Tragedy in the city park: Rehkitz dies from negligent mowing work!

Magdeburg, Deutschland - In a tragic incident, a dead fawn was discovered in the Magdeburg city park Rotehorn. The walker, who discovered the crashed animal, was deeply affected and expressed her displeasure on social media. She asked the crucial questions: How could this incident be and who is responsible for it? The fawn was apparently ran over during mowing work and had serious injuries. The dismaying discovery throws shadows on the current practices to protect wild animals during the mowing season, such as Volksstimme reports.

The mowing season is not only a busy time for farmers, but also for the wildlife in our meadows. Especially now that fawns are born and are often stored in the meadows, the question arises of the protection of these animals. Farmer's fawn has the unfortunate habit of staying completely motionless in the event of danger, which makes it particularly vulnerable. Inadequate protective measures are often the reason why many of them are damaged during the mowing work. The use of methods for the overgrowth of mother animals and their boy, starting a day before the Mahd, could help drastically reduce the number of incredible.

Effective protective measures for fawns

But how exactly can you keep fawn from mowing death? A tried and tested method are optical game shits, as described, according to the German Wildlie Foundation. These can consist of simple materials such as plastic bags, balloons and small wind turbines and help to bring the animals to safety. Studies show that a combination of optical and acoustic elements such as flashing lights and beep is extremely effective. However, in order to avoid habituation effects, these game sheaths should be strategically distributed over the meadow and set up in good time before the mahd.

The search for the areas in front of the MAHD is also one of the important measures. Here, modern technologies such as drones with thermal imaging cameras can be used to detect the hidden fawn. The mowing farmer lies responsibility for the protection of the animals. If no sufficient measures are taken, violations of animal welfare can lead to fines or even prison terms, as the Rheinland-Pfalz police warned.
