"My party wants to ban hunting. [...] As part of my mandate [as an MP], I am not calling for a ban on hunting. No, you have not just been the victim of an auditory hallucination. Aymeric Caron pronounced these two sentences well in the same answer. But by removing the context between the two sentences, Deputy Nupes of Paris seems to contradict himself.
Guest of Face aux Territoires, the political program of TV5 Monde, this Thursday, the former journalist answered the question of a reader of 20 Minutes. Xabi asked him: "If you ban hunting, how do you intend to compensate for the damage caused by big game and what will be your measures for Road Safety for which there will be repercussions?"
"It's very moderate, actually what I stand for"
The Green MP confirmed: "First of all, my party wants to ban hunting completely, that's absolutely right. I think that this is an activity that is no longer of our time, which does not correspond to what we know today about animals that are hunted absolutely unnecessarily. And to specify: "As part of my mandate as an MP, on the other hand, I do not call for this absolute ban. Simply because I was not elected on this platform. I was elected on the program of the Nupes which is a program for a horizon that we place at several decades, even several centuries, because we are not crazy and we think that there is before arriving at the end of hunting or the end of breeding, because you can say it, One day we want there to be no more farms in France. We think that one day we will no longer have to eat meat for many reasons: ecological reasons, ethical reasons, in short. But I was not elected on this platform. I was elected on the platform of the Nupes which calls for the end of factory farming, which asks for the end of hunting on weekends. »
Aymeric Caron concluded his speech with a smile and with a "it's very moderate, in fact what I defend".
