About this work
In a small country like the Netherlands, we must carefully consider the diverse interests of both humans and animals. Some animal species suffer from human activity, while others benefit from it far too much. Think of geese, foxes, and wild boar—animals that cause significant nuisance, damage, and restrict other species in their habitats.
Today, hunters focus primarily on mapping wildlife populations to determine which vulnerable species need support, in addition to hunting for food.
“We always hunt specifically for what is necessary at that moment, and with the utmost care, ensuring that unnecessary suffering is absolutely avoided. The game we harvest is thanked and honored in an age-old manner,” says hunter Klaas Evenhuis.
Hunters Klaas and his brother Sjoerd run a business in which they create products from their hunting yields, ensuring that none of the harvested game goes to waste.
