“A dead wolf teaches nothing to its fellow wolves! »
« A dead wolf teaches nothing to its fellow wolves ! » summarizes Gilles Benest, representative of the SFEPM, in the cluster of associations which defend the wolf. And to invite breeders “ to take a step back » faced with the situation that has worried them since his return. “ It must not be the tree that hides the forest from the problems of agriculture, of which global warming is the main one. »
“We must not lock ourselves into ideological positions”
And to clarify the thinking of the APN with regard to simple defense shots against the predator : « it is an opportunistic animal. Killing him doesn't teach him that he shouldn't predate the herds. On the other hand, if he takes coarse salt in his butt, he will transmit the message to his pack. He must therefore remain alive. Dead, he will be replaced by another wolf, who will be replaced by another wolf, it's endless. »
Recognized environmentalist, Gilles Benest calls for memory : « Lin Franche-Comté, over time, was able to invent forms of democracy that did not exist elsewhere ; notably the fruit farms, which are the fruit of collective reflection. We must be able to manage this together as well, which is why we must not lock ourselves into ideological positions or warlike poses. »
