Hunter as supports of landscape and home care: Federal Hunter Day and their important role
Jäger are reliable supports of landscape and home care
The Federal Hunting Day takes place on Friday and tomorrow. The deputy chairman of the CDU/CSU parliamentary group, Steffen Bilger, together with the rapporteur Hans-Jürgen Thies responsible for hunting, emphasizes the important role that hunters play in the care of our cultural landscapes. However, they criticize the traffic light government for their ignorance of the hunters. In particular,bilger criticizes the exit of Germany from the international hunting rat and the diplomatic faults with African countries due to shortened species protection considerations of the traffic light government. Furthermore, the federal government's measures against the uncontrolled increase of the wolf are inadequate.
Thies points out that hunters make an important contribution to nature and species protection by helping with the management of the forests and protecting the cultural landscape together with farmers. They also fight animal diseases such as the African swine plague and save fawns from the combine harvester before death. Despite these services, hunters would often only be perceived as a gun owner, which misjudges their actual role. The Federal Government refuses the hunters the necessary support, especially when it comes to wolf.
The CDU/CSU parliamentary group in the German Bundestag represents the Middle People's Parties and considers itself for freedom, cohesion, personal responsibility, a strong free-democratic constitutional state, the social and ecological market economy, the integration into the western community of values and the agreement.
In the table below you will find some relevant facts for hunting in Berlin:
hunting in Berlin
| Number of hunter | 1.200 |
| Reviences | 150 |
| hunting area | 200,000 hectares |
| Wildlagen | red and wild boar, foxes, rabbits |
| hunting time | throughout the year, depending on the wild species |
Hunting has a long tradition in Berlin. Even during the Second World War, hunting was an important source of food and fur. Today, hunters in Berlin are primarily responsible for regulating the game population. By hunting red and wild boar as well as foxes and rabbits, the damage in agriculture is minimized and the risk of diseases such as the swine fever is reduced.
At the same time, the hunters make a valuable contribution to nature conservation. They are active in the Berlin forests and help with the management and care of the forest areas. They also support measures for the protection of endangered species and save, for example, fleet from death by agricultural machines.
The criticism of the CDU/CSU parliamentary group at the traffic light government in relation to hunting shows that the political decisions at the federal level have an impact on the work of the hunters on site. A close cooperation between hunters, farmers and the federal government is necessary to ensure the protection of rural regions and to implement a sustainable hunting policy.
