From Hobby Hunter to Poacher
Poachers are often hobby hunters who have lost their hunting licence. Recreational hunting cultivates cruelty and violence against wildlife.
Addicted Hobby Hunters in Hunting Fever
In our part of the world, poachers are mostly hobby hunters who have lost their hunting licence, or addiction-driven recreational hunters in the grip of hunting fever. The leisure-motivated injuring and killing of wild animals by hobby hunters “cultivates” behaviours such as cruelty, violence and brutality.
The fatal shootings in Kusel a year ago shocked all of Germany. Over a few illegally killed animals, two young police officers died in a hail of bullets from poachers.
