Loving swans in the wild is prohibited. Sharon Dijksma Secretary (Economic Affairs) wants a ban put an end to the so-called swans drifting.

Swans Drifters maim the animals to prevent them from flying away. This leewieken, where a piece of the wing is cut, must be done by a veterinarian. But in practice it is difficult to determine whether the swans drifters do not have to. Therefore Dijksma looking at banning the swans drifting. Leewieken is completely prohibited from 2018.

Dijksma refers to abuses that emerge from an examination of the police and to images of a whistleblower who show EenVandaag hair. “These are practices that really does not pass muster and which must be halted.”

EenVandaag found that supervisor NVWA until two years ago was not acting against leewieken the swans drifters. According Dijksma this was because NVWA mistakenly thought this was permitted. The State reported the parliament that there were no violations in 2012. identified, but that does not beat, Dijksma wrote Friday to the House. The NVWA will now enforce stricter rules.
