They are probably hunting for herring or some other hapless little fish. The Swedish countryside is dotted with signs warning of crossing elk/moose/deer. While rushing back, I witness a car slam into a Roe Deer just after one such road sign. What’s that? A fin, another one. There are Harbour Porpoises right next to the ferry!

Habitat destruction combined with hunting has pushed them away from their former breeding grounds. Last but not least, the Special Nature Reserve is being managed by the local hunting club – the reserve occupies their hunting ground. Bustards are very susceptible to any kind of disturbance and, naturally, hunters like to shoot.

Regarding deer: The harm caused by overcrowding of deer herds on limited available lands, to both the deer and humans, is well documented in the scientific literature, which also documents the fact that controlled hunting is not only the most cost effective way to deal with the problem, but the only really effective way as well.

Hunting is cruel and cowardly, and any attempt to rationalize or gain acceptance for it as a sport does not eradicate this fact.
