Bird trapping with glue, illegal possession and release of wild animals… Two men brought to justice
Wildlife

In Carcès (Var), two men were questioned for possessing about twenty turtles and wild birds, some of which belonged to protected species, without any authorization. In addition to keeping these animals in captivity, several of which were seized in a worrying condition, they are accused of capturing them in the wild, in particular using glue traps, and of releasing individuals of invasive alien species. We hope for an exemplary verdict at the end of the hearing, which will be held at the Draguignan legal tribunal on September 4 at 8:45 a.m.

Just as others collect stamps, these residents of Carcès kept around twenty wild animals in their home. A complaint from the Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur Bird Protection League (LPO) prompted the French Biodiversity Agency (OFB) to launch an investigation into what was going on in this house. The search carried out on site in November 2024 speaks for itself: no fewer than 22 Hermann’s tortoises, two Asian rose-ringed parakeets, a grosbeak, a European greenfinch, and a song thrush were seized. And they are not the only ones to have fallen into the hands of these individuals.

Abuse and irresponsibility

How did all these animals end up in their captivity? Although the defendants deny having captured any birds in the wild, explaining that they “found them […] on the ground, injured or in poor condition” and took them in to care for them, the findings of the investigation formally contradict their statements. Traces of glue were found on the birds’ feathers, an undeniable sign that they had struggled in birdlime, an extremely cruel hunting technique which, in addition to injuring its targets, is completely non-selective. One might also question the so-called care they were supposedly given, given their dire condition at the time of the search. One had wounds above its beak, a second had a locked up shoulder and a large bruise, and a third had all the quills on its right wing broken, among other injuries. This calls into question the qualities of their “caretakers”…

Did they also think they were doing the right thing by releasing rose-ringed parakeets and red-eared sliders, classified as invasive alien species, into the wild, which is strictly prohibited? What became of them, left to fend for themselves in an environment that was not their own and whose ecosystem they would inevitably disrupt?

These are sentient beings, not trophies or commodities!

For more than ten years, one of the defendants had been posting photos of himself on social media with a kite, squirrels, falcons, and many others. Once again, humans have messed around by subjugating wild animals on a whim, like Akilla‘s “owner”, and at the risk of their lives. While the birds and turtles locked up in Carcès over the years do not appear to have been victims of trafficking in addition to everything else, this is far from always being the case in these dark affairs. Wildlife trafficking is one of the most lucrative illegal trades, along with drugs and weapons. And it is the animals that pay the price. We will not tolerate them continuing to suffer this fate with impunity.

We will be present as a civil party at the hearing to be held at the Draguignan legal tribunal September 4 at 8:45 a.m. We expect the judges to defend all wild animals that have been illegally captured, transported, confined, and released.

Other campaign or multi-campaigns of One Voice

The Place de la Concorde is set to become a place for promoting horse racing to children. With attendance levels declining, the sector is trying to charm young audiences in particular in order to inspire vocations—which remain professional animal abuse—and win new addicts. By authorizing this event, the capital is moving far away from the principles of its “Charter for Animal Welfare”. One Voice reminds us that behind the illusory promises of profit, there is still just as much animal and human misery. We are calling out to the city council.

An unacceptable charm “offensive”

On September 5 and 6, France Galop, race organizer and co-owner of the PMU, will offer a promotional event in the heart of the capital, disguised as a “big popular festival open to all and completely free”.

This lobby—which is very active, with programs on channels targeting young people or specializing in sports, and confident of its protection—openly announces its ambition to “win over new audiences”. It has support in high places, as we recently condemned, with even the government mobilizing, concerned about the risk of a decline in betting.

It is inconceivable to organize “fun” activities and demonstrations to recruit young minds into this environment that exploits living beings pushed to the extreme. Finally, what can be said about such promotion of gambling, a source of addiction and excessive debt?

The methods of horse exploitation: a carefully maintained opacity

Submission and pressure to perform are constant. Scandals involving doping and mutilation for profit are legion. In this environment, there is no consideration for these sentient beings, from their forced conception to their premature death.

The industry, with a turnover of ten billion euros, does not want citizens to be aware of the heavy toll it takes on horses.

