German farmers: “Who protects his animals, is a denouncer!”

 

The big state wolf killing begins in Germany!

 

Germany

 

In addition to Lower Saxony, Schleswig-Holstein has today released a 20-month-old wolf male, Roddy, for shooting.

Roddy jpgRoddy in the summer coat in August 2018

In the district Nienburg lives a wolf family consisting of father, mother, 2 children from May 2018, a 2.5 year old fox and a sixth unknown wolf.
Roddy had 8 attacks in 2017 alone. In 2018 it was 32. 22 x of them on sheep. 20 x they were not protected! All not protected and not stalled. The livestock owners there do not want to protect. Over 92% + of the killed animals were NOT protected!

The shooting is unlawful and punishable. The legal requirements are not available. Protect would have had to happen first.
The shooting is unlawful and punishable. Then there must be considerable economic damage relevant to the fundamental right. 
Is not present here.

The herd is valuable because both parent animals bring fresh genes and are not related to the German wolves! There are also two other foreign wolves running around there.

The shooting of Roddy was approved on 31.01.2019.

That will bring the family through each other. It will come just right to farm animal tears. As long as it is not protected, it will always continue. And the livestock owners will not protect – they said publicly in late October 2018: “Who protects his animals, is a denouncer!”

The initiator of the petition has sent many emails and legislative proposals from friendly judges, etc. to the Minister and his staff.

“Olaf Lies, take back your shooting approval”!

PS of the petition initiator: I go with my wolfhounds twice a week in Roddy’s area. It is an ideal wolf habitat and large parts are NATURA 2000 area. There is so much game there. If the livestock farmers would protect, the population would not even know that there are 6 wolves living there.

With a signature, however, everyone can really do their part in making it clear to the politicians that the majority of citizens do not agree with lobbying. The shooting of the Rodewald Wolf, Roddy, or even the whole herd is purely politically motivated!

Please, sign the petition: https://www.change.org/p/nieders%C3%A4chsische-umweltminister-olaf-lies-bitte-rettet-roddy-den-vaterwolf-des-rodewald-rudels-in-niedersachsen-vor-dem-abschuss-e0d19c26-5c23-4e8e-97f6-f70a5e10b381

My comment:  Once a wild animal kills another animal to survive, the farmers give the order to shoot!
When they torture and slaughter  animals the farmer call this “agrarian economy”.
They receive subsidies for the construction of fences and protection from “wild” animals, but they do not do it.
The wolves do their work in the forest and take care of their families, as opposed to the farmers who live on subsidies for torture and slaughter of animals. With 1.5 billion euros in subsidies per year, the german farmers are top earners!

“Who protects his animals, is a denouncer!”, because we want a massacre!!

USA (Alaska): Father and Son Hunting Pair Jailed for Killing Mother Bear – and Then Her 2 Shrieking Cubs.

When a father-and-son hunting pair from Alaska poached a black bear mother and her two newborn cubs in their den last year, they initially seemed to get away with it.

There was little chance for witnesses on a remote island off Alaska’s southern coast. The hunters traveled there by boat, strapping on backcountry skis to reach the bear den. But a motion-activated camera, being used for wildlife research, captured the hunters’ actions on the island, the authorities said.

This week, after pleading guilty to various poaching charges, the father, Andrew Renner, a 41-year-old from Wasilla, Alaska, was sentenced to three months in jail and barred from hunting for a decade, said Aaron Peterson, the state’s assistant attorney general, who prosecuted the case. His son Owen Renner, 18, received a 30-day suspended sentence and was required to perform community service.

Thailand: Petition – Justice for Tiger Brutally Punched In the Face by A Poacher.

SIGN: Justice for Tiger Brutally Punched in the Face by Poacher

SIGN: Justice for Tiger Brutally Punched in the Face by Poacher

Image Credit: The Freeland Foundation

PETITION TARGET: Thai Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment

Thai authorities have arrested two poachers and are on the hunt for more after discovering a shocking photo documenting an illegal tiger kill.

The image shows a man straddling a tiger as the animal lies helplessly on the ground covered in blood. One hand is around the animal’s throat, the other is raised in a fist behind the man’s shoulder — as if he is about to viciously punch the head of this majestic big cat.

