A living nightmare in the Dordogne for "hunting" dogs!
Des chiens de chasse végètent parmi les cadavres de leurs congénères, mais les autorités n’interviennent pas ! Pour elles, ces animaux ne sont que des outils.
We knew that hunting dogs were victims of abuse. Here we are witnesses to the refinement of such cruelty! In the Dordogne, our investigators discovered a hundred beings waiting amongst the dead. Despite our alerts, the hunter who exploits them still has his hands free … We have complained and asked that justice prevails!
On
the surface, there are small whitish looking mounds…. Then bones
emerge from the ground. Those of a canine. The earth contains other
skeletons … It is a mass grave. We are in the Dordogne. A breeder
of hunting dogs’, who is duly protected by those in high places.
Cruelty in practice
In
this kind of farm, a hundred individuals are stored before serving
the local trigger-happy lords. Some are tied up in the mud, others
locked up with their puppies in vans, others still held in unsanitary
premises, when they are not confined in transport cages …
Malnourished, deprived of a free access to water to quench their
thirst, piled up in appalling and illegal sanitary conditions, the
most fragile do not survive. And their derelict remains serve as
meals for their hungry companions.
No to this code of silence!
Faced
with this horror, in absolute violation of the law, we immediately
alerted the authorities. But, as in the cases of other sites that we are fighting against in the same region, our allegations have
remained unheeded. Reason? “No reason to intervene because they
are “just” hunting dogs.” Yes, plain and simple.
Because it appears, once again that, in the minds of some, there are
animals deserving of less consideration and rights than others.
Especially when they are detained by hunters … We protest against
this bias support and of this tolerated suffering! We cannot let guns
rule over the country, nor accept double standards. So, we are
bringing this case to court, many videos to support it, so that
justice can come out from the shadows! This hunter must answer for
his acts of obvious mistreatment (as long as we want to open his
eyes), and we urgently demand the precautionary seizure of the
victims for which this person is responsible for!
