Every year in Namibia, 86,000 Cape Fur Seal pups are butchered to death.

Namibia is the only southern hemisphere country where seals are commercially slaughtered and the only country in the world where slaughter of puppies still nursed by mothers is possible.

The cruel seal hunt is actually known only from Canada. And Canada has also resumed the bloody seal hunt, although demand for seal products has plummeted.
But even on another continent, seals are slaughtered by the thousands.
Between 80,000 and 100,000 dwarf fur seals, also known as eared seals, cavort at the Cape Cross on the rocks in Namibia.

Over the next four months, as we learn, thousands of seals living in Cape Cross and Atlas Bay are brutally killed for their fur, oil and genitals. The genitals are exported to Asia. The terrible bloodshed has already begun. The hunting season lasts 139 days from July to November.

The seal cubs are brutally hit on the head after being separated from their mothers. Under the cries of the mothers, they are stung, whether dead or not, in the neck and slashed with knives. By now 80,000 Robby babies are supposed to be.

The massacre of seals in Namibia is brutal for a number of reasons, including the method of killing and the effects that it has on the entire colony.

The sealers prevent the colony of seals from escaping into the sea. Seal hunters aim for bigger puppies and get away with the smaller, thinner ones – those with less chance of survival. This can weaken the long-term genetic vitality of the populations.

The puppies are killed mainly because of their fur, but also because of their bacon sold as a “food supplement”. The bones are made into pieces of jewelery and then sold with the fur as a luxury item in distant lands. To make a fur coat, it takes about 8 dead seals.

The butcher of Namibia – Hatem Yavuz

The Turkish-Australian fur trader Hatem Yavuz is one of the main licensees.
He controls 60 percent of the fur market in the world.

Hatem Yavuz, known as the butcher of Namibia, is the man responsible for the death of hundreds of thousands of seals – both in Canada and Namibia, according to hesealsofnam.org.

This one man has the contract to turn their fur into so-called fashionable apparel. We had pictures of what’s going on but Google banned the page for it being too graphic.

The Turkish and Australian based company Hatem Yavuz named after the owner Hatem Yavuz controls roughly 60 percent of the world’s seal market and processes 130,000 seal pelts every year in his Istanbul factory. Yavuz also has a hand in the Canadian seal market and claims to be proud of what he does. In an interview that spurred a flurry of hate mail, Yavuz told “7 News” in Australia that “It’s a job. If I don’t do it, someone else is going to do it.” He is called the King of Seal Killers.

Yavuz is an Australian citizen and also has Turkish citizenship. He is honorary consul in Namibia for Turkey and has as a diplomat both a luxury vehicle and offices, which are paid by the Namibian taxpayer. As a Consul of Namibia, he is a government official and benefits directly from the sale of the country’s assets, according to the organization.

Yavuz pays about $ 7 per coat and needs the fur of about 8 dead seals.

Yavuz will sell this coat for $ 30,000. Enough money to buy an exclusive townhouse in Swakopmund, Namibia. However, this money does not remain in Namibia to help the economically disadvantaged. It goes to Yavuz, who rides between Sidney and Istanbul, leading the life of a multi-millionaire.

The fur is processed in his company in Turkey.

Yavuz controls 60 percent of the world’s fur market.

As Turkey is not part of the European Union, which prohibits the import and export of seal products, hides from Namibia are shipped to Turkey, where they are processed and sold to countries such as China and Russia.

My comment: I read in another website that this bloody spectacle is a popular tourist attraction.
If some dull, mentally ill proletarians can find it beautiful, get excited, and enjoy how innocent and utterly defenseless animals suffer and are tortured to death like this, then they are nothing more than pathetic monsters, and they do not deserve anything like their own human rights.
The Government of Namibia allows this. The Government of Australia, Turkey and Canada allows fur trade.

And if the butcher Hatem Yavuz says massacring innocent beings is just a job, then why is he no longer burning witches, or selling slaves? That would be good business too.

For this, all he needs to do is make an offer to the governments that they can not refuse.

Nowhere is so much manipulated with untruths and false news as on the hunt. Violence and lies belong to the same coin.

Murdering in the forest for the joy of killing animals dilettantisch, is not a sustainable settlement, but an incomparable anomaly. Today’s hunt is a massive, destructive and militant invasion of natural rhythms and can only be described as a natural terrorism!

For decades hobby hunting has been nothing but a permanently costly construction site, patchwork and disputes for politics, forestry, agriculture, administration, justice, health insurance, insurance, animal welfare, environmental and nature conservation organizations, police, federal government, media etc.

