Today a moose which was wandering in the streets of Warsaw was shot by a professional hunter. Residents are furious as the moose was harmless in their opinion. www.tvn24.pl/28385,1549512,wiadomosc.html www.tvn24.pl/-1,1549543,wiadomosc.html   |

They get away with this crime as hunters are not allowed to shoot in the city. Today a moose which was wandering in the streets of Warsaw was shot by a professional hunter. Residents are furious as the moose was harmless in their opinion. So...you can shoot in the city if you are a professional hunter?  |

The professional hunter was called upon the scene by local authorities who decided the moose was dangerous. What angered the residents, though, was the fact that the hunter didn`t try to put the moose to sleep first, as it was always done with earlier animal intruders, but he killed it at once. |

This is when gun control is needed. This was a big waste.

This is when gun control is needed. This was a big waste. The hunter`s defence today is that there are 200 mooses living in Warsaw Kampinos Forest and that`s twice too much. He warns there will be more intrusions in the future... and claims that mooses can be dangerous, e.g., kill a man with one kick of their hoof. |

What is done with the seals that wash up, and they put back, or do they die? If they die, what is done with them?

What is done with the seals that wash up, and they put back, or do they die? If they die, what is done with them? Very good questions again. If a seal is OK, it comes back to water and swims away on its own. If the animal is inhured or exhausted, it is taken to Seals Aquarium in Hel for treatment and recuperation. We were there during last summer. See photos: polandsite.proboards104.com/index.cgi?board=places&action=display&thread=95&page=1#429 |

There are a few places in Poland which are famous for hosting colonies of hundreds of those birds. They are nice from a further distance....  www.foto.pwsk.pl/2008/05/21/rezerwat-lezczok/ |

I have never heard of any wild boar accident. You can see how big they are in the picture. In my opinion, quite big. But they tolerate people, and vice versa, and that`s what counts. |

Seven grey seals found in Vistula estuary
Polish Radio
28.10.2008
Seven grey seals have been observed in the estuary of the Vistula
River, making researchers optimistic this was a sign that the animals
may be coming back to the Polish Baltic coast.
So far, it is not certain if the colony is a permanent one, meaning
one in which the seals will breed. For decades there has been no
information about seals being born on Polish beaches, although young seals are frequent visitors here.
A colony of some 100 thousand grey seals lived in the Baltic at the
turn of the 20th century, but the numbers plummetted to 4 and a half thousand in the 1980s. At the time, seal hunting was still legal in Scandinavian countries.

Accidentally I came across the news that whales also visit the Baltic Sea. Currently two humpbacks are swimming towards Polish coast. Last year there was one humpback: www.tvn24.pl/12690,1517804,1,1,wiadomosc.html And in summer this year another: www.tvn24.pl/12690,1559286,,,wieloryb-u-polskiego-wybrzeza,wiadomosc.html |

Horse tramples 6 at Polish resort

Police official Monika Krasnicka-Bros says the incident occurred Monday in Zakopane, a southern Polish town that is a popular winter vacation resort.
She says the horse trampled six people who were walking along a
mountain ridge. They were taken to hospitals in ambulances and
helicopters and some were seriously injured.
Police were not immediately sure what frightened the horse.

The police, municipal guards, a vet and a forester chased a pregnant boar for 2 hours in the centre of Lublin. They tried to put it to sleep but the injection didn`t work, so they had to catch it in the net and take to the forest. www.tvn24.pl/-1,1592811,0,1,ciezarna-locha-grasowala-po-lublinie,wiadomosc.html    |
