In France, a prisoner who serves a sentence under 2 years can avoid prison and be fitted an electronic tag.
I am so sorry to read this ! Fall hunting seasons over here have not yet started…
In France, before the Revolution, only the nobility were allowed hunting. A privilege. It was a crime for the the rabble to hunt. Therefore those in favour of hunting consider it is one of the basic rights of the french citizen – similar to the argument of those in favour of rifles in the States, I think.
