I came across this fantastic program / series yesterday. It is a fantastic documentary about a man who decides to convert some waste land into a naturally wild garden. So sit back and enjoy – Mark.

An excellent site from friends in Germany – everything you need to know.
Wolf in hunting law – the next step towards killing frenzy: Great times of hypocrisy
The following article is German, but I hope the system will automatically translate into English,- Mark.
Compare this to the post yesterday. Italy – Great Story – Wolves ARE Protected In Italy. Watch The Video Of A Wolf Being Saved By Local Firefighters – Congrats To All Involved. – World Animals Voice Italy is a neighbour of Germany. Wolves PROTECTED in Italy whilst Germany goes the opposite way. But then the German hunting lobby has always gone for a kill, kill approach to everything where animals are concerned. They love killing and have an utter ‘blood lust’.
Here are a few snippets from my old Serbian stray animal site which also covered issues such as this.
An example, ‘Fox Week’, Germany, where thousands of immaculate foxes are murdered for fun by sadistic, callous hunters – German fox weeks: organized crime against foxes! | Serbian Animals Voice (SAV)
Fox weeks in “civilized” Germany!! | Serbian Animals Voice (SAV)
Like here in the UK, when it comes to hunting, you are either pro, or anti, like we are ant 110 anti.
Germany has a massive PRO Hunt lobby. Antis are very much a minority.
Talking with German activist friends as is done regularly, they are fully aware of the massive pro hunt campaigners they are up against.
It is a very difficult thing to be a German Animal Welfare / Rights campaigner.

Hi everyone,
23rd February 2026. Well, I have been in hospital since very early January. Severe bone infection in my thigh – 7 weeks of daily IV antibiotics. My WAV main problem has been the very limited computing resources here.
There are so many electrical signals buzzing around the place – doctors pagers, visitors on mobiles, staff using computers, ward computers for distribution of medicines; it is crazy.
So if you are still trying to do some work from your laptop, as I have for welfare and WAV, things are not good.
Thus I have dedicated all my time and limited resources into just one issue. That has been the one to get catapults banned due to the amount of wild animals being killed for fun by young people using them. They appear to get a kick out of the killings, as they then go on to boast about it on social media.
All I can really say at present is that us in welfare have now undertaken everything we can at the moment. Future progress now hinges entirely on getting the 100k signatures on the formal government petition so we can then get a formal debate in Parliament.
Thus I urge anyone and everyone to please sign and pass on. THANK YOU.
I am currently still in hospital, but the doc. has just visited and told me hopefully I will be liberated in a few days.
Cosmic !!! – away and back home to much better computing facilities. But I must say that I have had a great time here in hospital. All the nurses have been superb, and the cleanliness everywhere has been 110%+. Really great to see.
Therefore, I am now going back to covering some World animal issues. That starts as of today – 23rd February.
Normality lingers just around the corner, and I am desperate to get back to it !
Regards Mark.
Petition Link –
FOR UK RESIDENTS ONLY.
Very important petition. We need to get 100,000 signatures for a debate on this in Parliament.
Note that when you sign, YOUR VOTE WILL NOT BE ADDED until you verify yourself in a return mail sent to you by government,
Measuring a mere 12 to 14 centimetres in length, the beautiful European Robin for decades has been recognised as the national bird of the UK.
Although this classification has never been officially certified by the UK government, but is accepted by bird organisations, charities and the British public who have supported this call in many polls over the years.