The proof is that the only figure available, obtained “through insistence” by the newspaper Libération, is as follows: in 2019, 135 horses died during competition. This figure has remained stable for thirty years, representing approximately 4,000 deaths over this period.

Added to this are the horses slaughtered after races, those injured or exhausted, those that are unprofitable, which disappear into the food sector (representing 52% of those killed for their meat in France)…

One Voice calls out Paris City Council!

Why did the municipality authorize this immoral advertisement in one of our country’s most iconic public squares? This approval clearly contradicts its ambitions as voted on in an explicit charter. We are writing to the mayor and her team.

Join us in demanding that horses be granted the status of pets.

Investigation in Freneuse: horses left to fend for themselves in a field of misery
Autre campagne de l’association (ou multiples)

Alerted by reports and the mayor of Freneuse (Yvelines), One Voice investigators discovered several horses, including a young foal, deprived of basic care. Their distress is not new. It is evidence of systematic neglect, rooted in the practices of their owner, a professional horse dealer. The residents, who are very concerned, are getting organised to help them. We are filing a complaint.

Under the sun, a daily ordeal. The report we received described emaciated horses desperately trying to drink from troughs that contained more algae than water.

Our investigators, who were immediately dispatched to the scene, discovered animals left in the blazing sun. With high temperatures forecast for the coming days, their ordeal is far from over: they appear to have no shelter or protection from the heat and insects, while the person who trades in them remains completely indifferent. In the yellowed pastures, the only fodder provided is thanks to the generosity of shocked neighbours who are trying to ensure their survival with the means at their disposal.

An orphaned foal, a forgotten mare, a field turned into a tomb

In this enclosure, the decomposing body of a mare remained exposed for several days before the town council finally had it removed –alerted not by the owner, but by residents inconvenienced by the smell.

A frail foal, clearly orphaned, wanders around, agitated. His mother had apparently been euthanised recently (based on what we know about the abandoned carcass, there is some doubt about the relationship between them…) At his age, the lack of mother’s milk or an equine wet nurse seriously compromises his health and therefore his chances of survival.

Further away, another horse is walking around with a broken halter, an additional danger for an already weakened animal…

Maximised profitability: mistreatment as an economic model

This situation is not an isolated case: it is the direct consequence of a commercial system in which equines are seen as a commodity. Reducing expenses is essential in such a mindset. Nothing is maintained, starting with their hooves. Veterinary care? Doubtful! Several reports of stray horses belonging to this horse dealer have been filed in the past.

This trade continues with virtual impunity. Hidden from view, far from legislative concerns, our representatives tolerate it and turn a blind eye. The result: sentient beings are mistreated, exploited, resold, too often in a pitiful state. For them, we shall not remain silent.

Similar cases are all too common: our action to help the victims

While waiting for an operational response from the authorities, once again it is the solidarity of citizens that must be applauded. Village residents and local elected officials are taking turns to bring some respite to these horses.

This case is just the tip of the iceberg. All over France, equines suffer amid almost total indifference. Just a few weeks ago, in another case, we reached out to the courts: one horse had been left for dead tied to a tractor…

Faced with this scandal, One Voice is filing a complaint against the dealer with the gendarmerie in Bonnières-sur-Seine. The courts must prosecute this abuser quickly and formally prohibit her from engaging in any activity involving animals.

Enough suffering! Let’s demand real protection for equines

As long as horses do not enjoy the same status as dogs and cats, as long as their commercial exploitation takes precedence over their welfare, these tragedies will continue to happen. To defend them, join us in demanding a legislative reform.

Traditional wood pigeon hunting has been criticized by the European Commission and must be abolished!

Traditional wood pigeon hunting has been criticized by the European Commission and must be abolished!
Wildlife

On February 12, 2025, the European Commission referred to the Court of Justice of the European Union. The reason? In the South of France, hunters persist in killing wood pigeons with non-selective “pantes” and “pantières” (nets), the use of which is prohibited by the Birds Directive. We are once again taking a stand and calling for the repeal of the ministerial decrees authorizing these practices in five departments.

