“
If you want to continue with hunting and animal suffering, you have to vote Macron.
If you want to get out of animal suffering, cruel hunts and industrial farming, you have to vote for Jadot
, ”argued the environmental candidate to the press, while the president-candidate was holding his big meeting near Paris.
“
Hunting is totally the opposite of the forces of life, it is the opposite of wonder, of the beauty of nature.
It's a cruel hunt, it's a hunt that makes killing fun
,” said the candidate, credited with 4.5% to 6% in the polls.
For Yannick Jadot "
Macron has always obeyed the hunting lobby
".
"
When you have the boss of the hunting federation, Willy Schraen (...), who announces the program of the outgoing president in terms of hunting, it says how much this five-year term has been built with and for the lobbies, and particularly the hunting lobby
,” he added.
"
We will not be the Republic of lobbies but the Republic of animal welfare, the protection of nature, and the protection of living things and life
," he insisted.
The candidate wants more broadly to "
regulate hunting
", and in particular to prohibit it on weekends and during holidays so that "
everyone can access nature
".
He also opposes “
breeding for hunting.
It's 20 million animals that are killed each year when they leave the cage
, ”he said.
He also denounced "
this government which has not stopped authorizing hunts which were then overturned by the courts because they were protected species
", he assured the demonstrators,
“
We are the forces of life against the instincts of death and therefore necessarily we will win
”, he told the demonstrators, also in the presence of the socialist senator Laurence Rossignol, and several members of the animalist party.
