The hunters tell us they love animals. They cannot understand that without reciprocity, ironically, Jake Koss wear reflective vest, one of the organizers of the Wroclaw against Hunters group, blocked the first hunt last week.
Every year in early November
Hunters meet on the festive hunt for their feast - Hubertus. Members of the Hunt St. Hubert in Legnica describes the meeting as follows: "Weather
Colleagues came in numerous numbers. We ran litters in the forest, where many animals and beautiful forest. Poker was one of the more beautiful in recent years! G. Plot played "deer on the decay" (bull and two lions), "boar on the decomposition" (three wild boars) and "predator on the decomposition". The hunting king was Marlin Forint’s colleague, obtaining a bull deer".
"Deer on the schedule" etc. are traditional melodies played during the funeral. Poke is in turn a solemn rite that ends the hunt. Hunters report at this time and arrange the animals' bodies in such a sequence and position that determines the attractiveness of the killed game and the difficulty the hunter has to overcome to obtain it. According to current habits, animals are arranged on the right side, head towards the hunters, in order by species.
On a photograph of hunting in the woods dead animals lie on branches of spruce, surrounded by burning stumps. There is also a table with a tablecloth and a loaf of bread on it.
Culture without dialogue
Another hunting hunter from Legnica had to cancel. They were abducted by activists who stumbled on the Facebook profile of "Wroclaw against the Hunters" and set up a walk in the forest at the same time in the same place. They came in reflective waistcoats; they had posters with crossed drawings of the hunter.
- It was very culturally. Well, only one of them recommended a visit to a psychiatrist. The hunters were already out, but they immediately canceled the hunt - says Jake Koss, one of the organizers of the action. - Regulations do not allow shooting less than 500 meters from the "public meeting place".
- Their faces are gone. They tried to convince us that we had to leave the forest; they even called the police - added Natalia, who also walked with the hunter. - They were not right. The policemen only made us out and let us stay in the forest, to the great disappointment of the hunters.
Animal protectors ensure that they are not afraid of walks in the forest when hunters are getting ready. They say they always have safety vests with them and keep the hunters informed of their presence even before the hunt begins.
Hunts are also cautious. Only once did Jack happen to have someone threatening to scratch his car. It is usually calm, though without a chance for dialogue.
Jacket Kudzu has already taken part in similar walks in the Forest. He locked with other hunting activists during the rut, which is the period of mating deer. They arrived a day earlier to the village, near the hunting grounds. They were doing a reconnaissance to locate the most important pulpits in the area and to map them. The next day they stood still before sunrise to wait under the pulpits before the hunters arrived. They were nice and cultured. After a few years the hunters just stopped coming to the ranch.
The same Wroclaw against the Hunters wants to achieve in Lower Silesia. Their profile, which lasts less than two weeks, has almost one and a half thousand likes.