In the Landes, Lot-et-Garonne, Gers, Gironde, and Pyrénées-Atlantiques regions, wood pigeons, attracted by the cries of other wood pigeons used as decoys, find themselves trapped in nets. When the trap reopens, it is only to allow their tormentors to finish them off. This “traditional” form of hunting is, however, banned throughout the European Union. So much so that every year since 2021, we have obtained from the Council of State the cancellation of the decrees authorizing capture using “pantes” and “matoles” (cages) in the region. The court rulings are clear: these methods are not selective and there are satisfactory alternatives. There is therefore no reason for them to be exempt. The European Commission, which had already issued a formal notice to France in 2019, has just reiterated this by taking further action against wood pigeon hunting.

The State and hunters are swimming against the flow…

Hunting with glue was declared illegal by the Council of State in 2021, and the use of “tendelles” (stone traps) was definitively banned in 2023… Thanks to the dozens of legal actions we have taken, traditional hunting practices are in the hot seat more than they ever were before. Much to the chagrin of trigger-happy hunters, who never tire of crying foul. Trapping wood pigeons, at the risk of injuring other birds, whatever they may say, is “in their DNA”, no less! And their cruel hobby should take precedence over everything else… These whims are supported by the State, which prefers gun owners and their hobby to nature, to the point of inventing the most absurd pretexts to revive these practices from another time…

… against animals already in decline

Birds are threatened on all sides: pesticides, insect increasing scarcity, urbanization, habitat loss… In nearly forty years, a quarter of these animals have disappeared from Europe. In November 2024, we even learned of the first extinction of a continental bird in the geographical area covering Europe, North Africa, and Western Asia: that of the slender-billed curlew. The collapse of biodiversity has never been so tangible. And those who have only one desire, to empty the sky of its survivors, dare to proclaim themselves defenders of nature! This deadly cynicism must stop.

For wood pigeons, which are now the only birds still captured using “pantes” and “pantières” in France, we are asking the ministry to put an end to this practice. If they refuse, we will take the matter to the Council of State. Join your voice to ours by signing our petition for a radical reform of hunting!

CNRS to become national supplier of macaques for laboratories? One Voice opposes the plan
Animal testing

The French National Center for Scientific Research (CNRS) has decided to transform the Rousset primatology center into a national primate breeding facility with a capacity of 2,000 individuals. This project reduces animals to mere tools in the service of a lucrative system, in total contradiction with European commitments to reduce animal experimentation. Faced with this abuse, One Voice is mobilizing to prevent this expansion.

Funded by taxpayers up to €30 million, the future National Primatology Center already planned last fall to “produce 40% of the French academic research needs for cynomolgus macaques”. In its eagerness to turn the current Rousset station into a veritable primate factory, the CNRS has already revised its announced goal upwards. According to the president of the GIRCOR, the experimentation lobby, it now plans to supply 50% of these animals… and 100% of rhesus macaques. This means that three times as many monkeys will have to be bred in Rousset to undergo experiments in France… or be sold across Europe to suffer the same fate outside our borders.

Unspeakable suffering for endangered monkeys

To make this lucrative business work, the CNRS has joined forces with Mauritian farms that capture long-tailed macaques, also known as cynomolgus macaques, in the wild to use them for breeding, as our investigation has revealed. In doing so, it is directly involved in the trafficking of these animals, which are classified as “endangered” on the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List of Threatened Species… and which continue to be the most widely used primate species for testing, with no fewer than 3,077 individuals experimented on in France in 2023. Virus inoculation, cranial implants, endless injections and tests… the list of horrors to which these animals are subjected is endless.

Financial interests come first

Since 2020, France has been responsible for more than half of the monkeys used in European laboratories. And it has no intention of stopping there. Contrary to the recommendations of the European Directive, which unambiguously recommends reducing the number of animals, it is investing heavily in this outdated model. The CNRS intends to perpetuate this under the pretext of national sovereignty. The suffering of animals is irrelevant. The existence of reliable alternative methods, which are simply waiting to be funded, is irrelevant. As long as the laboratories are running, the experimenters persist—against all common sense.

