Spider monkey-the trapeze artist of the jungle!

The spider monkeys are a genus of primates from the family of the spider-tailed monkey.
The genus is divided into two types, the northern arachnid, and the southern arachnid.

They live in the forests of southeast Brazil.

In the past, its range stretched from the state of Bahia in the north to the state of Paraná in the south, but today its range is greatly reduced and fragmented.

The habitat of these animals is the coastal rainforests, where they occur up to 1600 meters above sea level.
Spider monkeys are the largest New World monkeys!

They reach a head-body length of 45 to 78 centimeters, plus a 65 to 80-centimeter long tail.
Males are 12 to 15 kilograms heavier than females, which reach 9.5 to 11 kilograms.

Their whole body is adapted to the tree-dwelling way of life, arms and legs are noticeably long and slender.
The thumb is small in the northern species, but it is present, in the southern species it is completely absent.

The tail, which is as long or longer than the body, is used as a prehensile tail.

As with the other spider-tailed monkeys, it is hairless on the underside of the tip, which allows for a better grip.
Spider monkeys are diurnal tree dwellers and prefer to stay in the upper crown area.
They are skilled climbers who often move suspensively – swinging by their arms or hanging by their tails – or on all fours.
If necessary, they come to the ground as well.

Something nice…

 

Animals make us ashamed…
because animals are better than us at expressing feelings.

the German Hunting Association has troubles…

E-mail from the German Hunting Association (DJV) to its members:

“Dear hunters,

In the following, I will give you information from the DJV, according to which hunting opponents will probably be active in different parts of Germany.

Because the DJV is currently receiving frequent reports of hunting-critical activities in hunting grounds by hunters at the base.
At the same time, the DJV noticed increased activities in the direction of hunting disruption and hunting sabotage in internet forums and social media groups.

The SOKO-Animal Welfare Association is currently calling for all trap-catching locations in Germany to be reported to the association (https://www.facebook.com/AktionsbuendnisFuchs/posts/715503882318036) *.

In Lower Saxony, the Animal Liberation Front (ALF) recently destroyed the Celle hunter’s burrow facility overnight and released the foxes.

In animal rights forums, the DJV finds calls and plans for further acts of sabotage, increasingly through “profiles” from Hesse, Rhineland-Palatinate, North Rhine-Westphalia, and Lower Saxony.

The campaign of Pro Fox Alliance has recently started a campaign against fox hunting: https://www.aktionsbuendnis-fuchs.de/

This is supported by Hannes Jaenicke (German actor) and Peter Wohlleben (forester)

The GEO Magazine has now also reported on this: https: //www.geo.de /…/ 24077-rtkl-tierschutz-streitthema …

At the same time, the animal rights organization PETA is currently launching a campaign (LINK: https://www.peta.de/kampagnen/fuchsjagd-stoppen/) to stop fox hunting.

Be particularly vigilant in the near future and report suspicious activities to the DJV (!!!)
If you see calls for criminal offenses on the Internet, please send screenshots with URLs and time tamp to us or directly to the DJV.

Please also pay attention to possibly sabotaged high seats such as sawn-off ladders etc (!!!)”

And I mean…The hunters are mobilizing.!!

They are slowly losing the ground under their feet! They notice that more and more people do not want to accept that their peaceful forests are turned into battlefields for defenseless animals.

In Germany, there is no nature reserve, no forest, no lake that is not subject to hunting.

Our remaining natural environment and the wild animals living in it have been degraded to a shooting range by a wretched minority (0.45% of the population, 388,000 hobby hunters).

Some animal rights activists who published the DJV’s email on their Facebook page have already been threatened.

The standard method used by German hunters is the intimidation method.

The heavily armed gang was always of the opinion that not only the animals in the forest but also any hunting opponents can terrorize.

Those days are over!

* SOKO Animal Welfare Association made an appeal on Facebook in January of this year, I quote:

“Who can help?

We are looking for hunting trap locations. Alive or homicide traps.
Anyone who knows such locations: Please doesn`t comment here, but send us exact location data and, if possible, a photo by PM. Thank you.

Update: Since the various hunters are just going crazy again, I would like to remind you again that the forest in Germany is free.
That means, you can enter it, you can relax there and also take photos.

Of course, as always, you should pay attention to signs, leave them as you found them, and show consideration for yourself, animals, and third parties.

Anyone who knows SOKO Animal Welfare Association knows that our tactics are always peaceful, legal, and successful.

In this sense, enjoy nature, respect its inhabitants, and do not allow yourself to be patronized by people who think the German forest is their private playground”.

My best regards to all, Venus

 

For women’s Day

The majority of female non-human animals never got their rights.
Not even for an hour.

They are still with marks in their ears in the slave centers of this world, only one number, only one function: to serve the human animals.

