Public Dumbing-Down in the Canton of Zug
It has always been a great concern of IG Wild beim Wild to support the hunting community in its public relations work.
18 New Recreational Hunters in the Canton of Zug
The Canton of Zug has trained 18 new recreational hunters. Recreational hunters cause untold suffering both among people and among wildlife, practically everything that is cruel, unnecessary and heartless is promoted by hunting associations.
The Geneva Model shows alternatives
On Lake Geneva there is professional wildlife management without recreational hunters, with principled game wardens. There, foxes, martens or badgers are not culled simply because it is hunting season. Safety, expertise, animal welfare and ethics are the guiding principles. Recreational hunting fails as population control. More on the topic of recreational hunting and studies.

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.
