Carcasses of large grazers in nature reserves almost no risk
Carcasses large grazers in nature is hardly a risk to public and animal health
Leaving carcasses of large grazers such as cattle and horses in nature is hardly a risk to public and animal health. In the Netherlands, carcasses of large herbivores (cattle, horses) in the wild have to be removed. Carcasses in nature are a part of the "circle of life, therefore Dutch nature conservationists want to leave carcasses of large grazers in the large nature areas Oostvaardersplassen and the Veluwezoom. This would contribute substantially to the public debate about nature values.

As such, LHF has been a real pioneer.
