So here are links to past posts from SAV also covering this unnecessary murder of innocents by those who have nothing better to do. Links are not provided in any order.
So as you can see from the above links; we are familiar with; and have campaigned to stop fox week.
Some of the above past photos are from ‘D’ (also in Germany) who has been involved with this campaign (advisor / photographer) also and worked with us at SAV in these roles.
The above links are for your information and further reading only; so that you also can become very familiar with what happens at ‘fox week’ in Germany.
In January and February foxes suffer even more than usual under the criminal pursuit of the hunters: Especially in the mating season they are persecuted in so-called “fox weeks” in many places particularly brutal.
“Fox weeks” are several events in hunting areas where terrorism is made on foxes with all available hunting methods.
At the end of such killing action, there are sometimes several dozen foxes “on the line” – many of them are badly damaged, they have shredded pines, or their guts hanging around smash.
This is how hunters display the harvest of the fox weeks!
In order to justify this massacre, it is necessary to explain the state of emergency and, ideally, to perpetuate forever, because only then can the murder be legitimized. Therefore, the hunting associations speak of population regulation, sustainability or the protection of wild animals.
So are criminals: they need “enemies” to justify their killings, so they create them!
In Germany every year about half a million foxes are killed by criminal hunters.
Mostly through particularly cruel practices that have already been banned in other countries, such as constuction hunting (Art holes under the ground) manslaughter or hunting with hunting dogs on live foxes.
There is no question of a “necessity” of fox hunting:
The experiences from fox-hunting-free areas (Belgium, Geneva) show unmistakably that fox populations regulate themselves without human intervention. Hunting losses, on the other hand, are quickly offset by rising birth rates and immigration.
Last year, such shameless news reached us every day in the media:
– The Hunting Association demands an intensive catching of raccoons
– Hunters demand the hunt for Nile geese
– The Hunting Association pleads for a comprehensive hunt for Greylag Geese
– Hunters call for hunting for pigeons
– The Hunting Association requires “protection” hunting for wolves and wolf-free zones, etc. –
In general, reports from hunting associations and hunters can be found throughout the year, and almost all contain murder claims.
In Germany, 5 million wild animals are shot or bullet-shot every year, killed or cruelly killed in traps.
5 million animals each year – that’s 13,700 every day, 570 per hour, almost 10 animals per minute. Every 6 seconds an animal dies by hunter’s hand!
To justify the hunt, advertise platforms with hunting trips: HUNTING – PASSION – SUSTAINABILITY!
One must suffer from a heavy dose of sadism and psychopathy to recognize passion and animal protection on such images!
»From animal murder to human murder is only one step and thus also from animal cruelty to human torture.«
Leo Tolstoy had said so about the hunt. And he is right!
This Wyoming coyote is one of thousands who are being persecuted by human killers in the state, who practice ‘Yote Whackin’. It includes coyote killing contests and snowmobiles. This coyote is plastered in the snow under a snowmobile after just being chased until she/he could no longer escape. The hunter arranged his camera on the snowmobile to film himself running over the coyote several times before grabbing the coyote by the tail and swinging the animal to beat her/his head against the snowmobile, again and again, until the job is done when he tosses the coyote, as he smiles into the camera.
The photo and video above “ … offer brutal glimpses at reality, and they speak not only truth on the ground but to the fact such behaviour is condoned by political and social leaders in Wyoming, who let them happen without comment.” (Todd Wilkinson).
Coyotes in WY and other western states have no protection at all … everything goes. We also have anecdotal evidence that hunters in Montana enjoy chasing and running over coyotes with their recreational vehicles.
No animal deserves this type of the suffering and cruel death.
No animal deserves to be treated with such aggression, brutality and violence.
Please take immediate action and contact WY’s officials to prohibit predator killing contests and killing coyotes with vehicles – now!
Please sign this petition to demand that the state of Wyoming immediately provide protection for predators and prohibit atrocious behavior such as coyote/predator killing contests, and chasing and running over coyotes (or any wild animal) with any vehicle, including aircrafts, ATVs, ORVs, cars and snowmobiles.
You can also write your own letter denouncing this unhinged cruelty, or you can personalize the letter below, and send it to the officials listed below. We must stop the pathological torture of our wildlife.

