Wild fauna is attracting ever greater attention with regard to the interlocking conditions of its existence. One recognises how the life cycle of animals fits wisdom-filled into a larger whole — indeed, how they are collectively in their activity the organs of execution in the development of organismic wholeness. It is therefore the farmer's task to give wild fauna in the broadest sense the same attentive care and stewardship as domestic animals. In the case of mammals this happens, among other things, through hunting — though self-interested motives play their part here just as frequently as, in another way, does the combating of so-called pests through biocides. Each of the various animal species contributes something to the enrichment and strengthening of the soul organisation of the farm or village organism. Any thoughtless intervention in this complex web of relationships makes it fall ill and weakens its powers of self-healing.
