Hunting and environment - Austria / II. Republic of Austria 1997 - 7 Shilling

For the deer, man is a predator who, although he wants to hunt the deer, does not want to feed it. That was not necessary. Deer are wild animals that naturally survive without feeding. People invaded more and more into the habitat of the deer and changed it according to their ideas. But deer are unaware of ownership and ownership, and eat what people have planted for themselves. The resulting conflict is in fact a conflict between humans: people who are competitors of the red deer and people who defend as hunters the right to life of their prey. The compromise solution is feeding: it helps to reduce or prevent forest damage. Then the deer is no longer considered a pest and the competitor man grants him the right to life in his forests. For the hunter, it is now a matter of course to feed the deer in winter in a manner appropriate to the species, where it is necessary in the sense of the compromise described. The brand image depicts red deer in front of a manger.