I was shocked to learn that Wyoming allows ‘yote whackin,’ a practice that include coyote killing contests and killing coyotes with snowmobiles.
In just one video posted online, a hunter can be seen chasing a coyote to exhaustion in deep snow, deliberately running the animal over several times, and then grabbing the coyote by the tail and slamming the animal onto his snowmobile while smiling into the camera.

Videos like the one above “ … offer brutal glimpses at reality, and they speak not only truth on the ground but to the fact such behavior is condoned by political and social leaders in Wyoming, who let them happen without comment.” (Todd Wilkinson).
Predator killing contests and killing wild animals with vehicles goes against the ethical standards laid out by the North American Wildlife Model and directly violates fair chase, respect for and humane killing of wild animals.
What gives hunters the right to engage in behavior that otherwise would be punished with a felony animal cruelty charge? No animal, whether domestic or wild deserves to be treated with such outrageous aggression, brutality and violence.
I am asking you to immediately provide protection for predators and prohibit atrocious behavior such as coyote/predator killing contests, and chasing and running over coyotes (or any wild animal) with any vehicle, including aircrafts, ATVs, ORVs, cars and snowmobiles.
Just last week, trophy hunters and sellers from all over the world met in Reno, Nevada for the annual Safari Club International convention—an event where trophy hunters, who pride themselves on killing rare and majestic wildlife, can buy opportunities to do so. This is the Club’s largest fundraising source, generating tens of millions of dollars through hunting auctions and other activities—funds they use to support their efforts to weaken laws that protect animals from trophy hunters.
During the convention, vendors were even selling canned lion hunts and dozens of items that appeared to violate Nevada’s wildlife trafficking law—items that included elephant skin furniture, stingray skin boots and paintings using elephant ears and skins as canvases. We have submitted these findings in writing to the Nevada Department of Wildlife last week, requesting investigation and enforcement of Nevada law.

Mark I’m sure you are as upset and concerned as we are about Japan’s decision to leave the International Whaling Commission (IWC – the body that regulates whaling) to resume commercial whaling in the waters around Japan.
By leaving the IWC, the Japanese government has shown an utter disregard for international agreements and conservation efforts. Japanese hunters will kill sei, Bryde’s and minke whales in the same way that they kill around 3,000 dolphins and ‘small’ whales every year – in unregulated hunts with no accountability.
Please email the Japanese Embassy in your country to politely express your concern. Tell them that by disregarding the international community, Japan is harpooning its reputation.
You’ll find all the information you need, including a template email, on our action page.
Thank you for getting involved and speaking up for whales. Every voice counts.
An Oklahoma woman scored a lot more than she had bargained for after chatting up a potential suitor using dating app Bumble recently. Boasting about shooting a deer outside of the legal hunting season, she had no idea she was exchanging messages with a State game warden.
24-year-old Cannon Harrison, the warden in question, couldn’t believe it when his match began bragging about her kill.
“Honestly, the first thing I thought was that it was someone who was messing with me because they knew who I was,” said Harrison. “It seemed too good to be true.”
Knowing that Oklahoma deer shooting season had ended and her hunt was illegal, Harrison played along, asking if she had killed the animal with a bow (which would have been legal). The woman coyly avoided the question, but soon admitted that she had used the practice of “spotlighting” to shoot the animal. Spotlighting is illegal in Oklahoma. It’s the practice of shining a bright light into an animal’s face causing it to freeze, making it an easy target.
Harrison, ever-dedicated to his calling as a warden, kept up the ruse, pretending to be impressed and asking her to send photos of the deer. She obliged, providing evidence that would later be used against her — gruesome photos of her posing next to her prey, along with images of the butchered animal. The photos and story were later shared on the Oklahoma Game Warden’s Facebook page.
Using his amateur detective skills and the power of social media, Harrison tracked down the offender and game wardens paid her a visit the very next day.
She and an accomplice pleaded guilty to charges of improper possession of an illegally taken animal and taking game out of season, paying $2,400 in fines, although she wasn’t charged for spotlighting.
Although a tragic end for the deer, at least this woman did not get away with her crime — and we’re thankful this game warden put his passion for animals over his search for love.
This is how hunters display the harvest of the fox weeks!
