as posted by the channel

Elk are largely a protected species in Poland. But for hunters and drivers, the growing population is a problem. Poland is debating how to deal with its growing elk population. Farmers report severe crop damage, while media reports highlight deadly road accidents involving elk. In the Biebrza National Park in northeastern Poland, home to the country’s largest elk population, conservationists stress the animal’s recovery and ecological value. Critics call for renewed hunting, but authorities say counting the animals comes first. The controversy remains unresolved.
