It is frightening that such an important institution as the State Audit Office, when conducting audits, does not listen to the explanations of experts but instead churns out the same rhetoric heard from extreme animal rights organisations.

Yes, I am referring here to the State Audit Office’s audit report regarding whether we manage game animals in Latvia in a farsighted way. If I were to evaluate this report as a coursework or a bachelor’s thesis, I must say – the author would receive the lowest grade.

Why? Because the document is a patchwork of assumptions, factually inaccurate, and contains tendentiously distorted information intended to achieve one desired effect – to mislead the public.
