An Elyria man unintentionally shot and killed his 28-year-old son while deer hunting in Delaware County last week.
Bradley Smith, 63, apparently mistook his son, Andrew Smith of Columbus, for a deer while hunting at dusk, said Tracy Whited, spokeswoman for the Delaware County Sheriff’s Office.
The Smiths were hunting with a group of friends in a heavily wooded area in the 2000 block of Pollock Road, just outside the city of Delaware. The group, who were experienced hunters, had met there for more than 20 years to hunt white-tailed deer during the state’s annual deer gun-hunting week, which ended Sunday.
Whited said Andrew Smith was not wearing any orange hunting clothing when the shooting occurred at about 5:45 p.m. on Dec. 2.
He was pronounced dead at the scene.
The elder Smith is not facing any charges (!!!), she said.
In Ohio, hunters are legally required to wear orange during the deer-gun season while hunting from 30 minutes before sunrise to 30 minutes after sunset, according to the Ohio Department of Natural Resources Division of Wildlife’s hunting and trapping regulations guide. This requirement applies statewide on both public and private land.
That day, the sunset just after 5 p.m.
“It’s just the worst kind of tragedy,” Whited said. “He thought he was shooting at a deer. It was his son.”
The Delaware County Sheriff’s office, ODNR’s Division of Wildlife, Delaware police, and city fire medics responded to the scene.
A spokeswoman for ODNR’s Division of Wildlife declined to comment, referring The Dispatch to the sheriff’s office…
An estimated 310,000 hunters in Ohio participated in the gun-hunting week from Nov. 30-Dec. 6, according to a news release from the division.
In total, they harvested 71,650 white-tailed deer.

The Nuremberg Zoo has taken in a pair of harpies from Brazil. The zoo visitors do not get to see them, however. The birds of prey are housed as a breeding pair on the Zoo‘s own Mittelbüg estate.
Both animals, a male, and a female come from the Roberto Ribas Lange Zoopark in Itaipu Binacional in Brazil. They hatched there in early 2018.
Before the two birds could travel to Germany, they had to go through a two-year international approval process.
The Nuremberg Zoo is important for breeding harpies worldwide (!!!).
Successful breeding with the harpy pair Esmeralda and Enrico began in the early 1980s.
The couple raised eleven chicks, four female and seven male; four more chicks died.
The offspring of this breeding pair from Nuremberg live today at Schmausenbuck. These are Evita, Jorge and Domingo.
Further offspring can be found in zoos like Berlin, but especially in Ecuador, Peru and Brazil. Most recently, the zoo transferred the male harpy Vito to Parque Condor in Ecuador on August 11, 2020.
The animals are potentially threatened with extinction. Due to the increasing deforestation of the rainforest in South America, their population is decreasing rapidly.
The mighty birds of prey with a weight of four to nine kilograms and a wingspan of up to two meters depend on the tropical rainforest.
Harpies live on the tall jungle trees on which they build their nests to raise their young.
They also find their large prey such as monkeys and sloths there. Birds of prey experts from Nuremberg report that the birds often stay in their tree for days and only soar in the air when they are looking for food.
Research projects on behavior and reproduction
The Nuremberg Zoo staff also carry out various research projects with harpies. It is about behavioral experiments, studies on animal preferences, and reproduction.
The specialist knowledge on birds of prey is not only used at the Schmausenbuck: conservation projects in the natural habitat of animals in Brazil also benefit, reports the zoo
And I mean…On the website of the Nuremberg zoos we read: “the greatest threat to their continued existence is the destruction of their habitat by slash and burn and the deforestation of tropical rainforests”.
That’s true.
But so far, other than enslaving animals and raising them for money, the zoo director has done nothing against Bolsonaro’s environmental crime.
The indigenous peoples of the Amazon are also on the list for threatened peoples in the early warning level due to the paramilitary forces of Brazil.
Should we, therefore, tear them out of their homes, bring them here to zoos, and let them breed?
By the way! There were human zoos too, until 1958!
With the same excuse “we want to” save “these cultures”, the whites have depicted and degraded the (black) people in zoos.
The Germans have a perverse understanding of species protection: removing people and other animals from their natural environment and bringing them to Germany to show them to the onlookers for money.
The Hagenbeck zoo (near Hamburg), from which the photo originates, still advertises with its role model function “as a pioneer of nature, environmental and species protection”.
Girls and women from Ethiopia in Hagenbeck’s zoo, Germany. The concept of the Hamburg “People’s show” was to show the people with their dwellings and equipment – an idea that was also much praised by scientists at the time.
Were the “exhibits” shown also threatened with extinction and did they have to be preserved “for the next generations”?

