Administrative Court Overturns Wildlife Ban

In 2016, the city of Ulm enacted a wildlife ban. Following the lawsuit by Circus Krone, the Sigmaringen Administrative Court overturned the ban.

An overwhelming majority has recognised the suffering of wild animals in the circus. 82% of Germans hold the view that exotic wild animals cannot be kept in a species-appropriate manner there. That success is possible without animals is demonstrated by Circus Flic Flac, Roncalli and Cirque du Soleil. More on the topic of animal rights and zoos.

More on the subject of recreational hunting: The scientific evidence is presented in the overview Studies on the Effects of Recreational Hunting.

The position of IG Wild beim Wild: IG Wild beim Wild rejects recreational hunting. Our model is the canton of Geneva, which has managed without recreational hunting since 1974: without hunting seasons, without hunting dogs, without driven hunts, without high seats, without the animal cruelty and crime that go hand in hand with hunting season elsewhere. What has worked there for over fifty years disproves every position paper by JagdSchweiz. An association that bases its policy on claims it refutes in its own documents is not a professional organisation, but a factory for misinformation.
