The death of a bear, slaughtered in Ariège at the beginning of the month, rekindled the tensions between supporters and opponents of the plantigrade. On Saturday, in peace, a hundred activists demonstrated in Foix to reiterate their support for the presence of the wild animal on the massif.
The mobilization follows the launch of a reward of 30,000 euros from the NGO Sea Shepherd for any information allowing to advance the investigations of the gendarmerie to find the author of the fatal shooting.
A "call to denial" that goes wrong. As well with the president of the Departmental Council who took a position against, as on the side of the breeders. The latter decided to reply. The shepherd's response to the association also goes through a fundraiser, but this time "against manhunt in the Pyrenees".
“The multimillionaire association Sea Shepherd, whose president in exile in France flees international justice, comes to advertise in the Pyrenees. It launched a manhunt with a denial bonus of € 35,000 to those who denounce the alleged shooter of the bear shot dead in the mountains in June 2020 ", explains the Association for the Protection of Ariège Heritage- Pyrenees (Aspap), spearhead of the fight against the reintroduction of plantigrade.
"Environmental environmental legal offense"
“This bear story goes too far. This reintroduction is a poison for the Pyrenees. No, you won't get anything from the Ariégeois, nor from the Pyrenees! On the contrary, your procedures worthy of the war of 39-40 will still cement the indivisible solidarity of the mountain people ", they plead on helloasso to" give the means to the Aspap to defend those who would be victims of the environmental environmental legal vindictiveness "
