Public Dumbing-Down in the Canton of Baselland

35 new hobby hunters in Baselland

35 new hobby hunters have received their diplomas. Government President Thomas Weber emphasised that recreational hunting is placing ever higher demands on hobby hunters.

We commend the Canton of Geneva for its professional wildlife management without hobby hunters, but with upstanding game wardens. Safety, expertise, animal welfare and ethics are the guiding principles. More on the subject of animal welfare problems of recreational hunting and hunting legislation.
