Prohibited means: listed in Wallonia, permitted by list in Flanders
Wallonia lists what is forbidden; Flanders reverses the logic and allows only means authorised by the Government.
Both Regions regulate hunting means, but on opposite logics. Wallonia lists the prohibitions: Article 8 of the Act of 28 February 1882 forbids nets, snares, leg-hold traps, springes, poisoned baits and similar devices for capturing or destroying game; possessing, selling and distributing leg-hold traps is itself prohibited, and hunting by motor vehicle is banned. Flanders proceeds the other way, by authorisation: Article 19 of the Hunting Decree provides that «het is verboden om niet door de Vlaamse Regering toegestane middelen voor het doden of vangen van wild te gebruiken» — it is prohibited to use means of killing or capturing game that are not authorised by the Flemish Government. In Flanders a means absent from the authorised list is therefore prohibited by default. Possession of firearms is, for its part, a federal matter.