“Wild animals are also refugees from terrorism”

The fact that every day wild animals suffer, flee and die under the often meaningless terror of hobby hunters mostly displaces the collective consciousness in a selfish way.

After the various attacks of the followers of the Islamic state, especially in German-speaking countries, it was clear from the state of health what terrorism actually is. The feeling of empathy changed abruptly – into subdued fear.

Even politicians clap applause to this form of terrorism and see no need for action. Sure, of course! It’s not about their life. Not only that: Politicians even organize this terror and bigotry. Anyone who courtes hobby hunters seems to have a broken value compass.

Women, children, adolescents and adults are just as radicalized by hobby hunters and included in a network of violence and life-scorn, as the “Pied Piper” in Islam do. Some of the victims are gradually formed into members of terror as early as childhood. Based on crippled ideologies of the “hunter Latin”, the people seeking meaning undergo training to carry out violent actions in the animal kingdom. Foxes, martens, marmots, etc. are only part of their terrorist activities. The faces of the chopped off heads of the dead wild animals, hobby hunters proudly publish on the basis of pictures, videos and statistics.

Hunting clubs are always a form of terrorist cells. There are even amateur hunters who claim that shooting a known creature is a special pleasure.

When people hunted earlier, it was important to respect life and feed only their own relatives. Foxes, birds and co. Were not killed, out of boredom, to relax or to recover through a misunderstood nature experience.

“Those who enjoy killing and believe they gain prestige through a meat trophy have neither moral nor intellectual maturity to acknowledge the primitiveness of their actions. This society calls itself civilized, but how can it be civilized if even the persecution, the attacking and the killing of animals, cowering in fear, is still referred by this society as a sport? To kill for pleasure or sport, there is no justification and no apology – Hunt again gives a deep subtle psychosexual Insufficiency. “(Psychologist and neurologist Saper)

One only has to watch the wildlife to see which terror and habitat loss they suffer from. They do not have a quiet minute of their lives, they are in constant fear. As they grow, they constantly raise their eyes in a hunting area to find a hobby hunter. Freedom does not really exist when an animal has to be nocturnal, and so on. The fact that wildlife gets sick under such unnatural and stressful conditions is another point that speaks against this hobby terror.

The fear  the wild animals in front of humans was only trained by them through the hunt. Walkers, cyclists and other nature users get used to the animals. This can be seen in protected areas, such as the Swiss National Park. In spite of the immense flow of visitors, red deer there eat undisturbed even in broad daylight on the open alpine meadows and do not harm any crops. Indeed, according to studies, they even promote biodiversity.

In addition, large parts of the hunters have a knowledge of the last century. This is mainly due to the often inadequate training in the hunter examination courses, which are mainly carried out by fanatics with sect-like ideas, which need no regular qualification. After training, the hobby hunter moves only in the echo chamber of the hunting press, which repeats their crooked and false representations steadily.

In the hunting clubs, one then confirms each other in his view of things. In this way, a secluded sect has emerged, which is hardly accessible for new information.
The fatal thing is that local press and politics still believe under the Hunter’s hat expertise available and in all natural issues like to interview the local hobby hunter.
The hobby-hunter sect then also contaminates the public space.

“IG Wild at Wild” is a nonprofit community of interests, based in Switzerland, specializing in the legal aspects of wildlife conservation. One of our main concerns is to introduce a contemporary and serious wildlife management modeled on the Canton of Geneva in the cultural landscape – without hobby hunters but with honest gamekeepers. The monopoly on violence belongs in the hands of the state and not delegated to hobby-hunter gangs.

My comment: What kind of person can enjoy taking the life of another creature?

How can a person practice the killing of animals as a hobby, justify his deeds and bloody hobby?

Psychopaths and serial killers can do it!! Serial murders and animal hunts are terribly similar.
Just like serial killers, hunters have to prove their status as a person who has power over life and death.
There are studies that show that 90% of violent criminals started as animal torturers or by hunting.

Hunting magazines are full of images that stimulate hunters and provoke fierce fantasies of hunting and prey killing.

They are full of pictures of hunters triumphant over the animals they slaughtered. The message behind it is obvious: ” Kill something – or rather someone – and you too can achieve true greatness”.

“Killing people is so much fun,” the Zodiac killer wrote in one of his letters. “It’s even better than killing wild animals in the forest, because humans are the most dangerous of all animals.”

Hunters: You have long revealed your ugly face of mendacity.
Shoot yourself and your stupid fellow travelers in politics too.

