on Thursday requires that the fences are “placed 30 centimeters above the ground surface”. Their height must be “limited to 1.20 meters and they cannot be vulnerable or constitute traps for wildlife”. Hunting in enclosure is therefore not over but it will no longer be a question of planting in -depth fences to prevent the slightest marcassin from digging his escape, nor of prohibiting a deer from leaping to run away. “A boar, since he can pass his muzzle from below, will have no problem passing his whole body,” notes Mr. Louis.
Several deputies had submitted more or less ambitious laws to limit this scourge. It was ultimately that of Mr. Ramos who was subject to the vote. “I wanted to take a little bit of these spoiled children with lively ball-trap … Now, wild animals will be able to circulate freely from one private property to another, go below the fences without Taking the legs, getting rid of it is a relief, “says the elected official, son of a Blésois worker, non-chaser but picking amateur to the chanterelles.
