He was one of the strongest anti-corrida activists in France.

Jean-Pierre Garrigues, President of the “Radically Anti-Corrida Committee” – CRAC and the “Bête Noire” (black beast for the bullfighters), died three years ago on the night of November 18-19, 2017 at the age of 53 years.
He had a brain tumor for many years.

Shortly before his death, he announced the dissolution of the organization.

Together with the “l’Alliance anti-corrida et la Fédération des luttes pour l’Abolition des corridas”, CRAC was one of the main associations that fought against the bloody bullfight in French arenas.
The picture of Jean-Pierre Garrigues, with the slim figure and the T-shirt, with the letters “Corrida La Honte” soaked in blood, remains unforgettable for us.

At the head of CRAC, he chained himself to the center of the arena with dozens of anti-corrida activists on August 24, 2013, in Rion-des-Landes, France, releasing blood-red smoke before chanting slogans with their fists raised. They were beaten on the ground, handcuffed, and brutally evacuated by the bull mafia.

He was at the forefront when more than 100 activists took part in the appeal by CRAC Europe (Comité radicalement anti-corrida), Animaux en Péril, and the Brigitte Bardot Foundation to protest against the planned bullfighting event in Rodilhan (southern France).

The approved demonstration under the motto “We prevent the massacre in Rodilhan!” was brutally beaten down by the police with tear gas, clubs, and rubber bullets.

Jean-Pierre Garrigues was born in Nancy in 1964 and moved to the Gard in his youth. He then became an agricultural engineer and was able to work in India and West Africa, where he specialized in tropical forest ecology.
After returning to France, he became a teacher and a passionate defender of the anti-corrida cause.

Thank you Jean Pierres Garrigues for everything you did against this bloody spectacle. On behalf of the animals, thank you!

Your struggle is already bearing fruit, the time is ticking for the animals and we know it, soon there will be no such primitive kind of animal cruelty, the ones you fought so passionately.

My best regards to all, Venus

❌‼ ️ Hanged – skinned – desecrated: Therapy dog ​​”Maddox” murdered by its own owner!

There are deeply disturbing recordings that we received recently … 👉 (Video will follow TODAY EVENING at 19:00)

In the darkness, between dense branches, contours and outlines emerge that suggest the indescribable … weak, dim light makes the whole horror more or less visible and reveals a hanging animal carcass and its executioner, who is circling its victim in a most disturbing way and repeatedly lifting his head to shake and pat it …

▪️The horror scene: a piece of land in Loxstedt, Germany, Lower Saxony
▪️The perpetrator: A mentally ill man known to the police
▪️The victim: His therapy dog ​​”Maddox”

Animal murder and desecration of corpses
A man hangs and skinned his own therapy dog in the garden

The 40-year-old has been causing discomfort in his neighborhood for a long time. The animal molester is considered unpredictable – the neighbors fear him.
His therapy dog ​​”Maddox” – a beautiful, imposing animal – was once entrusted to the mentally ill person in order to accompany him on his therapeutically supported recovery path.

The responsible veterinary office (district of Cuxhaven) had already been consulted on several occasions by the neighborhood because various abuses in the keeping and abuse of the good-natured animal by the tormentor to be treated had been heard and observed.
An intervention or even an urgently reported confiscation of the dog by the office, however, never took place.
After all, it is a therapy animal that can endure a lot.

The perpetrator hanged “Maddox” on said afternoon/evening, on November 14, 2020, on a property on a tree, then skinned it and then desecrated its body. It is not known whether the animal was killed by hanging or had been killed before.

The intervention of the police, to which the “violation of animal welfare regulations” had been reported, then took place with the support of the Special Operations Command and ultimately ended with an admission to a psychiatric institution for the animal killer.

On the evening before (November 13th, 2020) the police were deployed for the first time because witnesses observed cruel practices against the dog “Maddox” by its owner.

Overcoming the perpetrator had turned out to be quite risky and ended with a serious cut caused by the abuser against a police officer, which ultimately had to be fixed and treated by means of an emergency operation.

In view of the fact that the psycho-pathologically based aggression potential, as well as the existing unpredictability of the animal murderer, had already become apparent the day before, the inaction of the competent authorities and the dismissal of the dangerous psycho offender should be rated as grossly negligent and irresponsible!

“Maddox” was executed in the most horrific way possible by the hand of his “wards” and could still live today if the responsible veterinary office had consistently followed up on the numerous reports of those witnessing abuse, had acted early, and had withdrawn the tortured animal from its tormentor and executioner!

We at ANIMALS UNITED demand seamless and consistent monitoring and care of such complex human-animal relationships! It cannot and must not be that behaviorally unpredictable people are entrusted uncontrollably with the responsible task of caring for and looking after a living and suffering creature and that their animal protégés are exposed to the pathological disturbance impulses of their sick owners without protection!

We remember the sweet and faithful “Maddox” who was murdered by the hand of that person whose health stability he tried to improve.

And I mean…In the USA the psychopath would have been shot on his feet and thus rendered harmless.

Why should “therapy animals” even give?
Who ordered that a mentally and psychologically disturbed may have a dog for “therapy”?
So it starts!

With technically incompetent Psychologists who want to re-socialize the dangerous mentally ill through wrong treatments, diagnoses, “therapies”.

And last but not least, the weak, incompetent neighbors are to blame, everyone who noticed everything and did not interfere.

Interfered, not just with reports to incompetent officials.
5 or 6 people armed with sticks would have managed to save the dog from the violence of the psychopath.

I will not post the promised video.
That doesn’t help the victim.
And those who filmed it should next try to prevent a murder through civic courage, not clicktivism.

My best regards to all, Venus
