The All Saints' Day weekend was hectic for Denis Cocher, administrator of the Deux-Sèvres hunting federation. On the morning of November 2, 2024, he noticed the theft of five of the seven Norman artesian basset hounds that he raises in a kennel located on the outskirts of Aiffres, between Bas-Mairé and Pied-Blanc.

“The wooden cladding of their kennels was torn off, eight of my cubic meters of wood also disappeared and we found tire marks from two vehicles in the field adjoining my kennel”reports the hunter, who filed a complaint that same afternoon with the Frontenay-Rohan-Rohan gendarmerie.

I don't understand how dogs can be stolen and released in the Mendès area, where they could have been crushed.