Their families and children were robbed and they could not defend them because these women were shackled as little young girls.

Even serious criminals don’t have to fear such a punishment, but these women are imprisoned, raped, and forced into chains for life because their biggest and only crime was to be born.

Born in a society in which “human rights” arise solely from belonging to the human species – no matter how a person is made, it has this right per se. Because it is human.

As a result, it is created the “right” of the strongest against the other animals, and it is even legalized.
The violence against non-human animals with their billions of faces and fates is solely the result of the fascist superiority of the human species

Therefore, on Women’s Day, we think of the millions of non-human women on earth, of their stolen children, of the women who give birth in miserable boxes, of the women who give birth in trucks, of the women who are waiting to be executed in the slaughterhouse.

That is an injustice, and we will continue to fight for their liberation, for their rights.

My best regards to all, Venus

Pastor with hunting ambitions

Mr. Pastor goes hunting!

Manuel Fetthauer is a Protestant theologian and passionate hunter!
Some of his parishioners wonder whether a pastor can really just put a rifle on to go hunting in the forest.

The Protestant theologian Manuel Fetthauer from Rhineland-Palatinate has a clear answer.

Manuel Fetthauer prefers to sit under a gnarled cherry tree, with a view of a small valley basin, deserted fields, and the edge of the forest.
Here in the Hintertaunus, he can switch off from everything that kept him busy during the day.

The Protestant pastor from Rhineland-Palatinate has a passion that one would not expect from a theologian: Whenever he has the time, he buckles his rifle on and goes hunting.

Anyone who wanders through their hunting grounds with Fetthauer quickly understands that there is someone who knows their way around nature.

The 32-year-old knows which bird calls can be heard and which paths the animals usually use.

“The forest is not in good shape,” he says. It is the third dry year in a row and many branches have dried up.

Pastor Fetthauer

Red deer harm the trees says Mr. Pastor

In addition to the long drought, the numerous red deer also bothered the trees, he says.
The animals eat the buds of young plants or gnaw on the bark.

Fetthauer has already seen 200 red deer roaming past his hide in a single evening. Restoring the natural balance is also a kind of “creation mission”  (!!!) for the hunted theologian.

Hunting opponents see it differently.
For example, the animal rights organization “PETA” has launched a “Christians for Animals” campaign, which specifically encourages believing people to adopt a vegan lifestyle.

The traditional annual Hubertus masses and hunter services are a thorn in the side of the critics.

The President of the German Animal Welfare Association, Thomas Schröder, accused the churches of justifying the “senseless killing of millions of animals under the guise of customs”.

Even St. Hubertus, the patron saint of hunters, has renounced the hunt, according to legend, after Christ spoke to him in the form of a stag.

Fetthauer likes many of the hunter’s customs.

He celebrates hunting services in November because they also appeal to the hunters’ sense of responsibility, as he says, and he also plays the hunting horn himself.

Your animal is not a toy!

If your dog comes to the shelter because you no longer want him, bothers you, prevents you from going on vacation … these all hypocritical excuses…

…he sits and waits for you.

He’s waiting for you to get him.
He’s waiting for you a minute, an hour, a day, a year?
He doesn’t know why but wait for you because he trusts you.

Because he loves you unlike you.

Listen carefully! Your animal is not a toy!
Think about it before you get a pet …

You are responsible for a family member just as you are for a child ❤️❤️

regards and good night, Venus

 

Germany: the lynx is strictly protected= in seven years 36 illegal shot lynxes!

In the past seven years, 12 dead lynx were found in Bavaria (Germany).
The number of unreported cases could be much higher. The perpetrators have not yet been identified. The Socialist Party of Germany (SPD) criticizes this fact and demands results.

Since 2011, 12 dead lynx have been found in Bavaria.

This is in response from the Interior Ministry to a request from the SPD in the state parliament.
The number of unreported cases could be 36.

According to this, six lynxes were killed by shooting or poisoning, and another six animals were found as stuffed trophies.
According to the ministry, five lynx were also killed in traffic accidents.

There are still no perpetrators (!!!)

The State Office for the Environment names another 14 cases in which wild lynx have been killed.
In none of the six proven killings, a perpetrator could be identified.

The police were able to find few investigative approaches in the cases despite securing and analyzing evidence, according to the authority.

Lynx poaching in Bayer, 2020: The case was dropped for lack of evidence (!!) © WWF

The SPD member Florian von Brunn criticizes this fact.

At the end of 2015, a dead lynx was found that was believed to have been strangled. It is also particularly strange that there is still no information about the findings of the investigation into two lynxes killed in the Cham district in 2015.
At that time there was a police search of a hunter’s house.

“We still don’t know what came out of the ammunition investigation” (Florian von Brunn)
