At the end of July, the Seine-Maritime prefecture issued an order authorizing the slaughter of 1,430 foxes in the department by December 31, 2020. A legal battle has been engaged against the order, but animal protection associations do not not want to stop there.

A rally is organized on September 2 at 2:30 p.m. in front of the administrative court of Rouen. An hour later, a new hearing will take place before the administrative court regarding the slaughter order, reports 76actu .

"This is the last chance"

The prefectural decree had been the subject of a first summary suspension, filed by the One Voice association. This was rejected by the administrative court on August 20. In the process, the associations Aves France, Aspas, the League for the protection of birds (LPO) of Normandy and the Norman mammalogical group filed a new appeal.

"We intend to show that the citizens of Seine-Maritime are concerned", declared the president of Aves France, quoted by 76actu . “With the first referral that was rejected, people got interested and they now know it's the last chance. "

For its part, the Brigitte Bardot foundation addressed itself directly to the prefect through the voice of its president. "Monsieur le préfet, do not condemn to death 1,430 victims of an assassin lobby", asks Brigitte Bardot in a press release. "Otherwise I will denounce you with a scandalous rant that will not bring you luck."
