It’s hard to believe that these cruel manslaughter traps are still allowed. Animals often suffer miserably for hours!

Many people do not know that the cruel manslaughter traps are still allowed almost everywhere in Germany.

In theory, manslaughter traps are supposed to kill immediately, but often they don’t. Many animals die a slow and agonizing death in these traps.

They get in with their paws or face and are often badly mutilated or slowly crushed to death.

Cats and endangered species also fall victim to homicide traps

Manslaughter traps must be set up in so-called trapping bunkers, gardens or boxes to ensure that people do not step in and that only certain animal species can fit in. However, this is not the case.

Often cats or protected animal species also fall into the traps. In Hessen, for example, the protected ermine was listed in the trap statistics on the 2016/2017 hunting route. Even the friendlier sounding live traps end with a headshot for the trapped animal.

Animal suffering remains largely hidden from the public eye. However, we always receive whistleblower reports that bring to light the suffering of the animals through the hunt.
In Baden-Württemberg, Berlin, Hesse, North Rhine-Westphalia, Saarland and Thuringia, homicide traps are already completely or largely prohibited.

However, in these federal states, too, an application for trapping can usually be made with the approval of the hunting authorities.

Report: Together for the animals

BIG CATS IN SOUTH AFRICA – BREED TO BE KILLED!
A new surveillance video that was leaked to “Four Paws” shows the true extent of the horrific big cat breeding in South Africa.
The images show countless of these sensitive animals in completely overcrowded and dirty cages and enclosures.

Experts assume that around 12,000 lions and an unreported number of tigers suffer this fate in South Africa.
And they were born just to die.

The country rose to become today’s largest exporter of big cats and their body parts in the world.
The majority is sold to China, Vietnam, Laos and Thailand.

Not only does the absolutely unspecific breeding of animals cause unspeakable animal suffering, no, it also promotes species extinction and the development of zoonoses.
Quote from Fiona Miles, director of “Four Paws” South Africa:

“The images show that tigers in South Africa are intensively bred for commercial purposes and that enormous animal suffering is caused in the process.”
But unfortunately not just tigers.

ANSE denounces the release of 16,000 farm partridges for hunting in championships
The organization points out that the mass release of captive-bred species endangers biodiversity.

The Association of Southeast Naturalists has denounced the authorization issued by the general director of the Natural Environment, Fulgencio Perona, to 29 hunting societies for the release of 16,000 partridges from farms a few days ago after the opening of the general small hunting business period.

The environmental organization considers that this type of practice “moves away from an acceptable hunting management and seeks to cover up the situation of decline of the red partridge, allowing massive releases of animals born in captivity, being a practice more typical of intensive reserves.”

The fate of these captive-bred partridges is to be killed on the morning of their release, so it would be practices similar to those developed in intensive reserves, to which this organization has been showing its opposition for a long time.

In these places, “instead of managing and taking advantage of populations of wild animals, specimens raised on farms for that purpose are killed.”

And I mean…Hunters are not just professional killers, they are professional liars too
Hunters LIE when they say they control overpopulation this way.
It’s not about reducing overpopulation – not even about meat production – they could kill the tame animals with a knife.

The animals should be shot in flight because it’s so much fun. None of these criminals is interested in the fact that most animals are badly hit and that the injured are often attacked by hunting dogs.
That is terrible cruelty to animals.

Unfortunately, it is not forbidden for a hunter to hold thousands of breeding birds in order to shoot them.
As long as no one knows what’s going on out there, hunters have absolute freedom.

And even if the public learns about it and some press portals report about it, authorities and municipalities hurry to protect this violent and bloody action in many ways.

For this reason: everything that is practiced with the purpose of sneaky shooting down animals– including canned hunting, the release of farmed pheasants, year-round feeding of deer and the killing of animals of endangered species – is the worst animal cruelty and must be prohibited by law.

P.S: For everyone who cannot imagine such a killing gate, here is a short video example from “Association against animal factories” (VgT, Austria )where in less than a minute it becomes clear what massacre it is and what sadistic fun it is.

