Opinion on banning the breeding of animals for hunting France 2021

In France, each year, a significant number of animals are bred and then released on the opening day of the hunting season to be killed. More than half of the population (55 percent) would be in favor of banning this practice.
Hunting (and certain types of hunting in particular) is the subject of criticism from associations and individuals concerned with ethical behavior towards animals.
