Accidents during hunting occur every year, according to the statistics of the State Forest Service. There have been 25 accidents in the last 10 years, four of which have been fatal. All accidents have occurred directly in motor hunts, as well as in all these cases the reason was shooting along the hunting line.
Experts’ observations show that security breaches are often committed by experienced hunters.
“According to statistics, young, future hunters do not appear to be involved in these accidents. They have reverence for this situation, they are much more careful about weapons,” says Valters Lūsis, the head of the Hunting Department of the State Forest Service.
Meanwhile, Haralds Barviks, the head of the Latvian Hunters ‘Association, believes that the qualification requirements for hunting managers should be increased, as well as more severe penalties should be introduced for non-compliance with safety rules during hunting in the hunters’ clubs themselves.
Barviks also points out that most often such violations are on the part of experienced hunters, because they think that they know everything, everything is in order and they do not need to be taught more.
The police have launched an investigation into the tragic accident in Vilaka region; criminal proceedings have been instituted in which the young man is facing a custodial sentence of up to five years, a temporary custodial sentence or forced labor.
