Bruno tracked and captured in his nets pretty little birds called goldfinches. What he didn’t know, however, was that he too was being tracked by agents of the French Biodiversity Office (OFB) until he fell into their nets this Thursday, October 26. This 62-year-old man will soon be tried for “kidnapping or capturing a non-domestic and protected animal species” and for “detention”.