It is unclear if the tiger was already dead when this photo was taken, but after a three-month investigation, Thai police uncovered a wildlife trafficking organization that was responsible for the deaths of many more animals.

The poaching gang — originating in Vietnam — has been operating across Thailand, Malaysia and possibly Myanmar, slaughtering these critically endangered big cats and selling them on the black market. Most are destined for use in traditional Chinese health remedies.

According to the Freeland Foundation, a Thai organization working to stop poaching, Thai authorities are still searching for the man in the photo, along with the masterminds behind the poaching organization.

Sign this petition urging Thai wildlife officials to use all possible resources to hunt down these men and seek justice for every animal slaughtered at their hands — before any more have to suffer and die.

USA: The Hunted Horrors Inside the Safari Club International Convention – Reno, Nevada.

USA-Flagge

 

We (WAV) did a post earlier in the month about trophy hunters having their annual convention in Reno, Nevada USA.  Here is the link to that post:

https://worldanimalsvoice.com/2019/01/18/usa-wildlife-murdering-trophy-hunters-meet-in-nevada-for-annual-convention/

Well now we are learning more from the Humane Society of the United States about what was on show / being sold at this convention. 

Here is their write up:

 

The Horrors Inside the Safari Club International Convention

Hippo skull table.png

Hippo skull table for sale at the Safari Club International Convention / Photo by The Humane Society of the United States, Facebook

Elephant skin furniture, a hippo skull table, and stingray belts were just some of the items for sale at the Safari Club International annual convention this month.

These items, illegal under Nevada state law, were sold by vendors along with cruel big game hunting trips, weapons, and hunting equipment.

The Humane Society of the United States discovered these horrific pieces during an undercover investigation at the convention in Reno, Nevada. Photos and videos taken exposed the threatened species’ body parts for sale and have prompted an investigation by the Nevada Department of Wildlife.

See the photos and video here.

The Humane Society provided a list of items found at the convention:

·         Paintings on elephant ears and skins;

·         An elephant skin bench;

·         Elephant leather boots, shoes, chaps, belts, and saddles;

·         Bracelets made from elephant hair;

·         An entire mammoth tusk;

·         Mammoth tusk carvings;

·         Stingray skin boots, shoes, belts and purses;

·         Boxes of hippo teeth;

·         A hippo skull table;

·         Hippo leather belts and boots;

·         Shark skin belts;

·         A knife with a handle made of narwhal tusk.

Nevada State law makes it illegal for anyone to purchase, sell or possess with intent to sell any item that contains the body parts of elephant, lion, rhinoceros, tiger, leopard, hippopotamus and other imperiled wildlife. The evidence gathered by the Humane Society was submitted to the Nevada Department of Wildlife, which has now opened an investigation.

If found guilty, the persons responsible face up to $6,500 in civil penalties and could be charged with a gross misdemeanour for the first offense, a category E felony for a second offense, and a category D felony for a third offense. Safari Club has stated it is also conducting an internal investigation, but did not respond to the Associated Press’ question about how they control for legal trade at their convention.

The club also refused a request of a reporter from the Associated Press to attend the conference.

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.

Germany: the hunters create the terror they need

 

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.

tote füchse bei jagd_nThis 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.

 

baujagd

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!

baujagdTo justify the hunt, advertise platforms with hunting trips: HUNTINGPASSIONSUSTAINABILITY!

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!

Best regards to all, Venus

WAV Comment – we always have said that hunters are sick in their very warped head.

Question now is, who is the cruellest ? – USA or China ?

https://mountainjournal.org/hunting-in-america-faces-an-ethical-reckoning

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.

You can read more about this animal cruelty, and also watch a video here (warning, the video is extremely graphic):  https://mountainjournal.org/hunting-in-america-faces-an-ethical-reckoning

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.

LETTER:

Dear official,

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. You can read more about this issue and also watch a video here:  https://mountainjournal.org/hunting-in-america-faces-an-ethical-reckoning

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.

Sincerely,

USA: Wildlife Murdering Trophy Hunters Meet In Nevada For Annual Convention.

 

USA-Flagge

main-feature

Picture – HSI.

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.

trophy hunter 2

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.

Read more about HSI’s findings at this year’s SCI convention.
