(8/8) Tijdens de Franse Revolutie verwierven Franse burgers het recht om te jagen, voorheen een adellijk privilege. En gejaagd wordt er sindsdien. In de Thiérache is Patrick Drouard van september tot februari iedere zondagochtend met zijn honden op zoek naar wild. Rode Lijst soorten zoals de watersnip genieten hier enkel bescherming op papier.
