Question 13701 — hunting and fishing

Summary

Ms. Marion Lenne alerts the Minister of State, Minister of Ecological and Inclusive Transition, about the sharing of public natural space between hunters and walkers. This question is asked on behalf of Mr. Mathieu Clabaut. En hunting period, hunters have access to all public natural spaces except local restrictions. During this period, walkers and athletes are increasingly reluctant to take advantage of these spaces, or even to some give up their hobbies. Indeed, according to figures from the National Hunting and Wildlife Office (ONCFS), since 2000, between 125 and 150 hunting accidents have occurred each year in France. The death of Mark Sutton, a cyclist from Haute-Savoie, caused by a hunter's shot, on October 13, 2018, sadly illustrates once again the dangerousness of this practice. While the debate crystallizes between the anti-hunting on one side and the pro-hunting on the other, consultation remains the most effective way to secure hunting zones and the surroundings of these zones. In addition, for “4-season resorts”, tourism must be able to rhyme with safety. Without denying the 1.2 million French people who hunt each year, arrangements on Saturdays or Sundays would further reassure walkers. For secure cohabitation between hunters and walkers, she asks him what the Government's intentions are to better protect citizens during hunting periods and for details on the strengthening of rural police planned by the Government.
