Criminal charges for the killing of a she-wolf

On the night of February 11, a wolf was killed in the Osnabrück-Emsland region of Lower Saxony (Germany) with the permission of the state (!!!)

According to Lower Saxony’s Environment Minister Olaf Lies, the so-called “Herzlaker wolf pack” based there is said to have torn sheep over a long period of time.

The animal that was shot is a she-wolf.

The exemption, however, related to a male animal (!!!)

At the end of last week, PETA filed a criminal complaint with the Oldenburg public prosecutor’s office against those responsible – including the unknown hobby hunter and officials.

In addition to the current killing of the she-wolf without specific permission, the animal rights organization fundamentally criticizes wolf killings because it only protects the economic interests of the sheep farmers.

“According to the Lower Saxony state government, wolves should die so that shepherds do not suffer any financial losses.
That is a highly unethical motive.
The shepherds are not concerned with the welfare of the animals.

The supposed idyll on the pasture must not hide the fact that sheep are almost always violently killed in the slaughterhouse – with everything that goes with the animal industry: animal transports, failed stunning, fear, and pain.

The shooter’s permission to hunt must be withdrawn immediately, as he is apparently unable to distinguish a female from a male.
There are numerous case studies in which hunters shot away even though they could not make sure that it was the right animal. “
(Dr. Edmund Haferbeck, head of the Law and Science Department at PETA).

Hunters see wolves as “competitors”

The United Kingdom will ban the import of foie gras and 13 large Italian supermarkets have decided to stop selling this product, considered by the EU as harmful, due to the mistreatment it entails for animals.

While the production of foie gras is illegal in the UK as a cruel practice, the country still imports approximately 200 tonnes of the product from abroad each year.

However, after fierce campaigns by animal rights organizations, the import of foie gras to the UK will finally be banned in a new post-Brexit law.

Animal Welfare Minister Lord Goldsmith has confirmed that he plans to introduce a ban on imports to the UK “in the next few months”.

Lord Goldsmith tweeted: “Foie gras is unbearable barbarism. It’s hard to imagine that anyone can see the process
and still enjoy eating it. “ Before Brexit, the UK was subject to laws that considered the product a ‘delicacy’ and integral to French cuisine.

A spokesman for the Department of Environment, Food and Rural Affairs said the foie gras production “raises serious concerns.”

The problem is not the individual animal exploiter but the millions of convinced animal exploiters who decide under the fascist privilege of the human race about the life and dignity of an animal.

The devaluation of animals is really so bizarre that it is beyond your imagination.

Report from the Austrian blog https://www.respektiere.at/

In autumn 2020 we were on the road together with the “Robin Hood” association (www.robinhood-tierschutz.at) in Slovakia;

The aim of the company was to find a company that apparently operates an active puppy trade.
We noticed the company because of a gaudy website – a serious-looking homepage, then also very professionally made, namely promises great dog luck!

But it immediately catches the eye – this is where the high-level business is done.

From the Akita Inu to the West Highland Terrier, there are all conceivable dog breeds available to order, the animal children are even delivered directly to the house.

The prices for a young life, from 700 euros upwards plus 300 euros for delivery, are relatively high for Eastern conditions (should also represent a ‘quality feature’) but are still only a fraction of those that would have to be paid at the breeder’s site.

In any case, Elitdog – that’s what the soul trader calls itself – is popular and undoubtedly enjoys high earnings.
The fact that these are at the expense of other living beings is, of course, at best a side note of the story for the operators.

The Slovak village, in which the animal traders are based, looks shaken by existence; small single-family houses are lined up, a clear town center is not recognizable.
No structure, prosperity has taken a break.

The “big, wide world” happens elsewhere, a life apart from the stream of history.

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.