You should love the strays from the street! … because at some point in your life you too felt like a lonely stray!
Alone on a bench, in a schoolyard, at a party when someone you loved rejected you.
When a friend just forgot about your existence, with someone who didn’t like you, in a society that didn’t notice your needs, as if you were invisible.
You should love and take care of the street strays! Maybe because you’ve literally been stranded on the street yourself, or maybe because there wasn’t a home that you would call “home”.
You should feed the strays from the street! Perhaps because you’ve been hungry yourself because your food was burnt, the supermarket was closed, or because it was hunger in your heart that was gnawing and no one was feeding.
You should look at the strays in the eyes from the street and listen carefully to what they are telling you.
They all have a hidden story to tell, just like you have a secret story that you would like to tell someone else.
You should apologize to the strays from the street for us humans because we are the reason for their desperate situation and for their terrible condition.
Maybe you’ve stood with your back to the wall before, waiting for an apology that never came!
You should love the strays off the street for who they really are, not just for your ego and need to be loved back.
They will always love you one way or another, just for who you are … so don’t worry
Somehow we’ve all felt like strays off the street at one point in our lives … full of fear, pain, and sometimes without hope!
You should love the strays from the street because the love you give them heals the stray in you!
We all want someone who loves us for who we are, who gives without demanding, and who never lets us down.
Be this SOMEONE … for you and for others!

From me to this beautiful article… They are known us by the southerners.
It is all these animals that sit very discreetly next to your table and watch you eat.
With hope, they’ll get a piece of your food.
For those who do not close their hearts and eyes, for compassionate people, this look is a knife stab.
If these systems have all means at their disposal to exploit the weak parts of this planet, be it, Africa or children in the Third world countries, then no one is surprised when animals experience the most brutal exploitation of this system.
The weaker the victim, the worse the exploitation.
On the other hand, all the revolutions and movements in human history have proven that no ruling class has given up its privileges on its own.
The abolition of slavery and the exploitation of people socially and economically was the result of years of struggle.
The liberation of the animals as slaves is the continuation of this struggle.
We need education, whoever fights for animal rights has to try to change this society, which has got used to violence and brutality in a certain way and takes both for granted, especially when it comes to animals.
It cannot be taken for granted that there are strays today.
It is not a given that there are animal barracks.
It is not a given that we cull millions of fur animals for a disaster of human origin.
It is not a given that millions of laboratory animals die for Hocus-pocus science
That’s why we will keep fighting.
Against the rationalization of a fascist ideology that wants to take the exploitation of animals for granted