Canada is the first of the G20 countries to fully ban shark fin trade.
This is a significant issue, as Canada was once the largest importer of shark fins outside Asia (according to Statistics Canada, in 2018, 148,241 kg of shark fins with a market value of over EUR 2 million were imported). Will other countries now follow suit and help prevent the slaughter of millions of sharks a year for a bowl of soup?

Meanwhile, Sea Shepherd continues to protect sharks around the world by stopping poachers in direct-action campaigns, uncovering bycatch violations and stopping illegal fishing.

Other countries have also issued bans on finning; these include Ecuador, Malaysia, USA or New Zealand. However, the prohibitions are often undermined and practically not monitored in the vast expanses of international waters.

Shark fins are still traded worldwide despite the brutality of the catch.
According to the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), Indonesia is the largest shark exporter with 13 percent of world shark. Spain follows as the first European country in third place worldwide.

Giant sharks reach a size of up to ten meters in length, and their fins are up to two meters long. Such fins can reach prices up to $ 15,000. The Great White Shark has other “souvenirs” that can be used to make money.

The international trade with its jaws and teeth reduces the population’s concern. There are already sums of money: the jaws bring a revenue of up to $ 50,000 and a single tooth an average of $ 60.
Due to increasing demand for their fins, 100 million sharks are killed each year.

The brutal “shark finning” has long been severely condemned by environmental and animal welfare organizations. The sharks are caught alive with longlines and taken aboard.

There, the fins are cut off from the living animal. Then the shark is again thrown overboard into the water.
The animal is miserably destroyed. Without movement no oxygen-rich water gets into the gills, the shark suffocates.

My comment: And we’ve been told that shark is a monster, the most dangerous animal in the world.
Around 70 people are attacked by sharks a year. In the year 100 million of these intelligent animals die a tumultuous death from human hand.
Most grotesque is that only 4% of their body, the rafts, are eaten, the rest is “waste”, does not bring money and ends up as a waste in the sea.

End product rafts for shark rafts soup, and we have
A tragedy with 100 million victims a year and 180 shark species on the red list.
The human species is an animal species acting in principle with the  fascist ideology of the ruler, and therefore the most dangerous and abominable species on this planet.

In May 2019, a group of antispeciesist activists destroyed 49 hunting stands close to the city of Namur, Belgium.

The purpose of this type of actions is to cause financial dammage to hunters in order to keep them from killing.

Hunting is absolutely not a way to regulate anything. Hunters create a situation of imbalance in the nature just to have an excuse to intervene and kill the predators they introduced themselves. They also introduce preys. They keep them locked in the forest and they only liberate them to kill them.

Hunters say they restore natural balance but nature never needed any human being to be balanced. Actually, hunters destroy the natural balance and then pretends to be able to fix the problem they created.

The truth is that hunters need an excuse to legitimate the fact that they kill sentients beings for pleasure.

So tell them to expect us. Cause as long as there will be hunters, there will be activists to track them.

French:
En mai 2019, un groupe d’activistes antispécistes ont détruit 49 tours de chasse dans les environs de la ville de Namur, en Belgique.

Le but de ce type d’actions est de causer un dommage financier aux chasseur.euse.s et ainsi de les emêcher de tuer.

La chasse n’est absolument pas un moyen de réguler quoi que ce soit. Les chasseur.euse.s créent en fait une situation de déséquilibre dans la nature juste pour avoir une raison d’intervenir en tuant les préateur.ice.s qu’ils ont elleux-mêmes introduit.e.s. Iels introduisent aussi des proies qu’iels tiennent enfermées dans des élevages dans la forêt et ne libèrent que pour pouvoir les chasser.

Les chasseur.euse.s disent restaurer l’équilibre de la nature mais le fait est que la nature n’a jamais eu besoin de quel être humain que ce soit pour retrouver son équilibre. En fait, ce que font réellement les chasseur.euse.s, c’est détruire l’équilibre de la nature et prétendre être les seul.e.s capables de réparer les dommages qu’iels ont elleux-mêmes créés.

La vérité, c’est que les chasseur.euse.s ont besoin d’une excuse pour légitimer le fait qu’ils aiment tuer des êtres sentients par plaisir. Mais qu’iels se tiennent prêts, car tant qu’il y aura des chasseur.euse.s, il y aura des activistes pour les traquer.

My comment: At least from these 49 murder seats, no animal will be shot dead!! In Germany, the legal status of these shooting facilities is not clear. Not all are legal, but no one can prove it. This is the reason that very often the hunters, whose high seats are destroyed, do not file a criminal complaint against the unknown offenders.

Therefore, we can be happy if a hunting seat is destroyed. And if that’s 49, the more!
That is not forbidden!
