French Ecology Minister Elisabeth Borne has just signed 11 cabinet orders authorising ‘traditional hunting’ methods including limesticks, horsehair snares and matoles in several french departments. The French 2019-2020 hunting season permits the trapping of more than 150000 wildbirds: so much for the French posture of being 'civilized'. Then again, the eating of Ortolans still continues, albeit in somewhat clandestine fashion.