As we successfully opposed the construction of a primatology center in Holtzheim, Alsace, and the expansion of dog breeding facilities in Mézilles and Gannat, we are now mobilizing against the CNRS project in Rousset.

Say no to the national primatology center and join us on August 27 at our information kiosk at Place Paul Borde in Rousset.

Cirque Muller: still illegal, still just as indecent for animals
Exploitation pour le spectacle

Once again, the circus ‘Cirque Muller’ has set up camp and is flouting the law. Infringements, animal abuse and outdated displays being offered under the hypocritical guise of “entertainment”. Despite the ban, baby tigers have been born, while an endangered monkey is forced to ride on the back of a pony in the ring. Jumbo languishes in a tiny tub of stagnant water, a symbol of the authorities’ inaction. We have once again referred the matter to the authorities, calling for strict controls followed by exemplary punishment.

A circus with a ghostly existence, set up without rights or respect

It was in the car park of a shopping area in Arles that the ‘Grand Cirque Zavatta’ popped up, without authorisation and against the wishes of the local population, for a series of performances from 22 July to 1 August. Behind this false façade, with no legal existence, is the Muller family, infamous for its constant disregard for the law.

Despite a complaint from local shopkeepers supported by the mayor of Arles, Patrick de Carolis, the circus was able to perform. By the time the courts reacted, the circus performers had had plenty of time to dismantle their equipment, flee and start again elsewhere, with complete impunity.

Illegally born tiger cubs, destined to suffer

In a trailer at the back of the circus, three young tigers, just a few months old. Their very existence is an offence: since December 2023, the breeding of wild animals in travelling circuses has been banned. These cubs were not born by accident: they were born to be trained, exhibited and broken. Like the lion cubs of the Claudio Zavatta circus, they embody a deadly trend tolerated by a complicit State.

In 2028, the exploitation of non-domestic species is set to end. But what about until then? These young felines will have known nothing but cages, coercion and fear. By perpetuating these illegal births, the Muller family is increasing the number of living beings that we will one day have to rescue from exploitation. The State turns a blind eye. The sanctuaries are already overflowing.

Humiliation in the ring: a Barbary ape, threatened with extinction, harnessed to a pony, Jumbo still being tormented

The height of abjection is reached under the big top. A Barbary macaque —on the red list of endangered species*, dressed in grotesque trousers, is tied to the back of a pony forced to run round and round the track. This scene, which some still call a ‘show’, is a caricature of animal humiliation. Meanwhile, children laugh. They are being taught that causing suffering can be fun.

And then there is Jumbo, whom One Voice has been tirelessly following for ten years. Confinement, isolation: the complaints and reports keep coming in. His living conditions, which are illegal for a hippopotamus, have never changed. Until recently, he was stuck in a tub of stagnant, stinking water under the blazing sun. He is dragged into the ring by force. The director, with chilling irony, boasts of his ability to run at 50 km/h and face crocodiles. Then he mentions the ‘beauty’ of his skin. Is this what we want to convey? That suffering sells, as long as it shines under a spotlight? And that stagnant water is an unknown beauty secret?

The Mullers had already moved back to Uzès at the beginning of August. We have reported these alarming findings and clear violations to the prefectures of the regions of Bouches-du-Rhône and Gard, calling for inspections followed by exemplary punishment.

Let us demand an immediate end to this disgrace.

Let us save Jumbo after 40 years of captivity! Join us in calling for his urgent transfer to a sanctuary.

And let us demand even more: sign the petition for a total ban on animals in circuses. This fight is not a whim. It is a moral necessity.

Reopening of the hunt: the Ministry of Ecology approves the killing of 10,560 turtle doves

Reopening of the hunt: the Ministry of Ecology approves the killing of 10,560 turtle doves
Animaux sauvages

After a suspension in 2024, the Ministry of Ecological Transition plans to reopen the hunt for turtle doves. Citing an improvement in their numbers, it plans to send over 10,560 individuals to their death, once again giving in to hunters. This is a real step backwards for these birds whose species is not faring well. Today, One Voice is calling for the immediate removal of turtle doves from the list of huntable species.

