Kuh-Killer from Kruberg: Hunting license holder in heavy dilemma!

Kuh-Killer from Kruberg: Hunting license holder in heavy dilemma!

In Kruberg, a scandalous incident came to light: two hunters accidentally killed two pregnant cows and incorrectly thought the animals. This happened on May 26th, as the two hunters, the public prosecutor reports, reported guilty, but does not want to throw the penetrating light of truth on the shooters. However, the spokesman for the public prosecutor's office in Siegen, Patrick Baron von Grothuss, expressed that they had currently "grasped", could not announce any further details.

The farmer who discovered the dead cows indicated that the damage was estimated at 7,000 euros. The hunters had then proposed a deal: they would pay the damage if he did not officially report the incident. This bizarre Situation led to the police after the farmer recognized the scope of the incident and went to the guard to file a criminal complaint against the hunters. These apparently tried to quickly turn the matter under the carpet to get themselves out of the line of fire.

a proverbial cow trade

The whole situation raises many questions. How can it be that experienced hunters make such a serious mistake? The hunter training shows that the shot may only fall if the "piece" has been undoubtedly identified as a huntable game. The night of the incident was clear and the cows were recognized as such. The witnesses are still, and the projectiles that caused the tragic incident are no longer found.

The responsible hunting authority and the hunters are concerned about the call of their guild. Klaus Rademacher, managing director of the district hunters "Kurköln", is shocked and can hardly believe that such serious confusion is possible. It makes it clear that wild boar and cattle fundamentally differ in size and weight.

In addition, the investigators have the question of whether the hunters actually met the correct handling of their weapon before the crime. In any case, this turn of the action could result in legal consequences, because violations of the weapons law and the animal protection law are in the room. The attempted cover -up could also have serious legal consequences for the perpetrators.

A clear Mainacht

The discussion about the incident could also trigger long-term effects on hunters. Many in the community fear damage to the image, and it remains to be seen whether and how the investigation will continue. "The investigation is ongoing," says Baron von Grothuss.

Whether the hunters involved have to expect a conviction will be shown in the coming weeks. The allegations weigh heavily and mount the potential for a significant legal and reputative argument for the entire hunting community.
