According to Mrs. Bardot, hunters are planning to create chaos in a “family” place, where 100 deer, including babies born last spring, will be “massacred in the heart of a beautiful environment”.
About this potential deer hunt, it would be done with a crossbow, a hunting technique that is banned in France because it is very dangerous. Especially since the animal is not guaranteed to be killed in the immediate future.
Let’s remember that the city of Longueuil wishes to authorize crossbow hunting in Michel-Chartrand Park with the objective of killing a hundred deer to avoid overpopulation.
