New “committee” video about the larks hunting in France: The hunt for larks and lovebirds is in full swing. Despite declining stocks across Europe, France, Spain and Italy have once again released millions of larks and lovebirds for hunting this month.

That is why today the “Committee against Bird Murder” has submitted a comprehensive environmental complaint to the European Commission. The shooting of these species on the train is not sustainable and accelerates the decline of breeding birds in Germany and elsewhere.

The hunting laws of France, Spain and Italy therefore violate the EU Birds Directive. Our complaint is based on recent studies showing both the massive decline of these species in Germany and the United Kingdom and the official firing of around 900,000 larks and 1.5 million lovebirds per year in the Mediterranean.

On the French Atlantic coast skylarks may additionally be caught with huge nets. A video released by the committee today shows for the first time how skylarks are captured by French hunters and then killed. The footage is already several years old, but has been withheld by us for legal reasons so far. The documented fishing method is still common practice today.

As bait live decoys serve. The specially caught larks are tethered at their feet and connected with a long cord to the bird catcher, who sits in a hut on the edge of the plant. When birds approach the nets, the bird catcher pulls on the cords and the tailed animals start to flutter excitedly. The catcher imitates the air call of the larks with a whistle and can thus lure a whole swarm into ruin.

When enough birds have gathered, the bird catcher triggers a mechanism and the several hundred square meters of nets collapse over them. It is allowed in two departments each bird catcher to set up to 300 catching cages for larks.

Officially, more than 3,000 birdcatchers are allowed to catch larks, the rate differs depending on the department and is in the Gironde, for example, at 336 larks per catcher per year. A total of 1 million skylarks may be caught, but in truth there are probably a few hundred more!

My comment: Crimes against animals have become more professional.
Mafia methods everywhere.
It continues to be hunted, murdered, tortured.

All these crimes are partially ignored, tacitly condoned or made possible on corrupt hunting lobbyists in politics.

In addition, they are made possible by a perpetrator friendly judiciary and an indifferent society, which does not want to openly condemn these crimes, and sells its cowardice as “tolerance”.

Received anonymously:

LPN Fazan “Pheasant” Beltinci is the biggest Slovenian hunting farm for pheasants, Mallard (Anas platyrhynchos) and partridge (Perdic perdix) are also raised.

They are being hunted with dogs or/and falcons. The cages were opened and pheasants, partridges, mallards were guided towards freedom.
Their ascent towards full Moon was something that belonged to them and life purposed.

Their future death should be natural and free. Authorities counted 850 escaped beings.

….and another good news from Chile:

Three torture rings damaged by arson

On September 17, a rodeo ring in La Ligua (Valparaíso) was heavily damaged by fire. According to media reports, leaflets were found at the site, including one that said, “See how your tradition burns. Justice for animals”!

It was the third attack this month against Chilean rodeo.

In the early hours of September 14, a rodeo ring in Paredones (O’Higgins) was set on fire.

Early on September 7, a rodeo ring in Curacaví was damaged by fire. Firefighters found leaflets against the rodeo at the site!

In order to prevent the spread of swine fever in Germany (where so far not a single case has been reported), sow bottom-catches are tested in Lower Saxony!

In certain counties in Lower Saxony, the Lower Saxony Ministry of Agriculture has new execution methods, the so-called “sow bottom-catches” set up. These are about 20 square meters of fishing enclosures, in which entire pig herds can be trapped and killed. The ministry considers this more effective than individual shootings. This should not only be allowed if the virus is detected, but also for prevention (!!!)

There, the hunters lay out food for the wild boars until they go into the cage with the whole group. Then the flap closes and the aktion ends in a masacre. This should not only be allowed if the virus is detected, but also for prevention (!!!).

“The hunt in bottom traps usually ends in a masacre, says the Chairman of the Animal Welfare Association of Lower Saxony Dieter Ruhnke. In escape attempts, the pigs injured each other. In order to meet them more purpose, hunters need an “extensive shooting training” that they have not received, criticized Ruhnke, who considers the increased hunting for fear of African swine anyway absolutely absurd.

He rejects the regulation as well as the preventive use of traps. All this serves only to protect the meat industry.

African swine fever is a disease affecting both wild and domestic swine. It is harmless to humans, as is the consumption of infected pork.