Efforts to protect turtle doves reduced to nothing

10,560 turtle doves are going to lose their lives to bullets. Classified as ‘vulnerable’, they have enjoyed a brief respite in recent years, following a massive campaign against hunting them, which led the Council of State to impose a complete ban. This year, the Ministry of Ecology has backtracked and approved their killing in the name of a supposed improvement in their population. This is an unacceptable step backwards and yet another example of how the State promotes this destructive practice.

The quota set is nothing more than a smokescreen. Rather than protecting sentient beings, the authorities are once again legitimising a leisure activity from another era, under the constant influence of the hunting lobby. While guns are being loaded, animal life and ecological arguments are being relegated to the background.

Yet for many years the IUCN has been warning that the pursuit of this activity during migration is one of the most significant threats facing these birds, not to mention pollution, forest fires, heat waves and massive urbanisation.

A persistent threat ignored

Turtle doves still do not have the right to live in peace. Banning shooting would be an essential measure to prevent their disappearance, but the government continues to turn a blind eye. Behind false pretexts, it authorises the slaughter of thousands of birds, sometimes using particularly cruel methods. No questions are being asked despite the less than mixed results of the European Commission’s actions to protect animals and nature as a whole.

To oppose this draft ministerial decree, we invite you to make your disapproval known before 22 August, and to sign the petition to protect endangered bird species and ban systematic slaughter!

Exploitation for shows

At the beginning of August 2025, vacationers and residents of Montivilliers shopping in the commercial zone of this Normandy town were ordered to return immediately to their cars or enter the stores: three tigers were no longer in their cages, two of which were playing by the side of the road. Too busy fighting over a piece of plastic, they did not realize they were “free”. The third was wandering around, not far from the camels…

Irresponsibility as a way of life

A deadly danger awaited them all. The humans, of course, because these big cats, even though young and docile, are still wild animals and large predators. Although they do not know how to hunt, their instinct remains, and a “game” of chase, for example, could very quickly end badly.

If they had jumped over the barrier of barely 1.2 meters that separated them from the road, the situation could have ended tragically. With stretchers and ambulances for some, and guns and a knacker’s truck for others, as Mévy sadly experienced not so long ago in Paris.

Animal misery, a goldmine for circus owners

In the neighboring cage, a lioness paces back and forth in the presence of a male and appears to be expecting a litter, despite the legal ban on breeding in traveling circuses passed in 2021.

generics.video.play

Intimidation, a modus operandi…

Yet this is an everyday scene for the Franco-Belge Circus, which has established itself on site without any authorization and plans to remain in this commercial zone until August 17.

On social media, circus performers downplay the situation for which they are responsible and, as usual, message those who denounce it to threaten them.

Our complaint is currently being drafted

One Voice is once again filing a complaint against the trainer and owner of the Franco-Belge Circus, Serge Muller, and is requesting the urgent seizure of all the animals.

We sincerely thank the witnesses who alerted us to this situation for their reports, and we call on the general public to join us in this fight against the captivity, exploitation, transport, and training of animals, both wild and domestic.

Call to action: oppose the return of traditional lark hunting!
Animaux sauvages

Once again, the government is attempting to authorise traditional lark hunting in south-western France despite systematic nullifications by the courts. The State’s disregard for animals’ rights and lives is unacceptable. Faced with the unlimited influence of the hunting lobby, we must mobilise massively against this scandal. To make our indignation heard, let’s participate by the thousands in the consultation on the draft decree that will authorise these killings and set the quotas for larks for the coming year!

Barbaric and illegal practices that the courts have been condemning for years

Hunting with nets involves nets that close violently on the larks attracted by the cries of some of their fellow birds used as decoys. The poor birds are then picked up by hand and killed one by one. This practice from another age serves no purpose other than to entertain a minority. Nothing can justify it: neither tradition nor culture. It is gratuitous suffering and death inflicted on sentient beings.

For years, at the request of One Voice and the LPO (League for the Protection of Birds), the courts have been nullifying the capture permits. Including when prefects attempt to quietly reintroduce them as part of pseudo-‘experiments’ entrusted to… hunters. All these decisions, from the Court of Justice of the European Union to the Council of State, should set a legal precedent. However, the government remains stubborn. Just when we thought they had been buried for good, the Ministry of Ecology is preparing to reauthorise these practices in four regions (Gironde, Landes, Lot-et-Garonne and Pyrénées-Atlantiques).

