Wolves in danger: One Voice's national mobilisation on 22 November
Their names are Milo and Mina. They live in the Corrèze region and have had cubs. A discreet family with an exceptional genetic heritage, now threatened with death. While the government wants to make it easier to shoot wolves, and lobbyists are calling for their extermination, a national mobilisation is being organised. On 22 November, voices will be raised across France to defend the wolves.
A fast-track policy of destruction
Last September, the French government announced its intention to simplify the procedures for shooting wolves. Behind these technocratic words lies a brutal reality: to kill more easily, more quickly and with fewer controls. This headlong rush deliberately ignores the fundamental rights of sentient animals, scientific data, solutions for coexistence and ecological issues.
In the same spirit, several agricultural and hunting organisations have intensified their pressure. In the Corrèze region, home to Milo, Mina and their cubs, voices were raised calling for a hunt, with a barely concealed objective: to make this family disappear before they could settle permanently. Our mobilisation led to its cancellation.
22 and 23 November, throughout France
Faced with this political violence, pressure from lobbyists and the State’s failure to fulfil its duty to protect biodiversity, we refuse to remain silent.
Over the weekend of 22 and 23 November*, a coordinated national action will bring together around fifteen activist groups throughout France. In Amancy, Bar-le-Duc, Bordeaux, Brive-la-Gaillarde, Fréjus, La Rochelle, Marseille, Metz, Montpellier, Nice, Paris, Troyes** and many other cities, rallies, symbolic actions, distribution of information and happenings will take place to remind people that wolves have the right to live in peace.
We will not let the worst happen. Because Milo, Mina, their cubs —and all the others— deserve better than a complicit silence.
* Dates, addresses and times of the events are available by clicking on the name of each city.
** Exceptionally, the action planned in Troyes will take place on 15 November.