Many animals on the run have broken jaws and open injuries, and some are tortured to death by dogs.

Year long report, Germany– by North American Animal Liberation Press Office

Via: various local and regional newspapers.

According to local press, two hunting seats in Billiger Forest in Euskirchen (North Rhine-Westphalia) were set alight on the 20th of August.

This is not the first time that persons unknown have targeted Billiger Forest.
A total of eighteen hunting seats and towers have been destroyed in Billiger Forest since the beginning of the year, either by cutting or by setting on fire.

On the 26th of August in Eitzendorf (Lower Saxony) a hunting hut on wheels was targeted too.
Animal shit was found smeared over the walls, equipment was stolen, tyres slashed and windows broken.

In between the 29th of September and the 2nd of October, the police reported a total of 17 hunting towers felled in Erzgebirgskreis (Saxony) using a chainsaw.

On the 8th of October, a hunter in Vilsbiburg (Lower Bavaria) realised that the central locking nut that holds the high seat together had been removed when he fell of the tower as soon as he sat on it.

He then checked another seven towers in the area that had been manipulated in the exact same way, leaving no visible marks to identify the the towers were broken but ready to fall as soon as someone used them.

The police has recommended the hunters to check the towers and seats before using them to avoid injury.

Meanwhile, on the 10th of October the fire brigade responded to a call reporting a hunting hut on fire in Königslutter (Lower Saxony).

For the creative award, in June a hunter in Cuxhaven (Lower Saxony) reported that someone had set up a trap inside of his hunting tower.

Using holes and a rope, someone prepared a mechanism that would ensure that as soon as the tower’s door was open, a bucket of manure would fall on top of the hunter’s head.

And I mean…To be a hunter means to commit and execute the murder of innocent animals.
To like this class of society you have to be very jaded.

These actions are not about personal enmities
It is about the defense of generally applicable ethical structures in this world.
Man is what he does. Nothing else.

Killing animals is not an expression of rationality and common sense;
Letting animals live is species-appropriate because it corresponds to their right to life.
Like it or not.

If hunters don’t get it, then they have to live with the fact that others have found a way to make it clear to them

And these will always find a way.
We are grateful to them for that

Shocking undercover investigation exposes auction house of horrors where over 550 hunting trophies are sold to the highest bidder
Animal feet, skulls, legs, ears, claws, bones, hides and full body taxidermy, including threatened and endangered species, show the pitiful results of the trophy hunting industry!!

Animal feet, skulls, legs, ears, claws, bones, hides and full body taxidermy, including threatened and endangered species, show the pitiful results of the trophy hunting industry!

WASHINGTON—A shocking undercover investigation recently conducted in Iowa by the Humane Society of the United States and Humane Society International found what can only be described as a massive garbage bin of the trophy hunting industry.

A four-day event where thousands of animals—including at least 557 hunting trophies of mammals no longer wanted by the people who killed them—were sold to the highest bidders.
Shelves and bins were packed with discarded trophies including threatened and endangered species like elephants and polar bears, other imperiled foreign species like giraffes and hippos, and countless trophies of American wildlife like grizzly bears, black bears and mountain lions.

Auction items included grotesque home décor such as tables and lamps made from giraffe legs and feet, tables made from African elephant feet and a juvenile giraffe taxidermy.

The auction also included at least 50 rugs made from animals including black bears, grizzly bears, zebras, wolves and mountain lions. The investigator saw piles of giraffe leg bones, sets of hippo teeth and a dusty box labeled “elephant ears and skin.”

Kitty Block, president and CEO of the Humane Society of the United States, said: “It is unconscionable that not only are these threatened and endangered species of wild animals killed by trophy hunters, but the souvenirs from these hunts are ultimately mothballed and sold off at a fairground full of unwanted animal body parts.
This massive display of animal death is a devastating snapshot of what it looks like when species are being pushed to the brink of extinction.”