The government, an active accomplice of hunters

This is no longer a matter of ignorance or error, but of methodical determination. These draft decrees embody a clear desire to satisfy private interests to the detriment of animals, the French people, 83% of whom opposed them (Ipsos/One Voice poll, October 2022), the law and justice.

The government is once again betraying its role as guardian of the public interest, as it often does when the issue is protecting the environment and biodiversity. As it did a few days ago when it backed down on plans to suspend the hunting of endangered bird species, it is once again giving in to the blackmail of a vocal minority, armed with guns, who refuse to give up their most archaic practices. This political stubbornness is an insult to animals, democracy and the rule of law.

Larks should not have to die to entertain a few thrill-seeking men. Let’s demand the immediate withdrawal of these decrees! Let’s participate massively in the public consultation to say no to cruelty. And sign, so that together we can put an end to this unspeakable shame.

Rare birth of wolf cubs on the Millevaches plateau: a living treasure threatened by poaching
Wildlife

Last May, the wolf couple Milo and Mina gave birth to four cubs on the Millevaches plateau. Their genetic heritage is unique in France. This piece of news is an exceptional opportunity for nature. But this is no time for celebration: despite their protected status, the threat of poaching looms and decrees authorizing shooting have been issued even though the breeding season is underway. One Voice has written to the prefects of the Corrèze, Nouvelle Aquitaine, Rhône, and Auvergne-Rhône Alpes regions, as well as to the prefect responsible for the wolf plan, asking them to take urgent action and demanding concrete measures to protect livestock rather than killing these parents. The association is even offering financial assistance to implement effective protection measures.

generics.video.play There is no doubt that Mina, Milo, and their cubs are in imminent danger, between the lieutenants of louveterie and pests being on the lookout and the poachers emboldened by the prefecture’s decrees to kill wolves. Their very existence bothers those who want to take over nature and “clean it up,” as they repeat ad nauseam.

We will stop at nothing to defend these wonders and our ecosystems, which wolves take such good care of. Reaching out to our opponents is not a problem when it comes to preserving our fragile common good and working to find solutions that benefit everyone. Muriel Arnal President of One Voice

An exceptional and threatened litter

According to our partner Carduelis, from whom we have obtained this information, four cubs were born to this biologically remarkable couple. The prefecture has just confirmed this in the press. Their lineage is unparalleled in our country. This is an invaluable opportunity for wolves in particular and wild animals in general.

However, this promise of renewal is already compromised. The climate of tension and the shooting authorized by the prefecture through no less than 30 decrees are jeopardizing their existence. Tonight, more than 15 decrees authorizing shooting until December (here and there) have just been adopted, adding to the previous ones. We are currently analyzing their content with a view to taking action against them if need be.

That is why this piece of news, however good it may be, had not been announced until now. This is an absurd situation, given that the law requires them to be preserved.

Mobilization in the streets of Tulle and Brive-la-Gaillarde

Faced with this emergency, committed citizens have gathered on several occasions at our call. In Tulle on March 19 and on May 14, as well as in Brive-la-Gaillarde last Thursday, activists from One Voice and its partners sought to raise awareness among the population and remind them that the presence of wolves in the area is a natural right. Through these visible actions, we denounce the inaction of public authorities who systematically choose shooting over a genuine policy of coexistence that respects all living beings, as is practiced in other countries.

A clear request, concrete support

One Voice is sending a letter to the prefects concerned to put an end to the culling as soon as possible. At the same time, the association is calling for immediate action to enable farmers to protect their herds, considering the State is supposed to provide them assistance. This is the only way to prevent illegal acts against wolves.

The lives of Milo and Mina’s cubs are a national treasure. Their protection is a collective responsibility. One Voice calls for a suspension of all shooting and for the law to be enforced in favor of a species that, today more than ever, needs our commitment. In this fight, support us so that wolves can finally be treated with respect!
