Hunting divides opinion: some see it as necessary to stabilise damaged ecosystems. For others, hunting is only about trophies \u2013 as Felix Kaspar Rosi\u0107<\/strong>.<\/a> also believes.<\/p>\n <\/div>\r\n \r\n

Behind hunting lies a capitalist principle: never being satisfied and always wanting more. <\/strong><\/strong>Trophy hunting can be seen as an expression of human selfishness, since some hunters practise it as a hobby and the meat is, so to speak, \u2018bycatch\u2019. The majority of hunters reject such practices. Most value the peace and the closeness to animals in nature. Sitting in a hide is even said to have an effect similar to forest bathing. Even so, cruel practices such as hunting with hounds cast hunting in a bad light.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today you can book hunting trips to Africa where you can comfortably shoot animals ordered in advance from a raised hide. Many hunters criticise this commercialised form of hunting and prefer an ethical, fair-chase connection with the animal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most hunters regard hunting as necessary for various reasons \u2013 above all to regulate wildlife populations. Regulation without killing is considered impossible: humans now intervene so heavily in animals\u2019 habitats, they argue, that there is \u2018no going back\u2019. What\u2019s more, the meat obtained is food of the very highest quality. Ethical principles are also stressed, such as respect for the animal and avoiding suffering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Animal welfare organisations disagree. \u2018Wildlife populations do not grow without hunting\u2019 \u2013 the opposite is true, they say: hunting does reduce wildlife numbers, but it also makes the animals breed faster. Wildlife populations naturally keep themselves in balance; it is human influence that throws complex living systems off balance. Animal welfare campaigners also criticise the brutal treatment of animals in hunting and the cult of trophies. They doubt that it is really about remembrance and respect.<\/p>\n\n\n

The J\u00e4gereiverband Augsburg e.V.<\/strong> is one of the older hunting associations in Germany. Its chairman Hans F\u00fcrst grew up with hunting and is committed to conserving nature. Besides his involvement with the Bund Naturschutz, he trains hunters. In the theory classes for the hunting licence, his pupils learn the anatomy of native animals from lifelike specimens, lined up in a room specially set up for the purpose in the clubhouse.<\/p>\n<\/figcaption>\n \n <\/figure>\n\n\n\n \n\n

In the wild, pine martens often prefer forks in branches as resting places.<\/strong> However, it is unlikely that an animal would linger in such a relaxed position. Taxidermy specimens are often made in human-like poses \u2013 even though these rarely reflect the animals\u2019 natural behaviour.<\/p>\n<\/figcaption>\n \n <\/figure>\n\n <\/div> \n\n\n \n\n \n \n\n

Many of his trophies were prepared immediately after the kill and sent to Germany whole. But he doesn\u2019t like the way they work in Africa: too flashy, too muscular \u2013 unnatural, B. thinks.

Some people worry that hunting fairs glorify weapons,<\/strong> especially when children are present and trying out weapons is treated as a kind of leisure activity.
