Germany: Foxes Freed from Hunting Facility, Clubhouse Burnt Down

from Bite Back

received anonymously (translation):

The continued operation of the hunting dog training facility in Hildesheim has led to a repeat of a rescue operation for imprisoned and tortured foxes. the associated clubhouse was burned down to cause economic damage. in case of the continued operation of the facility, the alf has plans for future actions in the private sphere of the club members.

already in June of this year alf activists helped several foxes escape from the facility in Hildesheim-Achtum. contrary to the assertions of the alleged dog lovers and hunters, they have not approached people to ask for food. they also have not returned to their prison, which they reportedly liked so much. from there they were not, as alleged, taken out by the activists; instead they were, by the destruction of the grates, given the opportunity to leave the prison themselves. this the foxes did on the night of the action.

these actions were repeated at the start of the week, again the foxes managed to escape. In addition, as was predicted in June, economic harm was accomplished when the clubhouse was burnt down. At this point we would like to thank a club member for the tip that gas canisters were stored on site.

the members of the Hildesheim chapter of the German fox terrier association, especially its Chairman Jürgen Kalmbach, but also supporters, like the district game warden Joachim Algermissen, must also expect that we will continue to monitor you.

we call on the members of the association to immediately close the facility, so that no other non-human animals will be deprived of their liberty there. to deprive them of it and to abuse them as a training tool is unacceptable.

should those responsible not agree with our demands, you must expect not only other liberation actions for the foxes, but also personal consequences in terms of destruction of private property and economic damage in other areas of life.

*until all the cages are empty!*
