Amazement seized the local residents present on Thursday, October 29 in Pont-Sainte-Maxence. That day, in the town of Oise, a hunt had been organized.
A deer, pursued by dogs, had crossed a river before taking refuge under a pontoon. Its run had ended when hunters shot the animal in the head despite protests from walkers.
” And this scene of horror unfolded in front of horrified passers-by, who tried to protect the poor beast. A fisherman heard “bend down, we’re going to shoot”, before witnessing the scene. He also tells that it is a path in which there are always children walking, playing and riding their bikes. “, can we read on the petition posted online.
