Berchtesgaden / Traunstein (dpa / lby) - In the dispute over alleged unlawful shooting of chamois in the closed season, the Traunstein district court has banned the association “Wildes Bayern” from making statements.
The association and its chairman can no longer claim: "The national park hunts chamois in the closed season to feed vulture cubs" and "The national park (...) diligently hunts chamois (...) during the closed season."
The verdict was issued on April 15, said the Vice President of the Traunstein Regional Court, Andrea Titz, on Thursday.
It is not final.
The "Süddeutsche Zeitung" reported on it.
The head of the Berchtesgaden National Park, Roland Baier, took action against the statements.
Among other things, the national park plans to settle young bearded vultures shortly - they eat carrion and bones.

The association commented on its website that it was doubtful whether Baier was allowed to sue on his behalf, although he was not mentioned anywhere.
The term "closed season" is used in the Bavarian hunter test, in parlance as well as in decisions of the Bavarian Administrative Court for the shooting of game in areas in which the legal closed season has been repealed by a legal act.
"We also followed this general usage in our blog post."
Baier explained that, according to the Bavarian Hunting Act, the chamois are closed from December 16 to July 31.
In justified cases, this could be overridden for delimited areas, for example in a zone in the national park.
He offered: "I face any professional criticism and I am ready to transparently present and discuss our concept for wildlife regulation."
The club indirectly indicated to move to the next instance.
It is certain that the Munich Higher Regional Court will judge the question of whether the director of the National Park may sue in his own name in a much more differentiated manner than the Traunstein Regional Court.
