A dozen wild boars were found dead, after being pursued, struck or deliberately crushed by one or more vehicles, reports

Vosges Matin

.

Facts which occurred the day before the opening of the hunt in the department.

The members of the Vosges hunting federation, very upset against such acts, made a video of the corpses posted on the Internet in order to denounce the facts.

Video where a hunter, disgusted, shows in detail the injuries inflicted on wild boars.

If the latter says he is well aware of the damage that wild boars can cause and the need to have to regulate their presence, he recalls that this is done by hunting, with rules.

“There are rules so that we value game meat, that we feed lots of people with this activity which is healthy, a cultural heritage and today this is what happens, a rodeo!

"

The Vosges hunting federation lodged a complaint.
