Court stops hunting for Sylter Goldschakal - exciting developments!

Sylt, Deutschland - A gold jackal that has caused considerable damage to Sylt since mid -May must not be shot down for the time being. The administrative court in Schleswig has issued a hanging deadline that stops hunting for the animal. This is followed by a lawsuit by a nature conservation association against the exemption from the State Office for the Environment, which originally approved the shooting. The hanging deadline is intended to prevent irreversible facts being created before a final judicial decision is made, such as maz-online.de reported.

In the meantime, Jäger had been looking for the gold jackal since May 19, which is held responsible for the death of at least 90 sheep and lambs on the island. These incidents have triggered concern in the Region and led to the decision of the State of Schleswig-Holstein to approve the animal's shooting. According to t-online.de is now dependent on the island in the judicial decision.

the gold jackal and its protection status

The gold jackal is a protected way that originally comes from southeastern Europe and has spread to north and west, including Germany. These animals live in packs, similar to wolves, and have now also planted in German forests. However, little is still known about the way of life, since only individual animals are seen. Recent observations show that there are also pairs of jackets that occupy the territories of 2-3 km, such as Deutsches-jagdportal.de reported.

The hunting law for gold jackals in Germany is restricted. In contrast to wolves, the hunting is allowed, the gold jackal falls under protected species. In addition, studies have shown that gold jackals are often killed by wolves, which can lead to the extinction of jackal groves. The average lifespan of the gold jackal is about eight years.

look into the future

The court's decision will be crucial for the handling of the situation on Sylt. On the one hand, the protection of the species is in the foreground, on the other hand, the safety and protection of the local flocks must be guaranteed. The tension among the hunters and the sheep owners shows how challenging the coexistence between humans and wildlife remains in this sensitive ecosystem.
