Instructions (in French)
Chasser les animaux : avis favorable ou défavorable ?
Document 1 :
« Je ne comprends pas qu’on puisse trouver du plaisir à tuer des animaux ; cela me dépasse complètement. Il m’est aussi difficile d’admettre que l’on prétende aimer la nature tout en contribuant activement à la détruire. »– Sabrina, 29 ans
Document 2 :
« On chasse pour des raisons très diverses : se nourrir, vendre du gibier, ou encore réguler certaines populations. Certains protègent ainsi leurs terres, d’autres y voient un sport, un loisir ou un moyen de gagner en estime sociale. »– David, journaliste à la FRMThe prompt opens in the editor, with a word counter and an accent keyboard.
