Saturday morning, the rally of Brittany and the Breton hunters were gathered in Paimpont on the occasion of Saint-Hubert. In front of them, a hundred or so demonstrators came to disrupt this traditional festival.
This Saturday, November 3, the hunters celebrated Saint-Hubert in Paimpont, in Ille-et-Vilaine.
A hundred opponents of the hunt showed their opposition to the hooliganism cries "killers! "Criminals". They denounce an act "barbaric, cruel, anachronistic, gratuitous, sadistic".
Not enough to impress the hunters who followed their ceremonial as if nothing had happened.
For them, hunting is primarily a history of tradition, respect for rural life. He is far from the world of lords on horseback, brocarded by the opponents.
"It's a dialogue of the deaf, recognizes François Beaupied, regional manager of the society of venery. Opponents do not listen to us, do not want to hear us. They are in an antispecial posture. They are people who know nothing about the rural world and its traditions. The hunt contributes to the life of the forest.
