Question 15836 — hunting and fishing

Summary

Ms. Élodie Jacquier-Laforge questions the Minister of State, Minister of Ecological and Inclusive Transition, about glue hunting, a hunting technique which consists of capturing birds (mainly thrushes and blackbirds) with glue on sticks or tree branches. Requested by the League for the Protection of Birds (LPO), the Council of State rejected, on December 28, 2018, the request for repeal of the ministerial decree of 17 August 1989 which authorizes, by way of derogation from the 2009 European directive on birds, the trapping of birds with glue in the Alpes de Haute-Provence, Alpes-Maritimes, Bouches-du-Rhône, Var and Vaucluse departments. According to the LPO, 40,000 birds are hunted in this way each year and in a non-selective manner, which is prohibited by the European “birds” directive of 2009 (directive 2009/147/EC). A third of birds disappeared in 15 years in France. She therefore asks him if a regulatory change could take place on this subject, in order to promote the biodiversity of bird populations in the territory and put an end to cruel hunting practices.
