The animals' interactions with their habitats, in the conditions of progressing changes of agrocenoses and forest phytocenoses, lead to damages of the plant cover which are described as animal-caused damages. In the case of wild game the responsibility for damage done to cultivated land and crops rests on the tenants or administrators of the pieces of land defined as the hunting grounds. The problem of damages has become serious in recent years due to the increasing populations of wild boars which cause greater damage to crops than other animals. Financial burdens of hunting inspectorates and circles are growing in step with the damage intensity and their members are often compelled to pay compensation for damage done by wild game. Under such circumstances, co-operation of hunters and farmers seems to be necessary to radically reduce the animals' influence on crops. However, in the present structural-economic conditions of Polish agriculture such co-operation is not simple and requires much effort, commitment and good will.

Many controversies have surfaced recently in connection with the legal basis of the model and functioning of hunting in Poland. In accordance with the currently binding legal solutions in this respect the right to hunting is not directly linked to the ownership of land and wild animals constitute a national good whose legal owner is the State Treasury. Such definition of the ownership of wild animals represents a specific way of emphasizing their significance as a supreme value within the natural environment system, as well as their importance for the shaping and protection of the natural environment. To optimize hunting management as an aspect of environmental protection, it is being carried out within selected administrative areas, called hunting inspectorates, which are leased to hunting circles or managed by appropriate institutions. At the same time, issues associated with legal responsibility for damage done by game to cultivated fields arouses serious controversies. This responsibility is transferred to leaseholders or supervisors of hunting inspectorates, who cover the arising obligations from their own resources, including funds obtained from the sale of the wild animals' carcasses which, by law, constitute their property. Such form of legal solutions determines the striving for optimization of hunting management and, simultaneously, limits the responsibility of the legal owner of game for damage done by it.
