Dozens of WAID men in Upper Austria are currently fluttering from the district authority in the house because they have reported their murders but killed the animals illegally. Motif: “It’s about consciousness.” The affected hunters are not very enthusiastic about the juicy penalties.
The goat was expensive – 600 euros punishment. An Eferdinger -hunter is grumpy because he has now received a payment certificate from the district administration. And he is not the only one who is asked to check nationally because of the forgetfulness or carelessness.
“Since the previous year, when the Staatsjachtwet was amended, it has also been checked whether the murders were made by hunters who also have a valid hunting card,” explains district captain Christoph Schweitzer.
Punishing up to 20,000 euros
The district authorities have agreed nationally and have set a fine of 600 euros per “poisoned” animal. According to the law, penalties up to 20,000 euros are possible. “It’s about the formation of consciousness,” says the district administrative teams, which want to look strict again this year as soon as the new yacht year starts on 1 April.
“We don’t help anyone when he is punished. It is about responsibility and also about insurance themes, “says District and vice-hunting Master Volkmar Angermeier van Ephermeier. Because paying the hunting card is also valid for the amount of four million euros, which protects the Waidmann in yacht accidents.
More than 100 hunters have already been asked to do greenhouses – not much at 21,500 in the country, but the State Hunting Association hopes that the strict penalties are nearby. About 6,000 WAID men pay per debit order, the rest is still manual.
Accidentally paid for son instead of daddy
And there are bizarre things: a woman wanted to pay for her husband, but paid for the son. It didn’t go behind last year, the father – and now he has to “” sheets “.
Because the district authorities are equalizing the database of the hunting association, which has paid the 107 euros for the hunting card, with the reported stored. If a hunter has forgotten to pay for the shooting, punishments are punished. The yacht managers were encouraged to check whether the notes are valid for their hunters in the area. Otherwise this means: numbers or stay at home.
Anyone who believes as a hunter that the membership costs of the Hunting Association and the Liability Insurance premium should not expect with impunity in the case of a shot. The embassy of the district authorities is clear and absolutely correct.
They only punish with the criminal offenses what was quoted in legal form. Those who have been asked to check out will no longer forget this in the future and deposit on time. And that mainly serves your own protection. If a hunting accident takes place in an uninsured state, the consequences may exist.
