mustelids for agriculture ... All

Oh, if Uncle Paul had his blog, you'd be informed each day ... while there he must wait until I find the time to move on mine (blog) hers (Posts o))

While the utility has taken up the cause of hunters, [1] the Regional Directorate of Environment, Physical Planning and Housing ( DREAL ) Haute Normandie presented in 2010, the County Commission of Game and Wildlife (CDCF) of the Eure (27), an interesting note on the economic interest of mustelids. [2] The mustelids (Latin mustela meaning weasel) are predators of different sizes (from 20 cm to 1 m) with an elongated body and short legs. And weasels, badgers, ferrets, weasel, ermine, otter, marten, polecat, mink are all mustelids. several of them are regular - and totally illegal - on the list of animals that may be classified by the Prefects harmful to please the lobby of the hunt. Victims of so-called " Roadkill - Animal Mortality and wildlife due to vehicles - and pollution, several entre eux appartiennent à une espèce en voie de régression. Le vison d'Europe notamment est l'un des mammifères les plus en danger sur notre continent. Pour que vous vous sentiez tous en sécurité la nuit dans votre maison et le jour votre jardin, à noter qu'en Isère cet été, au cours d'une battue aux sangliers, menée par un lieutenant de louveterie - fonctionnaire bénévole désigné par le Préfet - les chasseurs ont abattu - avec leur balle de gros calibre - une ânesse tout près d'un bivouac des randonneurs. Quant au propriétaire de l'ânesse tuée, il a déclaré : "à priori, le tir s’est fait de nuit, au phare, mais je ne comprends how one can confuse a donkey and a wild boar. "(See http://www.lepost.fr/article/2010/07/25/2164056_isere-au-cours-d-une-battue-aux- boar-they-shoot-a-anesse.html ).

[1] FRANCE 2 issued a series of 5 infomercials about hunting from Monday 22 to Friday, November 26, 2010 after the newspaper 13h exposing the practices and views of hunters. If the opponents of hunting, had been contacted by Mathieu Niewenglowski, journalist the origin of the story, all were eventually rejected with no reason being given them. As Rally Anti-Hunting ( http://www.antichasse.com/ ) who declared interest in 2005, fight against hunting as that leisure and cons hunting techniques and the association barbarians ASPAS ( http://www.aspas-nature.org/ ) who, without any public subsidy either, work for the protection of wildlife, pour la préservation du patrimoine naturel et pour la défense des droits des usagers de la nature, nous sommes en droit de demander si les chasseurs n'ont pas obtenu des journalistes que la parole leur soit refusée. Pour ceux qui n'ont pas encore fait, vous pouvez écrire au Conseil Supérieur de l'Audiovisuel : http://www.csa.fr/outils/faq/faq.php?id=29554 ).

[2] Note on the economic interests of certain species known as "pests" in Upper Normandy

The Regional Directorate of Environment, Physical Planning and Housing (DREAL) Upper Normandy has presented this year to the County Commission of Game and Wildlife (CDCF) of the Eure (27), a note interesting on the economic interest of mustelids.

This note highlights, by encrypting the interests of mustelids in economic terms. For the department of Eure, the fact of trapping mustelids costs 105,000 Euros to agriculture due to the indirect protection of "pests" of cultures.

argument that all Associations of Conservation putting forth for years, unsuccessfully, to seek the protection of mustelids as protective cultures is first encrypted and used by a State Services, which are usually terrified by hunters and trappers who do not like coming to the list of animals " harmful ".

That brave officer says aloud what hunters and trappers do not want to hear could not leave them indifferent. Thus, hunters Eure appreciate only moderately this study, nor that pervades their passion for the regulation ...

" Instead of helping us in our management approach, we are being gently but surely sticks in the wheels. Predators are increasingly protected and at the last county council is (new fact) an officer of the DREAL who told us with a rarely achieved sufficiency, instead of classifying the weasel and the weasel among species harmful, we should have long been protected because it is very useful for the limitation of rodents. You heard right "We should protect the stone marten and weasel" because she eats more than mouse game. When we talked about predation on game and on small farms in the ferret, we were told it was "better shut up" the chickens in the barns and the squints could no longer eat . "

You can download here the full text of this study on the economic DREAL mustelids demonstrating que :

1. La santé et la sécurité publique ne sont pas menacées par les mustélidés
2. Non seulement les dommages importants aux activités agricoles, forestières et aquacoles ne sont pas prouvés, mais il vient d’être démontré que les bénéfices apportés par la présence de ces espèces sont bien supérieurs aux dégâts qui leur sont soi-disant attribués.
3. Les mustélidés ne portent atteinte ni à la faune, ni à la flore. Bien au contraire, en régulant les populations des ravageurs cultures, they provide a protective role and contribute to the overall balance of the environment.
4. The classification of these species as "vermin" would be contrary to legislation. The Prefectural Order classification pest could therefore not have the legal basis sufficient to support a lawsuit brought by an association for the protection of nature.

In conclusion, and for failing detailed study showing that the negative impact of one or the other of these species on human activity is much greater than the benefit of their mere presence, DREAL, affirming the role of benefactor and protector of crops mustelids, requests that the trapping and hunting of these four species are no longer allowed in the Department of the Eure and the species concerned are no longer classified as "harmful." The DREAL also asks that this positive role is not failing to report the County Commission of Game and Wildlife.