It spreads through blood and blood-containing tissue. For example, if a hunter shoots an infected boar, has blood on his shoe and then goes to his pigsty, he can lure the virus in. The same applies to a carelessly thrown sausage bread, which is eaten by a boar. Very slow, however, is the spread of wild boar to wild boar.

The disease almost always ends in death for the animals. For pig farmers, the outbreak of the virus in their own barn represents a major economic loss.  Although they are well compensated for it. From the EU fund, that means with our money.

Farmer slaughter their pigs anyway, that is, they do not care whether the animals are slashed open in the slaughterhouse or die from African plague.
Only .. in the second case they can not make a profit.

The Vice President of the German Farmers’ Association, Werner Schwarz (who operates a pig mast himself), has given us a “clear explanation” to why in the “Land of Meat Mafia” (Germany) hunters and their policy accomplices invest so much imagination, money and effort in preventative murder methods for something that has not even claimed a sacrifice in their own stables:

“The economic and social impact of an outbreak of African swine fever is hard to imagine.
Already the appearance in the boar population would mean that pork can no longer be exported to third countries, ie to countries outside the EU “!

And if we translate that into mathematical numbers, then 600,000 wild boars should be killed (with premiums of 25 euros per boar), so that about 60,000,000 pigs (so many are slaughtered per year in Germany) can be slaughtered.

Now we have understand.
Madness up two.

Today I read the following message on news portal t-online: Tragic accident in Italy: man shoots his own father in boar hunting!!

Fatal accident in Italy: In the hunt for a wild boar, a 34-year-old accidentally shot his father in the stomach. The man died at the scene of the accident.

A son in Italy shot his father hunting wild boar. The 34-year-old man is accused of negligent homicide, reported Italian news agencies, citing the investigative authorities. The two men were on the weekend in southern Sicignano degli Alburni at Salerno on the hunt.

The 55-year-old father was in the line of fire of his son. The son confused his father, who had rustled in bushes, with a wild boar. The shot had hit the father in the stomach, the man had died on the spot. Both were said to have been traveling in an area where the hunt is actually prohibited, it said in the reports.

Again and again it comes in Italy to fatal accidents in the hunt. The Animal Welfare Officer and former Tourism Minister Michela Vittoria Brambilla called for an “end to the Wild West in the woods and in the fields”.

And I mean…Of course, any accident involving human victims in hunting is called a tragedy.
And if the hunter had shot the boar?
And if the animal also had a family, a mother, or a fatter, or children?
That would not be a tragedy, that would be hunting!
Such messages are always portrayed in such a way that a philanthropic pity should arise. Automatically.
And those who do not feel pity for these murderers, when they fall victim to it themselves and out of their own guilt, are degraded to being a misanthrope.
Also automatically.
The moral education of our society forbids a just moral analogy between human and animal species.

Alone the wording of the message: “tragedy in Italy” is already propaganda against animals.

Report from “Committee against the bird murder e.V”.

War against train birds in Lebanon: In the first days of the large committee bird protection camp in Lebanon, our teams have already observed hundreds of hunters who, without regard to and in violation of the hunting law, have attacked everything within reach of their guns.

Not far from the city of Danniyeh in the north of the “Cedar State”, a committee team witnessed a true migratory bird massacre: Hunters had set up electronic decoys with goat-song singing during the night and shot at the birds with the help of giant spotlights.

Hundreds of shots were fired without the police intervening. As dawn set in, we inspected the area and found dozens of dead birds – especially goat’s milkweed, scops owls and a short-toed eagle (see current photos).

One of the owls was still alive, but died shortly thereafter of their serious injuries. The committee and its partners SPNL have today called on the government to significantly expand its efforts against poaching to tackle this ecological catastrophe!

My comment: Every year tens of millions of migratory birds are killed.
In Lebanon, in Cyprus, in Malta … Exhausted from the journey that lies behind them, the birds there look for a shelter to rest. The murders exploit this moment and shoot the animals up close. The result: Every year environmental activists read about 25 million empty cartridge cases.

German companies earn money with weapons and ammunition beautiful with.

Machismo culture plays an important role in poaching: men proudly pose in photographs with their trophies taken. The bigger the better. Many upload the pictures on social networks.

These crimes continue to take place with the help of an offender-friendly system and of course of a society that claims to be “tolerant”, which is nothing but cowardice openly to condemning these crimes.