These recordings all come from the turkey farm in Canton Aargau,Switzerland, which was shown in the Rundschau on June 24th, 2020.
The pictures were taken on two different dates in the same week in which the Swiss television and radio were present.
Unfortunately, these bad pictures were not published during the broadcast.
This is what turkey farming really looks like in Switzerland!
These are some of the unpublished videos of the turkey farm in the canton of Aargau, which was not shown in the Rundschau of 24.06.2020.
We would be very grateful if this video could be shared as often as possible so that many people can see the whole truth.
Under this link,- https://www.1individuum.ch/juni -you will find the complete investigation video from 4 different turkey farms in 3 cantons which shows that this is not an isolated case but the cruel standard in Swiss farms!
Text in the video:
1) Two nights later, the chicks were no longer in the “lounge”. We found them like disposable items in a chest between spray cans and tractors.
2) This individual was also no longer there two nights later.
3) This turkey was disposed of in a plastic bag in the shed outside the farm.
His head was already covered with maggots.
All of them were free-range companies with a label. Labels must be abolished.
Labels are only good for your conscience, but not for animal welfare
Typical Swiss chicken concentration camp with so-called floor-keeping
So…Swiss meat – the subtle difference? We say: Swiss meat – no difference
And I mean…By the way: Germany is the most important turkey supplier for Switzerland.
(Some information on general poultry farming in Switzerland according to Four Paws Organisation):
-“In Switzerland, over 7 million chickens are slaughtered for chicken meat every year.
Most of these chickens live in what is known as conventional husbandry. In concrete terms, this means in Switzerland: Floor keeping in a hall with little litter and no access.
These animals never feel the natural ground beneath their feet and cannot breathe fresh air. In addition, they are crammed into the smallest of spaces, according to the motto: Always more, always faster, always cheaper.
In Switzerland, around 15 adult animals can be kept with a final fattening weight of 2 kg per square meter. There is hardly more space than an A4 sheet of space for a single chicken.
In conventional fattening, a broiler chicken reaches its slaughter weight of 2 kg in a record time of 35 days (weight gain of 60 g per day).
Some of the animals are even slaughtered early after 22 days and processed into “dung scratches”.
The mass production and high-performance breeding of broiler chickens have serious health consequences: Many of the animals suffer sudden cardiac death or cardiopulmonary failure (“ascites”) and suffer from joint damage.
Due to the rapid and violent weight gain, the animals can hardly stand upright and walk towards the end of the fattening period – they only eat and lie around.
The damp, fecal-contaminated litter often causes skin damage and inflammation and diarrheal diseases (“coccidiosis”) are not uncommon-”
Apart from the fact that factory farming is perverse, cruel, and absolutely unethical, it creates new diseases (mutated bacteria because the animals get antibiotics, etc. to eat, making the pathogens immune to them) and the drinking water is polluted.
“Eating meat is my human right, is a principle of life, is species-appropriate “.
That is the most widespread fascist ideology of the human species
Nobody has to eat meat.
Veganism is a very promising way to soon be able to feed 10 billion people adequately without completely destroying the earth.
But education is often uncomfortable. That doesn’t fit into the comfortable consumer life.

They will begin to test COVID-19 in dogs and cats in Madrid!
The campaign will begin shortly and all aspects will be reported so that interested pet owners can book an appointment.
The SALUVET scientific research group of the Animal Health Department of the Veterinary Faculty of the Complutense University of Madrid is carrying out a study on the incidence of the SARS-CoV-2 virus in companion animals.
In order to gather as much information as possible, they will have the collaboration of the Peñagrande Veterinary Group, among other centers, to study the circulation of the virus among dogs and cats and to be able to evaluate the incidence of the disease in these species and analyze possible relationships o ties with people, as Andrés Santiago, one of the members of the Peñagrande Veterinary Group, has exclusively informed Diario Veterinario.
The campaign will begin shortly and all aspects will be reported so that interested pet owners can book an appointment and carry out the studies under the best quality standards, using aerological analysis (antibodies in the blood) and PCR (determination of respiratory antigens).
“Our clinics, with the aim of offering the best health services for both the owners of the animals and for them themselves, will offer these services completely free for their clients, consisting of a serological test in the blood to determine the level of antibodies and a test using a swab to identify antigens, that is, the virus in animals ”, explains Andrés Santiago.
“It is essential to have healthy animals in healthy environments to ensure the health of pet guardians and the general public.”
Anyone interested in participating in the study can do so at info@clinicasveterinarias.net.
And I mean…It is a known fact that 70% of corona tests give false results for humans.
If we still have no reliable research results against Corona (FOR PEOPLE), why should researchers in Spain be paid to research animals, who are verifiably not getting the virus?
At the beginning of the pandemic, Chinese pet owners in Wuhan threw their animals off the balconies for fear of an infection that did not even exist.
“Barbarians the Chinese”, we civilized Europeans used to say, “with our great animal protection law we can protect our pets from it”.
Today Wuhan and China have 0% Corona !!
And here, 100 years after the Spanish flu in 1918, our potent medicine is still unable to get a nasty virus like Corona under control, what the doctors in 1918 with the Spanish flu achieved within a year and a half.
It is a corrupt business that the Spaniards are now trying to open the next source of money with those who are demonstrably not getting the Corona !!
All they have to do is intimidate and scare the pet owners and the business will work!
The Chinese could learn something from them.
