Wolfs hunt is getting closer: farmers' association celebrates great political victory!
The discussion about the wolf in Austria reaches a new climax. This week, the EU carried out a decisive vote on the Bern Convention that paves the way for wolf firing. This is a significant success for the Lower Austrian Bauernbund, which has been vehemently committed to more security in rural areas and the protection of rural owners for years. Chamber President Johannes Schmuckenschlager is proud of the backing of the population, since almost 60,000 citizens have signed a petition to strengthen the protection of their interests, such as nön.at
The decision is made in the context of the ongoing challenges caused by the presence of wolves for agriculture. According to Paul Nemecek, director of the Lower Austrian Bauernbund, this is the end point of a long struggle for a sustainable solution that serves the security of farmers. Politics proves that it is able to act and take the interests of the rural population seriously.
