Criminal charges for the killing of a she-wolf

On the night of February 11, a wolf was killed in the Osnabrück-Emsland region of Lower Saxony (Germany) with the permission of the state (!!!)

According to Lower Saxony’s Environment Minister Olaf Lies, the so-called “Herzlaker wolf pack” based there is said to have torn sheep over a long period of time. The animal that was shot is a she-wolf.
The exemption, however, related to a male animal (!!!)

At the end of last week, PETA filed a criminal complaint with the Oldenburg public prosecutor’s office against those responsible – including the unknown hobby hunter and officials.

In addition to the current killing of the she-wolf without specific permission, the animal rights organization fundamentally criticizes wolf killings because it only protects the economic interests of the sheep farmers.

“According to the Lower Saxony state government, wolves should die so that shepherds do not suffer any financial losses.
That is a highly unethical motive.
The shepherds are not concerned with the welfare of the animals.
The supposed idyll on the pasture must not hide the fact that sheep are almost always violently killed in the slaughterhouse – with everything that goes with the animal industry: animal transports, failed stunning, fear, and pain.
The shooter’s permission to hunt must be withdrawn immediately, as he is apparently unable to distinguish a female from a male.
There are numerous case studies in which hunters shot away even though they could not make sure that it was the right animal. “
(Dr. Edmund Haferbeck, head of the Law and Science Department at PETA).

Hunters see wolves as “competitors”

In PETA’s opinion, the special permit for the shooting in Lower Saxony violated the provisions of the Federal Nature Conservation Act and the Animal Welfare Act.
The organization points out that some hunters, farmers, and politicians want the wolf to lose its protected status and to be included in hunting law as a huntable animal species.

The hunters claim that native wildlife lacks natural enemies such as the wolf, while hunters kill them themselves.

Predators are often viewed and pursued by hobby hunters as competition.
For farmers, on the other hand, protective measures mean additional costs or effort – and there is no longer any profit to be made from wracked animals that would otherwise have been forcibly killed in the slaughterhouse.

And I mean…It is basically the hunters who, for whatever reason, want to get the wolf free to shoot.
The wolf is listed as an excess to be reduced, as the individualized evil, as the suspiciously guilty party that needs to be destroyed.

Whole packs even disappear just like that from the scene: the wolf is Targeted at any place, at any time, on the basis of secret criteria and secret evidence, which are classified as necessary in secret procedures by unknown and largely anonymous persons in charge, without any scientific foundation, without any evidence.

Wild animals make up just 3% of the total biomass of land vertebrates on earth!
The rest is “useful” animals + human animals!

According to the German Federal Statistical Office, an average of more than two million animals are slaughtered here every day ”.
Per day!
“150 billion animals are slaughtered worldwide every year, 4756 per second …”

So, the criminal is not the wolf, but the meat and dairy industry, in which the small farmers are (also) involved.

The predators do not practice any environmentally damaging factory farming, they either eat what is there or starve to death.

Germany is the country where a pitiful minority of 388,000 hunters (0.45% of the population) have turned the forest, lake, and the rest of our nature into a shooting range and that with the support of the state ministers and politicians …

The hunting world is much worse than we can imagine.

E-Mail from the German Hunting Association (DJV) to its members:

“Dear hunters,

In the following, I will give you information from the DJV, according to which hunting opponents will probably be active in different parts of Germany.

Because the DJV is currently receiving frequent reports of hunting-critical activities in hunting grounds by hunters at the base.
At the same time, the DJV noticed increased activities in the direction of hunting disruption and hunting sabotage in internet forums and social media groups.

The SOKO-Animal Welfare Association is currently calling for all trap-catching locations in Germany to be reported to the association (https://www.facebook.com/AktionsbuendnisFuchs/posts/715503882318036) *.

Image: SOKO-Animal Welfare Association

In Lower Saxony, the Animal Liberation Front (ALF) recently destroyed the Celle hunter’s burrow facility overnight and released the foxes.

In animal rights forums, the DJV finds calls and plans for further acts of sabotage, increasingly through “profiles” from Hesse, Rhineland-Palatinate, North Rhine-Westphalia, and Lower Saxony.

The campaign of Pro Fox Alliance has recently started a campaign against fox hunting: https://www.aktionsbuendnis-fuchs.de/

This is supported by Hannes Jaenicke (German actor) and Peter Wohlleben (forester)

The GEO Magazine has now also reported on this: https: //www.geo.de /…/ 24077-rtkl-tierschutz-streitthema …

At the same time, the animal rights organization PETA is currently launching a campaign (LINK: https://www.peta.de/kampagnen/fuchsjagd-stoppen/) to stop fox hunting.

Be particularly vigilant in the near future and report suspicious activities to the DJV (!!!)
If you see calls for criminal offenses on the Internet, please send screenshots with URLs and time tamp to us or directly to the DJV.

Please also pay attention to possibly sabotaged high seats such as sawn-off ladders etc (!!!)”

