You are welcome to watch the interview conducted with Veronika Cukrov by RTVSLO journalist Mr. Žan Dolajš for the Večerni Dnevnik, about the request for the renewal of the procedure and the suspension of the implementation of the decision on the hunting of nutria, which was submitted to the MKGP by our Law Firm Cukrov on the authority of the Alpe Adria Green Association.
In our opinion, in this particular case, allowing the hunting of nutria is a violation of Point 8 of Article 26 of the Animal Protection Act, which stipulates that the killing of an animal is permitted if it is an animal that causes significant damage and cannot be prevented in any other way. In this particular case, these conditions are not met. In accordance with judicial practice, it also applies that the public benefit represents the principle of protecting the life of animals, as a result, in the specific case, the public benefit has undoubtedly been demonstrated and the renewal of the procedure is admissible and justified. Catching nutria is also a violation of Article 17 of the Regulation of the Ljubljana Marsh Landscape Park, as the intervention does not represent the least invasive possible intervention.

On the link below, you can also see Veronika Cukrov’s statement given for the 24ur program regarding the delayed capture of nutria; our Law Firm has not yet received an official response from the MKGP regarding requests for the renewal of the procedure and the suspension of the implementation of the decision, but we understand the aforementioned delay as a positive possibility to ensure a more transparent procedure, which will include a wider range of experts in the field.
