Amongst the grievances that we have against this decree, there was the fact that the Prefect hadn’t preceded the publication with a public consultation.
For us, the decree was equally “tarnished by an obvious error of judgement”, it “was/is unaware of the precautionary approach” and was “tarnished by misuse of power”.
For Muriel Arnal, founding president of One Voice:
The Bordeaux Administrative Court has now decided to agree with the rapporteur public’s outcome. This is great news for badgers in Lot-et-Garonne. Effectively, badger diggers, who are allowed to carry out their sinister task from autumn to spring, will no longer be able to do so this summer. So, admittedly, from mid-May to now, it had been possible for them to kill badgers by digging the soft soil of the setts but that is where their gruesome game ends. We are extremely happy with this positive conclusion.
