The Munich II public prosecutor's office has dropped the case against Thomas Bär, who shot down three alpine pigs.

There is no criminal charge against him.

The district office also does not want to take any further action against Bär.

Cornelia Wagner, the daughter of the sow farmer, defends herself against this.

She wants to ensure that Bär's hunting license is revoked.

Munich/Großweil

– The case was an excitement – ​​and this description may be an understatement.

The shooting of three alpine pigs by Thomas Bär, head of the district hunting association, in mid-April in a gate near Großweil dominated the letters to the editor of this newspaper at times.

The flood of opinion contributors from Bär accusers and supporters will receive new nourishment after the Munich II public prosecutor's office dropped the case against Bär on July 13, as the Tagblatt researched.

"We could not prove that there was intent," says spokesman Matthias Enzler.

"There is no criminal behavior." The public prosecutor's office relies on the results of the investigation that the Murnau police station, which heard several witnesses, has compiled.

The decision by the Munich authorities relieved Bär when he found out about his quasi “clean bill of health” from the Tagblatt editors.

"That makes me very happy," he said.

However, he expected it.

"I would have been surprised if it had turned out differently."

District office on the train

According to public prosecutor Enzler, the ball is now in the playing field of the Garmisch-Partenkirchen district office, to which the file will be delivered in the coming days.

"If there are administrative offenses, a fine can be imposed." As things stand at present, this will not happen, as spokesman Wolfgang Rotzsche said on request.

"We're not doing anything." After the owner of the pigs got away with a warning because he didn't have permission to keep the sows on the property, the district office doesn't want to take action on Bär either.

"Otherwise it would be unequal treatment," says Rotzsche.

A contrary reaction was triggered by the decision of the public prosecutor's office and especially the district office in the case of Cornelia Wagner, whose father owned the Alpine pigs that had been shot down.

"It was clear to us that this would happen." She suspects "rope relationships" that prevail between Bär and the district authority.

Wagner calls it "disturbing when the district office just lets the matter fall under the table".

Her fighting spirit not to let Bear get away with it is spurred on.

She and her father have engaged the Augsburg lawyer Daniel Iven, who specializes in hunting law.

Iven wants to write to the district office in the near future - first he has to see the files of the public prosecutor's office - to ask them to take action.

"It is officially obliged to do so." It is no longer about criminal law, but about administrative law.

Other district offices were not as accommodating to hunters who accidentally kill other animals because they mistake them for wild boar.

As a precedent, Iven cites a case against a huntsman who shot a mare in a paddock two years ago in Rohrbach, southern Palatinate, because he wanted to have identified her as a wild boar at night.

The Südliche Weinstraße district administration therefore withdrew the man's hunting and weapon rights for some time.

"This procedure is absolutely normal for false kills," says Iven.

In this case, too, the Landau public prosecutor's office had stopped the investigation with the same reason as the Munich colleagues at Bär.

Not aware of any guilt

The desire to hunt and the passion to be a hunter - both are unbroken at Bär.

Also because he is not aware of any guilt or wrongdoing.

He made that clear in a conversation with the magazine "Die Pirsch".

He admits that he assumed he had shot the same (wild) sow three times.

After the incident, he has since gone back to hunting wild boar.

According to his own statements, he claims to have hunted down “four wild boars” “in this area” near Großweil, his territory.

Possessing a hunting license, possibly even a bit of quality of life for him.

"If I didn't have that, it would be like white sausage without wheat beer for me."

Cornelia Wagner's father still had the need to keep pigs.

He has now leased the site from the municipality of Großweil and is considering getting animals, says the daughter.

Also because the veterinary office gave him the green light during an on-site visit.
