Problems of bird poaching in Slovenia

Ptice so del ekosistema, del narave in sveta, ki si ga vsi skupaj delimo. Rojstvo in smrt je nekaj naravnega, vendar je tudi dejanje, s katerim si človekovo bitje polni svoj ego na tak način, da se znaša nad nebogljenimi in nič krivimi bitji, jih ubija, muči, zapira in izkorišča. Takšna dejanja seveda niso sprejemljiva in jih nekateri nebomo nikoli razumeli ali si pred njimi celo zatiskali oči. Za vsako živo bitje je potrebno poskrbeti in se boriti za njihove pravice, saj same tega ne morejo storiti. Ljudje to počno iz številnih razlogov. Svojo korist iščejo v vsaki situaciji, kako bi lahko zaslužil in izboljšal svoj socialni status. Zaradi takšnih primerov je svet vsakodnevno bolj osiromašen in revnejši in se bojim, da nekega dne to stanje nebo več popravljivo. Nove generacije ne bodo vedele več, kaj je bila narava, saj bodo poznale le tisto, kar vidijo, torej uničen ekosistem. V diplomskem delu smo želeli predstaviti dejavnost, to je nezakoniti lov na ptice, ki pripomore k širjenju divjih lovcev, organiziranih združb ter seveda k uničevanju narave. Da bi to dejavnost omejili, je potrebna bistvena sprememba na področju ekološke kriminologije in pri razmišljanju javnosti. Med branjem diplomskega dela boste ugotovili, da se na pravno oz. kazensko plat ne naslanjam kaj dosti. V Sloveniji je proti živalim in njihovim pravicam namenjeno le nekaj pravnih podlag, vendar te ne segajo do te točke, da bi bili lahko z njimi zadovoljni/ zadoščeni. Po drugi strani pa smo lahko ponosni na organizacije in društva ter prostovoljce, ki poskušajo vsakodnevno problematiko nezakonitega lova in neprimernega ravnanja zoper ptic omiliti oz. zmanjšati. Največja organizacija v Sloveniji, ki se posveča pticam in njihovemu okolju, je Društvo za opazovanje in preučevanje ptic - DOPPS. Svoje delo namenja popisovanju in spremljanju števila osebkov ptic v naravi, ukvarja se s problematiko nezakonitega lova na ptice ter poskuša svoje delo predstaviti javnost. Letna poročila so pričeli s pisanjem leta 2018 in jih še vedno pišejo, v njih pa podajo letno statistiko na področju lova na ptice, do katerih podatkov so prišli s prijavami družbe. Statistične podatke o vrstah lova smo vključili v diplomsko delo in ugotovili, da se število nezakonitega lova na ptice z leti povečuje.Birds are part of the ecosystem, part of nature, and the world that we all share together. Birth and death are something natural, but it is also an act by which people fill their ego by rising above powerless and innocent beingskilling, torturing, imprisoning and exploiting them. Such actions, of course, are not acceptable and some of us will never understand them or close our eyes to them. It is necessary to take care of every living being and fight for their rights, because they cannot do it for themselves. People do this for several reasons. In each situation, people seek their own benefit: how they could earn and improve their social status. Because of such cases, the world is getting poorer every day and I am afraid that, one day, this situation will be more remediable. New generations will no longer know what nature was, as they will only know what they see, which will be, the destroyed ecosystem. In my diploma thesis, I wanted to present an illegal bird hunting, which contributes to the spread of wild hunters, organized associations and, of course, to the destruction of nature. In order to limit this activity, a significant change is needed in the field of ecological criminology and public opinion. While reading the assignment, you will find that you can’t rely much to the criminal or legal side. In Slovenia, only a few legal bases are intended for animals and their rights, but they do not reach the point where we could be satisfied with them. On the other hand, we can be proud of organizations and societies and volunteers who try to alleviate the daily problems of illegal hunting and inappropriate handling of birds. The largest organization in Slovenia dedicated to birds and their environment is the Society for the Observation and Study of Birds - DOPPS. They dedicate their work to the census and monitoring of the number of birds in the wild, deals with the problem of illegal bird hunting and try to expand their work to the public. They started writing annual reports in 2018, which they still do, and they provide annual statistics in the field of bird hunting, the data of which are derived from the company\u27s applications. We included statistical data on the types of hunting in the diploma thesis and found that the number of wild hunts for birds is increasing with ages
