In a Peta press release, Bonn criminal biologist Mark Benecke calls for the animals not to be killed. According to the city, nutrias continue to live in the Rheinaue. For the hunters, the order is "not connected with great joy".
The Nutrias in the Bonn Rheinaue have now also populated the Japanese Garden and are causing great damage. Visitors complain about the aggressiveness of the beaver rats. The city draws attention to the feeding ban.
