I did a bit more digging on the subject and found this information in a 2002 article; a few excerpts here (and link to the entire article below) <br />As one with family roots in Alsace-Lorraine I find this all just fascinating!! <br /><br />The official Nazi biography, which was written by Erich Gritzbach, says: "Goering is a fanatical friend of animals. He says: 'Whoever tortures animals violates the instincts of the German people.'<br /><br />The same love of animals which he demonstrates in all he has to do with the animal world also imbues the Reich hunting law of 1934. Indeed it gives this law its deep ethical meaning. In Germany hunting on horseback, chasing animals with a pack of hounds, is banned."<br /><br />Goering adopted a moral code governing hunting called Sporting Justice (Waidgerechtigkeit) that had long been established in Germany. The code stipulates that it is unsporting to use animals such as dogs to kill game and vermin....The laws were passed and remain in force to this day.<br /><br /><br /><br />It would seem the very purpose for which we've bred sporting dogs as well as terriers is becoming passe! But that's a topic for a whole 'nother blog post!<br /><br />GeorgeLiberty Bellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01177305529757660312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9128506581675705657.post-4967016021405067122010-01-08T14:02:50.025-08:002010-01-08T14:02:50.025-08:00Well said and well documented.

"Poacher" is not the same as "hunter" - a poacher is someone who steals game that rightfully belongs to someone else.<br /><br />So I don't think Hitler actually banned hunting, which in various forms (including falconry) flourished during the Nazi era.<br /><br />Also, Hitler's pretensions as a "friend of animals" are pretty much a sideline to the history of the animal welfare and animal rights movements, which - like the Nazis' loony racial theories - go back to the 19th century.<br /><br />What is true is that some of the animal rightists are as crazy in their way, as Hitler was in his .Dr. Johnnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9128506581675705657.post-20465790073904912732010-01-08T09:25:25.712-08:002010-01-08T09:25:25.712-08:00"The HSUS's Wildlife Abuse Campaign promo..."The HSUS's Wildlife Abuse Campaign promotes the humane treatment of wildlife by educating the public and lawmakers on the cruelty inherent in sport hunting and targeting the most reprehensible practices." -- HSUS Web Site<br /><br />70 years and the fascist program hasn't changed.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9128506581675705657.post-1613831201067636712010-01-07T17:41:46.521-08:002010-01-07T17:41:46.521-08:00yup.. no animals harmed.. we will practice on the ...yup.. no animals harmed.. we will practice on the "filthy Jews".. great blog.. and great interpretation of Hitler and the "animal rights" movement"..Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
