Abstract
From Spontaneous to Contaminating. Cattle Left Wild in the French Pyrénées The social dimension of the process whereby cattle have been left to go wild in the Ariège area of the French Pyrénées is studied. Locally, this recent phenomenon is thought to be of minor importance. But throughout France, there are many cases of feral cattle, cases linked to practices and changes in local societies. Unlike bullfighting, which justifies rearing "wild" bulls in an extensive system, the new technical rationality implemented by a group of stockbreeders turns out to be in contradiction with this wild herd's existence.
