HIBAPRESS – Mohamed Zerriouh
In a field intervention that took place before sunrise, elements of the hunting police affiliated with the Royal Moroccan Federation of Hunting in the province of Nador, in coordination with the hunting association "Tizizaouine", managed early Friday morning to apprehend a person suspected of practicing night hunting outside legal controls, in the Ouled Massaoud hamlet, belonging to the Ouled Daoud Zekhanine commune.
The operation, which was carried out around 4 am, came in the context of efforts to monitor hunting activities and combat practices that threaten wild animal wealth. It resulted in the apprehension of the suspect and the seizure of a set of equipment suspected of being used during hunting activity.
Among the seized items were an unlicensed 9mm "carbine" firearm, a flashlight, and five partridges, in an incident that brings back to the forefront the issue of night hunting and the challenges it poses related to protecting wildlife and respecting the laws governing this activity.
Following the intervention, the necessary reports were drawn up regarding the incident, with legal measures taken in accordance with the competent authorities, pending the completion of related procedures and the determination of responsibilities according to applicable laws.
