when animals become danger

The incident in Geislingen raises important questions about the living together of humans and animals in urban rooms. According to the [Wildlieinstitut] (https://www.fva-bw.de/top-meta-navigation/fva-wildtierinstitut/Wildtiere-Menschen/wildtie-im-urbanen-area), the development of cities and the relocation of habitats for wild animals is concerned. The presence of wild animals in settlement areas can lead to conflicts, especially if they damage property or cause security risks. A close cooperation between the wildlife officers and the population is therefore crucial to ensure a conflict -free coexistence.

It is therefore essential that both citizens and the police are trained how they can deal with the presence of wild animals in urban areas. Such wildlife management could help prevent similar situations like the chicken in Geislingen and at the same time respect the natural diversity in our environment. It remains to be seen whether the chicken will find an owner or whether it is the best for the animal to look for a new home in the shelter.
