Koch causes excitement: present beaver recipes on social media!

Kade, Sachsen-Anhalt, Deutschland - Max Stiegl, a well -known Austrian top chef, ensures controversies with its latest culinary creation. He has developed a menu that consists of beaver meat and addresses the hunt for these animals. According to Schwäbische.de , a full-blown beaver is able to weigh up to 46 kilograms and the meat should go in the direction of wild ducks. Stiegl presents his recipes on social media, where he shows, among other things, a beaver brain omelette and sausages made of beaver meat.

Despite the creative approaches, Stiegl receives massive criticism for his idea of ​​consuming beaver meat. However, he defends himself by steering the discussion on the mass attitude of pigs and cattle. In Austria and Germany, beavers are under strict protective measures that contribute to biodiversity, but are also associated with ecological challenges because they cause damage to bank trees and fruit trees.

The raccoon population under control

The invasive raccoons are not only hunted, but also culinary. Michael Reiss from Kade in Saxony-Anhalt specializes in the processing of raccoon meat and offers, for example, "raccoon breakfast meat". In 2022 Reiss even received an EU approval for the processing of raccoons and has built up a customer base to Berlin and Leipzig.

biological management measures in focus

In order to counter the challenges with the raccoon population, the Hessian Ministry of the Environment is discussing all -round hunting as well as biological management measures such as castration and sterilization. Experts like Nannette Wilk, veterinarian at the Federal Association of Wildlife Aids, warn that a one -sided hunting, especially pregnant females, could only tighten the problem. natur-und-landschaft.de reports that the raccoon in Germany has now been an invasive species and has not been under species protection since 2015.

So far, the measures to combat the raccoon population do not show significant improvement, but the approaches are interesting and could ensure better management in the long term. The creation of sustainable solutions that respects the living space of the raccoons remains a challenge for society and nature conservation.