And I mean…The hunters are mobilizing.!!
They are slowly losing the ground under their feet! They notice that more and more people do not want to accept that their peaceful forests are turned into battlefields for defenseless animals.

In Germany, there is no nature reserve, no forest, no lake that is not subject to hunting.
Our remaining natural environment and the wild animals living in it have been degraded to a shooting range by a wretched minority (0.45% of the population, 388,000 hobby hunters).

Some animal rights activists who published the DJV’s email on their Facebook page have already been threatened.

The standard method used by German hunters is the intimidation method.
The heavily armed gang was always of the opinion that not only the animals in the forest but also any hunting opponents can terrorize.
Those days are over!

* SOKO Animal Welfare Association made an appeal on Facebook in January of this year, I quote:

“Who can help?

We are looking for hunting trap locations. Alive or homicide traps.
Anyone who knows such locations: Please doesn`t comment here, but send us exact location data and, if possible, a photo by PM. Thank you.

Update: Since the various hunters are just going crazy again, I would like to remind you again that the forest in Germany is free.
That means, you can enter it, you can relax there and also take photos. Of course, as always, you should pay attention to signs, leave them as you found them, and show consideration for yourself, animals, and third parties.

Anyone who knows SOKO Animal Welfare Association knows that our tactics are always peaceful, legal, and successful. In this sense, enjoy nature, respect its inhabitants, and do not allow yourself to be patronized by people who think the German forest is their private playground”.

My best regards to all, Venus

Mr. Pastor goes hunting!

Manuel Fetthauer is a Protestant theologian and passionate hunter!
Some of his parishioners wonder whether a pastor can really just put a rifle on to go hunting in the forest.

The Protestant theologian Manuel Fetthauer from Rhineland-Palatinate has a clear answer.

Manuel Fetthauer prefers to sit under a gnarled cherry tree, with a view of a small valley basin, deserted fields, and the edge of the forest.
Here in the Hintertaunus, he can switch off from everything that kept him busy during the day.
The Protestant pastor from Rhineland-Palatinate has a passion that one would not expect from a theologian: Whenever he has the time, he buckles his rifle on and goes hunting.

Anyone who wanders through their hunting grounds with Fetthauer quickly understands that there is someone who knows their way around nature.
The 32-year-old knows which bird calls can be heard and which paths the animals usually use.
“The forest is not in good shape,” he says. It is the third dry year in a row and many branches have dried up.

Pastor Fetthauer

Red deer harm the trees says Mr. Pastor

In addition to the long drought, the numerous red deer also bothered the trees, he says.
The animals eat the buds of young plants or gnaw on the bark.
Fetthauer has already seen 200 red deer roaming past his hide in a single evening. Restoring the natural balance is also a kind of “creation mission”  (!!!) for the hunted theologian.

Hunting opponents see it differently.
For example, the animal rights organization “PETA” has launched a “Christians for Animals” campaign, which specifically encourages believing people to adopt a vegan lifestyle.
The traditional annual Hubertus masses and hunter services are a thorn in the side of the critics.

The President of the German Animal Welfare Association, Thomas Schröder, accused the churches of justifying the “senseless killing of millions of animals under the guise of customs”.
Even St. Hubertus, the patron saint of hunters, has renounced the hunt, according to legend, after Christ spoke to him in the form of a stag.

Fetthauer likes many of the hunter’s customs.

He celebrates hunting services in November because they also appeal to the hunters’ sense of responsibility, as he says, and he also plays the hunting horn himself.

In the past seven years, 12 dead lynx were found in Bavaria (Germany).
The number of unreported cases could be much higher. The perpetrators have not yet been identified. The Socialist Party of Germany (SPD) criticizes this fact and demands results.

Since 2011, 12 dead lynx have been found in Bavaria.

This is in response from the Interior Ministry to a request from the SPD in the state parliament.
The number of unreported cases could be 36.

According to this, six lynxes were killed by shooting or poisoning, and another six animals were found as stuffed trophies.
According to the ministry, five lynx were also killed in traffic accidents.

There are still no perpetrators (!!!)

The State Office for the Environment names another 14 cases in which wild lynx have been killed.
In none of the six proven killings, a perpetrator could be identified.
The police were able to find few investigative approaches in the cases despite securing and analyzing evidence, according to the authority.

Lynx poaching in Bayer, 2020: The case was dropped for lack of evidence (!!) © WWF

The SPD member Florian von Brunn criticizes this fact.

At the end of 2015, a dead lynx was found that was believed to have been strangled. It is also particularly strange that there is still no information about the findings of the investigation into two lynxes killed in the Cham district in 2015.
At that time there was a police search of a hunter’s house.

“We still don’t know what came out of the ammunition investigation” (Florian von Brunn)

The Bavarian Ministry of the Environment offered a reward of 10,000 euros for reports on the perpetrators.
The Federation of Nature Conservation in the Regen district demanded the creation of a special police unit against poaching in the Bavarian Forest.

The state of investigation regarding the killing of the lynx “Alus”, whose carcass was found in September 2017, is still unclear, complains Florian von Brunn.

