Wild game from hobby hunters is carrion.

Autumn is harvest time. Especially among hobby hunters, game meat is considered a central part of the diet.

The Swiss Hunting Association writes the following on its website:

" Ecological, low-fat and healthy – venison, deer, wild boar and the like are trendy and healthy. Many people don't even know that game meat is much healthier and more natural than any other meat. "

Hunting Switzerland is advertising something that, upon closer inspection, defies common sense. Many people are unaware that several authorities warn against consuming wild game. These important warnings are consistently omitted from the Hunting Switzerland website .

Hunted game is essentially carrion and therefore not actually permissible for sale or consumption by ordinary people.

The cumulative cocktail of toxins dumped on fields by industrial agriculture also severely impacts wildlife . Wild game is by no means as natural and organic as hobby hunters would have the public believe.

What do the authorities say about wild game meat?

Processed game meat (red meat) is carcinogenic, like cigarettes, asbestos or arsenic , explains the WHO .

Studies from Switzerland show that among game enthusiasts, such as hobby hunters and their families, up to 90 portions of game meat are consumed annually in these households. The Federal Office for Food Safety considers the situation concerning when game meat is eaten once or several times a week.

Authorities have therefore been recommending for years that children, pregnant women and women wishing to have children refrain from eating meat from game killed with lead ammunition.

“ Since this infection is usually harmless, the health risk posed by the hepatitis E virus (HEV) has been underestimated so far ,” warns gastroenterologist Prof. Christian Strassburg from the University Hospital Bonn.

Diseases

The Federal Institute for Risk Assessment warns that wild game meat poses an increased risk of contracting toxoplasmosis, trichinellosis, sarcocysticercosis, cysticercosis, taeniosis, echinococcosis or larval alariosis .

Venison is carrion

The blood in a wild animal's veins begins to clot just 8 minutes after death. Essentially, after less than 10 minutes, you're dealing with something known as carrion.

However, shot game now lies around uncooled and unprocessed for not just about 10 minutes, but sometimes for several hours before it is collected and transported for processing.

Conclusion

Wild animals live in constant fear due to recreational hunting . Especially when they are actually hunted, they produce vast amounts of toxic hormones, adrenaline, etc., which combine with other existing toxins and waste products in their flesh .

These technical and practical aspects of orderly slaughter cannot be realized in hobby hunting operations .

In Canada, it is generally forbidden to sell game meat from recreational hunters in restaurants or shops because it is considered more of a poison than a food, according to an article in The Globe and Mail .

For the IG Wild beim Wild (IG Wild with Wild), animal protection is always also human protection.
