Le milliardaire Olivier Bouygues jugé pour braconnage d’espèces protégées sur son domaine de la forêt de Sologne. Les enquêteurs de l'OFB ont découvert dans sa propriété un véritable musée de horreurs: armes de chasse interdites et des charniers d'animaux protégés (hérissons, buses, rapaces, aigrettes, grands cormorans, hérons...). Une dizaine d’associations de défense animale se sont portées parties civiles. Le RN veut supprimer l'OFB...

A quotation from Basil the Great

You seem to have great possessions! How else can this be, but that you have preferred your own enjoyment to the consolation of the many? For the more you abound in wealth, the more you lack in love.

[ἀλλὰ μὴν φαίνῃ ἔχων κτήματα πολλά. Πόθεν ταῦτα; ἢ δῆλον ὅτι τὴν οἰκείαν ἀπόλαυσιν προτι μοτέραν τῆς τῶν πολλῶν παραμυθίας ποιούμενος. Ὅσον οὖν πλεονάζεις τῷ πλούτῳ, τοσοῦτον ἐλλείπεις τῇ ἀγάπῃ.]

Basil of Caesarea (AD 330-378) Christian bishop, theologian, monasticist, Doctor of the Church [Saint Basil the Great, Ἅγιος Βασίλειος ὁ Μέγας]
Sermon (368 ca.), "To the Rich [Ὁμιλία πρὸς τοὺς πλουτούντας]" [tr. Schroeder (2009)]
