For the time being, no shooting of geese

In the Province of Overijssel temporarily greylag geese, white-fronted geese and barnacle geese are not allowed to be shot. The court in Zwolle today in an urgent procedure decided that the exemption which the province had issued previously should be suspended. BirdLife in the Netherlands is pleased with the ruling. This allows the wintering geese in Overijssel in the short term to be protected from large-scale shooting.