Continue reading “Germany: the lynx is strictly protected= in seven years 36 illegal shot lynxes!” →

A walker sent PETA images showing numerous foxes hung up on the Doimahof in Alxing, Bavaria.

The dead animals were tied to wooden pegs there.

PETA filed a complaint about harassment of the general public under Section 118 of the Administrative Offenses Act.

In addition, PETA calls on the people in charge of the Doimahof – which also runs a hotel and restaurant trade – to stop making their property available for such life-threatening activities.

And I mean…The German hunters, the best of all people, show the stupid world once again how to properly do and show mass murder.

A law always helps because the worst part is that it is legal.

Willingness to use violence and the protection of the law, that is all that hunters need for an animal massacre

The village society is obviously outraged by the “indecent” souvenirs on the tree, which give the village a bad reputation, but not for the annual mass murder of 500,000 foxes in Germany by hunters

These are unbearable images for a civilized country

regards and good night, Venus

Report- Committee Against Bird Murder (CABS)

Employees of the Committee against Bird Murder (CABS) and a special unit of the Italian police have jointly taken action against illegal hunting and the trade on migratory birds in the Veneto region over the past 10 days.

The main focus of the controls was the lagoons south of Venice, in which hundreds of thousands of waterbirds from northern and central Europe are currently wintering.
As reported by the Committee against Bird Murder, 22 hunters were caught red-handed shooting down protected species or hunting with prohibited bait systems.

In addition, 21 shotguns, 6,400 rounds of ammunition, nine prohibited electronic decoys, and three professional poultry plucking machines were seized.

In a butcher’s shop in Padua supplied by the poachers, 961 frozen wild birds were seized during a search, including gadfly, pochard, teal pintail, shoveler, and white-fronted geese.
Criminal proceedings were initiated against the suspects for poaching, possession of unregistered firearms, and violating the marketing bans.

In the weeks leading up to the action, experts from the committee (CABS) had spent days collecting evidence against poachers from rubber dinghies, and then leading Carabinieri officials to their shooting huts.

The action is the largest campaign to date against poaching in the difficult-to-access lagoon landscape, which is of international importance for nature conservation as a resting and wintering area.

Committee chairman Heinz Schwarze thanked the authorities involved for the good cooperation and announced further assignments in Venice.

https://wildbeimwild.com/law-order/schlag-gegen-illegale-vogeljagd-in-venezien/43074/2021/02/09/

And I mean…Many of the animals were freshly shot, says the committee, and had just been handed in by hunters, while others were already plucked and frozen in sacks.
All species are strictly prohibited from marketing in Italy.
The birds – almost all of them endangered throughout Europe – were intended for restaurants in Venice.

Excellent job in all respects!
We thank and congratulate the courageous activists of the CABS

Last week the Dutch House of Representatives approved a motion to remove both the brown hare and the rabbit from the “Wildlife List”.
This means that it would no longer be possible to hunt these species in the Netherlands in the future.

The Dutch Hunters Association criticizes the application as “unnecessary and legally unfeasible”.They say: Rabbits and brown hares would still be common and widespread in the Netherlands.

The “Partij voor de Dieren” (Party for Animal Welfare) recently tried to change the National Wildlife List in a parliamentary debate.

At the time, the party demanded that game species that are on the “Red List” be automatically removed from the list of huntable species.
Since a majority was not foreseeable at the time, the party withdrew its proposal.

Even then it was unclear whether a change in the “Wildlife List” could be legally enforced at all since the “Red List” has no legal status.
The hunters’ association claims that the animal welfare party had already tried in the past to abuse the corona crisis or the outbreak of bird flu for hunting bans.

In a renewed attempt to change the huntable species, the party was now successful.
With the support of the “Democrats 66”, the required majority for the “Partij voor de Dieren” proposal was now available.
The “Hunters` Association” accuses the “Democrats 66” of having cheated voters with the 180-degree turn shortly before the elections.
In December, the “D66” was still critical of the change to the “game list”.

As a result of the re-evaluation of the brown hare and rabbit on the basis of the updated “Red List” in 2020, both wild species were classified as “endangered”.

The hunters’ association does not want to accept the change in the game list without a fight and, if necessary, take it to the European Court of Justice (!!!)

https://www.jagderleben.de/news/hasen-kaninchenjagd-niederlanden-bald-verboten-712502

And I mean... one thing in advance: The European Court of Justice will not work, they have other worries
They are particularly busy with the naughtiness of the Germans, as we reported yesterday.
And in this case, it’s about bigger “rabbits”!

We welcome the correct decision of the Dutch Parliament!
The great pleasure of the Dutch hunters (like all hunters), to shoot defenseless animals cowardly from ambush while looking for food, – although no one needs their flesh and skin to survive- is now over.
As murderous as they are, they will try to fight this morally very progressive decision of the Dutch parliament by all means.

But the days of hunter dominance in media, politics, and society are finally over.

There is no such thing as a hunter ideology, and the majority of society regards hunters as militant, harmful weirdos.

My best regards to all, Venus
