We know how hunting is a divisive subject.

Well, a hunting practice could still fan the flame of its opponents: enclosure hunting, which consists of raising game in a fenced property in order to facilitate its elimination by a group of “guest” hunters.

For Raymond Louis, founder of the association Les amis des chemins de Sologne (and himself a “traditional” hunter), this practice is similar to “organized slaughter: the animals, wild boar and deer, are locked up and fed between very high fences;

they are therefore half-domesticated by those who will slaughter them later”.

Real ecological issues

In addition to its cruelty, this practice would pose real ecological problems by hindering the natural movement of animals outside enclosures and by threatening groundwater (due to the creation of wild mass graves).
