Travel agency offering hunt for lynx

A travel agency based in Usti nad Labem, North Bohemia, was offering its clients to go hunting for the Northern Lynx, which is a strictly protected animal in the Czech Republic. According to the daily Mlada fronta Dnes, the hunt was advertised on the internet and was supposed to take place in the beginning of next year. The owner of the travel agency said that his agency was only acting on behalf of a hunting company. The case is under investigation by the Czech environment inspection.
