Walkers met a lynx in early September.This could not be scareed away.Then a gamekeeper shot him.There is now criticism for this. A launch of a lynx causes discussions in Neuchâtel.(Symbol image) Cuddeback That's why a woman met in the forest near Colombier ne on a lynx.The animal behaved aggressively. A gamekeeper then shot off the lynx named Diego. An animal protection association has filed a criminal complaint against the gamekeeper. When a woman from Colombier ne with her dog goes for a walk in a nearby forest, she suddenly faces a lynx.Later it turned out that he was called Diego.Instead of screaming and shyly disappearing into the thicket, the wildcat stops and hisses the woman and her dog. Even as two joggers, he cannot be driven out of the scene.Ultimately, the police have to come to help.This offers a cantonal game keeper.He decides to shoot the lynx, as the newspapers of Ch Media report. Criminal complaint against gamekeepers The lynx is a protected animal species.Around 350 of them currently live in Switzerland.The rapid shooting is justified by Christophe Noël by the fact that the lynx was threatening for the woman with her dog."This is one of the problems that have justified quick intervention."According to an RTS report, the lynx "beaten" the woman with the paw. The Avenir Loup Lynx Jura association has submitted a criminal complaint against the gamekeeper."We want the public prosecutor to be examined," says Vice President Susanne Clauss.She believes that the gamekeeper liked the shooting decision without need. Diego behaved normally for a hungry cat."For nobody, an immediate danger went from him, which can be seen clearly in the video of the walker."She also points out: "You would certainly have had a day to analyze the overall situation." Put up in the wildlife park Diego was picked up in the canton of Vaud in the La Garenne wildlife park last year.It was released in May of this year.At least you should have discussed it to resume it there, says Clauss. The canton of Neuchâtel sees it differently.A return to the wildlife park or another zoo was out of the question: "Experience shows that animals born in freedom never get used to it." Trouble to eat in the great outdoors The canton continues to defend the shooting.It was not the first incident with Diego, he writes in a media release.In the past few weeks he had often been close to the settlement.An attack on a domestic cat is documented. The canton continues: Diego was weakened, his muscles were underdeveloped and "he bothered to eat in the great outdoors".After his release from the wildlife park, he ate foxes, but never hunted deer or chamois, the usual food for a lynx.The canton sees this inability and the increasing danger that he should represent for humans as an arguments for shooting.
