When Swiss and German S.P.C.A. members staged a protest meeting, angry hunters bombarded them with birdshot. So far, the hapless Belchen's only hope is fog. On both the Swiss and German sides of Lake Constance, Belchen hunting in the fog is prohibited: a stray shot might nick a hunter, and this would be considered bad form, even for a Belchenjagd...
