Well we can now provide an update from Animals Asia – the little bears have been removed from the Circus, given a health check by AA and have now been moved on to their sanctuary. Very rapid responses and actions by the brilliant Animals Asia – thanks to them once again.

The web page “Netzfrauen”(Network Women) was sued by a German big game hunter who killed a big elephant in Africa, although it was the foreign media who published his photo and not this site.
We’ve often posted articles from this very informative website and we’re now really angry with those cheeky jerks who want to intimidate the site with this equally outrageous lawsuit so that in the future facts and truth about the trophy hunt remain in the dark.
Here is the message:
“Dear Readers, I have been sued by a German trophy hunter and now I am going to pay a heavy fine to the state of Berlin.
If I do not pay, I go to jail! I’ve just talked to my trophy hunt organizations and I’m ready to go to jail for the elephants, lions, leopards, buffalos and rhinos, also known as the BIG5. If I can finally stop this trophy hunt, it’s worth it. We will continue to inform you – on behalf of all animals.
Thank you for your support.
Netzfrauen”
John Cleese: “Trophy hunters who kill wild animals are „impotent“ and „inadequate“
In addition a very nice text of “Netzfrauen” to this situation:
“Incidentally, the one who points to the dirt is more dangerous here than the one who does the filth.” Kurt Tucholsky (January 9, 1890 – December 21, 1935)
Yes, this is still the case in 2019, as we always have to experience painfully.
As a large food company said: “As long as activists are attacked in Germany and not the corporations, comes to Germany what other countries do not want.”
It is exactly like that.
No matter if you are committed to animal welfare – you will be attacked.
It does not matter if you’re campaigning for healthy foods – you’re under attack.
No matter if you are committed to human rights – you will be attacked!
It does not matter if children are committed to their future – they are attacked.
.. but never by the corporations, but by mothers and fathers, who should actually know better. So why still fight?
It is more convenient to attack those who point out the filth instead of attacking the real culprit, quite comfortably from the couch!
This is what it looks like in 2019 … Kurt Tucholsky already recognized it then.
Look around, Germany is world champion in pay dumping, but export world champion
Germany is the largest meat producer, possible through factory farming.
Germany has protected the automotive industry for years, and now thousands are unemployed, and while the boards can record millions of euros as salaries, the victims of the “diesel gate” go out empty, that does not matter, the taxpayer likes to pay.
Does not matter if Germany is the country that invests less in education.
It does not seem to matter that nursing homes and hospitals have long since been sold to investors.
Why should we get upset … seemingly all right. They do not need us!
But do not complain if you realize that everything is not all right!
the US dentist Walter Palmer, has never been punished for the murder of Cecil 2015.
My comment: The corrupt politicians know very well that it is not the Enlightenment people who are to be punished. The psychopaths who kill animals as trophies are the culprits. It is the epidemics of this planet, dangerous parasites that only occupy the place.
And for us to call things by their name: without the lobbying of the corrupt politicians, most of whom are also wild animal hunters, this dull gang would have no chance to continue their killings.
It is difficult to find the right words against this legalized massacre of defenseless animals. Even attaching the worst photos or words could not be enough to describe the extent of the mass killings of trophy hunters.
The defendants have not asked for donations, but we nevertheless post the account number, and we think that any donation will be an important help that the web site operator does not go to jail.
On the question “why still we fight on”, we had already borrowed the answer from Bertold Brecht: “without us they would have had it much easier”!

The award winning author, barrister and international ecocide law advocate passed away on the 21st of April. Higgins, a British barrister, led a decade-long campaign for “ecocide” to be recognised as a crime against humanity.
She was diagnosed last month, at the age of 50, with an aggressive cancer and given six weeks to live.
Polly had been campaigning to make ecocide an international crime and had launched a push for businesses to be made liable for any harm they do to the environment.
She presented her proposal for ecocide to be recognised as an international crime to the United Nations Law Commission, describing it as ‘one simple law to protect the Earth’.
She gave up her job and sold her house to finance the campaign.
Polly was also author of “Eradicating Ecocide” and created the first non-commercial trust fund for Earth Protectors.
The Globally Responsible Leadership Initiative (GRLI) announced the news of Polly’s death on twitter, posting: “A sad day and big loss to our community. Polly will be sorely missed but always remembered for her incredible work.”
Simon McBurney wrote: “Polly Higgins has left us. Inspirational friend, campaigner, lawyer, she dedicated her life to hold those committing ecocide to account. We must finish what she started.”
Women’s Voices Matter tweeted: “May her legacy live forever.
“Her dying wish was that we all sign up to Stop Ecocide: Change the Law.
Stroud MP David Drew added to the tributes, saying: “Like so many people in Stroud, and indeed across the globe, I was sad to learn of the death of pioneering climate campaigner, Polly Higgins.
“Polly chose to make Stroud her home. This is a town which has a proud history of being at the forefront of change – and change is essential.
“The climate crisis is quite simply the biggest issue of our time. The growing cacophony of voices calling for action – from the Extinction Rebellion campaign, to Greta Thunberg, David Attenborough and Mark Carney – must not continue to be ignored.
“Climate change has been ignored by this government, which has eroded support for renewable energy. It is little wonder that frustrations are running high.
“I support the calls for proper government recognition that the crisis exists and the need for urgent action.
“Climate change is also a consequence of an economic system based on inequality. Taking the economy out of the control of the super-rich and creating a fairer more equal society will also create a greener world.
“Polly led the way, with her imaginative approach to valuing our environment. I have no doubt that Stroud people will continue to build on her legacy and she will remain an inspiration to us all.”
Details of Polly’s funeral have now been announced: it is set to take place on Friday, May 3 at 10am. This will be followed by her burial in Slad, close to where she lived. Everyone is welcome at the service.
Only a few words about this: Why do the good, useful and hopeful people go out of the live so early?
And the assholes, the torturers, the criminals live long and have so much time to destroy life and nature?
This is an injustice that we experience more often and that offends us deeply.
Thank you for everything you have done for nature and animals, Polly.
We will not forget you and we will continue to fight as you would have done.
