A “pasture protection zone in the district of Miesbach” - that is what the FWG has in mind in the city council.
Other factions see the city council as the wrong body for lobbying against the wolf.
Miesbach
- The wolf, who was sighted, filmed and put on the Internet as a video in mid-April of this year at Seehamer See, does not let go of the Free Voting Community in Miesbach. That is why the parliamentary group around Markus Seemüller has asked the city council that the city should campaign for a “pasture protection zone in the district of Miesbach”. The next steps for this should - according to the proposal - be coordinated in a special Wolf working group.
Seemüller underlined the need for this step in the most recent meeting. There are now around 1,500 wolves in Germany, and the population doubles every three years. In addition, such a predator is intelligent and athletic and can cover up to 80 kilometers per day. Usually fences couldn't stop him. Seemüller emphasized that the fact that a wolf killed 30 sheep in Tyrol in June confirmed the alpine farmers in their view that the wolf had no place in the district: "In some regions, coexistence is not possible."
Since the pasture protection zone is currently being worked on behind the scenes, it is “important to set an example”, according to Seemüller, who runs an agricultural business himself.
However, the topic is very emotional: “The townspeople and the nature conservation association want the wolf.
And the farmers have to endure it. ”As elected representatives of the district town, however, the city council members are, in his view, responsible“ now to close ranks ”.
Mayor Braunmiller: "I understand the concerns, but the city council is the wrong body for it"
Mayor Gerhard Braunmiller (CSU) did not want to go along this path, however: "It is a serious topic that I have also familiarized myself with." In addition to discussions with farmers and mayor colleagues, he contacted the specialist department at the District Office and read the statement from Agriculture Minister Michaela Kaniber . His result: "I understand the concerns, but the city council is the wrong body for it."
Manfred Burger (Greens) agreed to this and defended himself against the blanket claim that the Bund Naturschutz (BN) wanted the wolf. “Getting along and wanting to get along are two stories,” stated the BN district chairman. He's sure not to scream hurray when a wolf shows up in the county. A pasture protection zone in which wolves could be shot would not involve any protective measures. “Something has to happen with herd protection. The legal options have to fit, and so must the financial support. ”That is why Burger does not consider Miesbach's membership to be sensible.
Alois Fuchs (CSU) gave Seemüller encouragement.
"We can't even have such large protective fences," said the organic farmer.
“The wolf is very intelligent and can get over 2.50 meters over it.” But whether the city council was the right body for this topic, Fuchs did not want to commit himself: “Set an example?
Yes.
An AK wolf?
No."
Ultimately, according to Fuchs, a lot is already being done in the district - the ball is now with Environment Minister Thorsten Glauber (Free Voters).
However, Fuchs thought a pasture protection zone was the right way to go and suggested that Mayor Braunmiller should perhaps write a corresponding letter to Glauber.
Seemüller's version rejected with twelve votes against - the mayor's service meeting is not affected
Seemüller reacted to this suggestion immediately and rebuilt his application: AK Wolf out, but a letter from the mayor in.
At the next mayor's service meeting, Braunmiller should also ask other mayors to support the letter to Glauber.
What again displeased Burger: “We can't support anything if we don't even know what's in it.
That doesn't work. "
Alfred Mittermaier (CSU) agreed - only a joint decision by the mayors is possible.
And third mayor Franz Mayer (CSU) noted that it was not even clear what a pasture protection zone ultimately meant and what consequences it would bring.
Seemüller's application in the version with the statement ultimately failed with 9:12 votes.
This has no effect on the mayor's service meeting, at which the topic is dealt with independently of the Miesbach city council.
Mayer therefore asked Braunmiller to inform the city council about the discussion.
Seemüller recently submitted numerous applications to the Miesbach City Council - including an application against the billboards on the Miesbach market square.
