Criticism of recreational hunting

The IG Wild beim Wild is an animal rights organisation. Its main focus is the protection of wild animals from recreational hunting.

You do not become an opponent of recreational hunting out of boredom, but out of knowledge of this cruelty to animals. For professional wildlife protection.
