Wallabies find new home in the wild in France

[@kaynemunday4002]

They don't just live in Tasmania they live all over Australia

This population are Tasmanian Bennets Wallabies.

So in France, if it's not expressly permitted, then it's forbidden.

Quite the opposite: If it is not forbidden, then it is allowed.

+jetaddicted G'day, Forgive the observation, but the simple point that the Wallaby Colony has been there for over 40 years, and their ONLY Predators are the Fire-Chariots on the Tarmac Arena - surrounding the Forest within which they're living...; rather goes to prove the falsity of your assertion. If not being mentioned specifically at law meant that it was legal to shoot them then they would have been shot to local extinction decades ago...., that's the underlying fact ; which your assertion fails to account for. My guess is that in France, as in many nations, their Gun-Laws consist of a categorized paradigm of Paperwork in which each bit of Paper PERMITS certain specified and limited actions (ie the owning or possession and use of this, that or the other...; the hunting of this, that, or the other..., etc). So, unless the French have a bit of Paper already existant within their Beaurocracy which can be issued to authorise a nominated CitiZen to use a specific type of Weapon while hunting a specific species of Game, during a particar time-period ("in-Season"...) ; then it is illegal to use anything to try to kill the aforesaid Animal. For example, if anyone had a Shotgun Licence for Clay Targets and they toddled off into the Forest on the weekend, to try blasting the local Deer Herd ; then the Gendarmerie would probably mistake them for "Tewwowithts...!" and call in an Airstrike, poste haste. IF the French were to decide they wanted to commence shooting at Wallabies they'd probably wind up having to debate it and pass National Laws to regulate it...; and in the absence of there being any "Problems" caused by the presence of the Wallabies, there's no sign or liklihood of that happening any time soon. The Chamber of Commerce in the town nearest to the Colony has obviously figured out that the local Yokels make more money from Tourism attracted by the Wallabies' proximity to their Town, than the Locals ever pay out in Vehicle-Repairs - because the Locals have learned to slow down at night ; and, if their Village has a couple of extra Panel-Beaters in business, just to repair the 30 or 40 Cars per year (mostly belonging to Tourists) which have been driven too fast to stop for a Wallaby af night, then that's all the more Cashflow into their Main Street's economy. Here in northern NSW, in Oz, in my local town of 10,000 people in a Shire of 3,600 square miles, there are 3 dedicated Panelbeating/Crash-Repair Businesses, each employing 3 or 4 people, and 60% of all their work is generated by Kangaroos, Wallabies, and Feral Deer. So, if you show up in France and shoot a Wallaby "because there's no Law against it...!", you can expect to stimulate their local Economy by providing work for the Gendarmes who arrest you and the Clerk of the Court who processes your paperwork, and the Prosecutor and Judge dealing with your Case, also for the Solicitor you pay to defend yourself, and then you'll forfeit your Guns & Hunting-Equipment (which they'll sell by Auction afterwards), and you'll pay a Fine...; and if you try to affront or insult them by way of "defending" your assumptions regarding your "Rights" under French Law, then you'll also provide employment for the Guards & Staff at the Prison where you'll serve your Sentence for Contempt of Court. In the Real World, that's what will unfold, such is my prediction and you are at perfect Liberty to disagree ; so please feel free to send me a Postcard from the Gaol in France, anytime you choose to attempt to prove my prophesy to be in error. Just(ifiably ?) sayin'... Take it easy, ;-p Ciao !

No, actually. Since there is no law against it, you can kill it, sadly. Regarding hunting laws, there are species you can indeed hunt and you are pretty much limited to that list. The roos however are in a loop; as I’ve said, they are not mentionned either as domestic, agricultural, game or pest. So...
