Germany: new execution methods for wild boar

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 (!!!)

Umstrittene Wildschweinfalle

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.

My best regards to all, Venus

Italy: a tragedy that was not one

 

italiapg

 

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

Jäger im Hochsitz

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.

Cover_Haderer

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.

wildschweinjagdjpg

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”.

https://www.t-online.de/nachrichten/panorama/id_86500070/tragischer-unfall-in-italien-mann-erschiesst-eigenen-vater-bei-wildschwein-jagd.html

 

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.

Tanzania / USA: Under Trump, the U.S. Department of the Interior Reversed a Ban on Elephant-Trophy Imports.

Tanz

 

Hi Mark,

A threatened lion in Tanzania was gunned down for sport — and now the killer will be bringing the body home to hang on his wall.

This is the first trophy-import permit for a Tanzanian lion issued since these majestic cats were protected under the Endangered Species Act. And it could kick the door wide open for elephants, lions and more species to be shot in Tanzania so their bodies can be dragged back to the States.

We must put an end to this kind of behaviour before it spreads. Please give now to support our fight to save lions and other endangered species.

Despite Trump calling trophy hunting a “horror show,” his administration has repeatedly gone out of its way to clear the path for overseas slaughter of threatened species.

trump hunt cartoon1

First the U.S. Department of the Interior reversed a ban on elephant-trophy imports from Zimbabwe. Then it created a council riddled with conflicts of interest and packed with Safari Club members and NRA bigwigs to “advise” on trophy-hunting decisions.

And now we’re seeing the results: the first permit for a Tanzanian lion being issued to a Florida-based hunter. It’s no coincidence this lion killer’s legal representative sits on Interior’s sham, pro-trophy-hunting council.

This permit bodes ill for wildlife in Tanzania, home to roughly 40 percent of Africa’s lions and up to half of the elephants in eastern Africa. The administration could greenlight more lion, and maybe even elephant, trophy imports.

trump feb 2

Trophy hunting of the world’s threatened species must be stopped.

We’re in the courts fighting the administration’s pro-trophy agenda. And we’re rallying our members to push Congress to use its legislative powers to abolish the pro-trophy hunting council and force these import decisions into the public eye.

It’s past time to put an end to the fat-cat privilege of gunning down the Earth’s magnificent, rare wildlife for the sake of an ego boost.

Please give now to support our fight to stop trophy-hunt imports.

For the wild,

Lebanon: with mafia methods against migratory birds

 

libanon-flagge-jpg

 

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.

tote Zugvögel-Libanon jpg

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).

erschossener Adler-Libanon jpg

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!

erschoßene Eule-Libanonpg

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.

hunting-in-lebanon

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.

My best regards, Venus

Should Surfers Boycott the 2020 Olympics in Japan over Taiji and Whaling?

Should surfers be competing for Olympic medals in the same waters where dolphins & whales are being slaughtered or is this an opportunity for us to take a stand and defend.

Japan: Taiji Dolphin Hunt Is Underway – A Message from Ric; Director of Dolphin Project.

Japan

 

On September 1, individuals across the world took to the streets and stood up on behalf of dolphins. While you held up signs, and helped educate why dolphins should be celebrated, the dolphin hunters of Taiji, Japan readied their boats in preparation for the annual drive hunts. Less than two weeks in, it’s already been a brutal season.

Dolphin Project Returns to the Cove

Sixteen years ago when I first stood on the shores of the Cove, observing in horror as dolphins were selected for “life” in captivity and slaughtered for their meat, we didn’t have the benefit of social media to shed an international spotlight on these atrocities. We do, now – and this truly is the heart and soul of Dolphin Project’s campaign in Taiji. By live streaming and documenting the brutal dolphin hunts, Japan can no longer hide their crimes against dolphins and nature.

Worldwide protests

Thanks to your activism and sharing our images and live streams, much progress has been made. Japanese activists have come back to Taiji, stepping up their fight from within. In many parts of the world, the captivity of dolphins and other whales has been banned. Breeding bans have been enacted. Major tour operators have stopped selling tickets to attractions that keep dolphins in captivity. The tide is definitely changing.

Above – Dolphins selected to become circus performers will never lead a normal life again, now totally dependent on their human captors for food, Taiji, Japan.

Credit: DolphinProject.com

With the Taiji annual dolphin hunt now underway, more than ever, I’m asking for your help. As the only organization consistently on the ground in Taiji, we are determined to keep shining a light on what happens there. It’s imperative we live stream and keep documenting, but we can’t do this without your generous support.

Our field team will be vigilantly documenting the hunts all season, because it is our duty to do so. Together, we must do all we can to end this war against dolphins.

PLEASE SUPPORT DOLPHIN PROJECT’S COVE MONITOR CAMPAIGN IN TAIJI TODAY!

Let’s protect dolphins together,
Ric O’Barry,

Founder/Director of Dolphin Project
