AfD Member of Parliament in Psychiatric Care

Udo Stein, deputy chairman of the Baden-Württemberg AfD parliamentary group, is receiving inpatient psychiatric treatment. The passionate recreational hunter allegedly threatened individuals with an airsoft pistol. A hunting knife and ammunition were found in the Stuttgart state parliament building.

AfD Official at the Hunting Association

An AfD official and hunting associate of Stein serves as managing director of the state hunting association and is responsible for the hunting examination. This is causing concern among other parliamentary groups. More on the topic Crime and Hunting and Recreational Hunting.

You can help all animals and our planet with compassion. Choose empathy on your plate and in your glass. Go vegan.

More on the subject of recreational hunting: In the dossier Poaching and hunting crime in Switzerland we document cases, legal questions and recurring patterns. What the research says about this is shown by Hunting fact-checked: the state of research.

The position of IG Wild beim Wild: IG Wild beim Wild rejects recreational hunting. Our model is the canton of Geneva, which has managed without recreational hunting since 1974: without hunting seasons, without hunting dogs, without driven hunts, without high seats, without the animal cruelty and crime that go hand in hand with hunting season elsewhere. What has worked there for over fifty years disproves every position paper by JagdSchweiz. An association that bases its policy on claims it refutes in its own documents is not a professional organisation, but a factory for misinformation.
