Stop the wild animals: Call for petition against new hunting law in RLP!
In Rhineland-Palatinate there is currently a lot of fuel in the political discussion about hunting. A petition calls on the state parliament and the Ministry of the Environment to stop the planned amendment to the state hunting law. The initiator, Daniel Bastian, a professional hunter and conservancy leader, suggests developing a nature conservation-friendly alternative together with experts from hunting, forestry, agriculture and wildlife biology. As openpetition.de reports, the petition speaks from the soul of the hunter community, which is committed to protecting wild animals and their habitats.
According to Bastian and other hunters, the criticism of the planned amendment cannot be dismissed out of hand. They find the draft to be unrealistic, hostile to wildlife and dangerous, as it could endanger the principle of respectful treatment of game and the responsibility of hunters as conservationists. In particular, the quality of the wild animals' habitat could be significantly worsened by the new regulations.
The effects in detail
The effects of the legal changes would result in more stress for wild animals, combined with increased damage to forests and fields. Those affected also fear a significant increase in bureaucracy, which will only make maintenance more difficult. Instead of making decisions on an ideological basis, the signatories of the call are calling for a hunting law that is based on knowledge and practical experience.
The existing regulations, such as the Federal Hunting Act of September 29, 1976, also known as BJagdG, as well as the regulations on hunting seasons, are all important. These laws, last amended in 1998, ensure that hunting is carried out sustainably and in accordance with animal welfare. According to [wald.rlp.de].
Relevance of animal protection
Another aspect that cannot be ignored is the role of animal welfare in hunting. As tierschutzvereine.de explains, hunting laws are extremely important to protect animal populations and avoid unnecessary suffering. Responsible hunting requires hunters to know and respect local regulations. The protection of nature and the well-being of animals are our top priority.
The discussion about the amendment to the state hunting law in Rhineland-Palatinate is more than just another political issue; it affects the coexistence of humans and wild animals in a desolate climate. It is to be hoped that everyone involved will pull together to find a solution that meets both hunting interests and the demands of nature conservation.
