“I spend my days, my nights watching over my herd, it's not going to last indefinitely.” Pierre Lauraire is demoralized. Since September, his herd, in Chaudeyrac, has been preyed on three times. The last attack was on Wednesday, on a newborn calf. “It's unbearable. We only think about that, we only do that. The risk is that something stupid happens with fatigue, stress.“

For the young farmer, as for the other members of the Rural Coordination (CR) who came to meet the prefect this Friday, December 20, there is no doubt about the culprit: the wolf. However, the attack was not recognized as such. “We were told that the wolf was not excluded, that it was undetermined.“

“We leave the prefecture with no solution”

While Pierre Lauraire will be well compensated, the interview with Gilles Quénéhervé did not satisfy the agricultural union at all. “We leave the prefecture with no solution, declared Hervé Sapet at the end of the meeting. The regulatory framework blocks everything.“

The former president of the CR continues: “As we are coming to the end of the year, we are at the end of the culling shoots. Today the State cannot send a wolf hunter to the farm.“

The CR also wanted to protest against the number of wolves to be culled in 2025, which is insufficient for their taste. “Until this year we had 209 wolves to kill, we fell to 194.“
