Breathe between the farmers: After the farmers had complained about greater damage caused by crows in the fields and fruit trees, the birds can be hunted for a certain period.
From 11 August to the end of February, according to the new regulation of the BH Bregenz, the shooting at Raven Crows is permitted. The regulation applies to the next three years and only extends to areas that are not in nature conservation or in a Natura 2000 area. Moreover, the hunters must focus on larger groups, at least three birds. Only hunted with approved means and methods.
Crows are becoming more and more
In contrast to the nature conservation lawyer Katharina Lins, who insists that the evolution of the European Bird Protection Directive Hubert Schatz is no problem with the new rules of the game. The number of crows would continue to increase. This is, among other things, due to the fact that the food supply is increasing. Crows are also increasingly being used in compost and other waste.
The preferred area for searching for food are still agricultural areas on which the birds cause major damage. Finally, the farmers complained that the crows had chosen the outer corn and therefore caused high harvest losses.
