Because they “steal from plates in restaurants’: Seagulls on the Baltic Sea released for shooting. Herring gulls may be shot with weapons from February 1st until April 15th.

From April 1st to July 31st, herring gull eggs and nests may be destroyed. Even young gulls can be controlled with firearms from April 16th to August 31st. Funding for the city hunter is to be canceled from 2026. In Sonderburg, the community hopes that a general shooting permit will improve the plague.
