Scandal at the German Public Award

The fact that recreational hunters are a thoroughly dishonest, manipulative and militant group of violent individuals is becoming increasingly evident even in mainstream media.

Each year, the public vote of the German Engagement Prize 2023 competition is held in Germany.

Rule violation in favor of recreational hunters

However, the rules were summarily broken in favor of the recreational hunters, who were declared the winners. Simone Schmidt, Rehkitz- und Tierhilfe from Bavaria, clearly won the public vote with 25,339 votes, ahead of the hunters’ association of LK Verden with 21,363 votes. The organizers of the German Engagement Prize reshuffled the rules and suddenly awarded both projects in the same category.

Subsequently, the scandal continued to grow. The Verden hunters’ association celebrated itself as the sole winner. NDR reported on the award ceremony, but only mentioned the Verden hunters’ association. Simone Schmidt and her Rehkitz- und Tierhilfe from Bavaria was not mentioned with a single word!

Recreational hunters of Verden under scrutiny

Hobby hunters and hobby huntresses do not create habitat for wildlife, but killing opportunities for themselves.

The Verden hunters’ association wins the Engagement Prize, even though it visits primary schools and is suspected of indoctrinating children with hunting ideology. Children are presented with stuffed animals that are barely observable in the wild anymore, because they are forced to hide during the day under the immense pressure of hunting.

The Verden hunters’ association wins the Engagement Prize, even though it primarily engages in nature reserves in recreational hunting under the guise of nature conservation.

The Verden Hunters' Association wins the engagement award, even though it does not fulfil its wildlife management mandate of ensuring a healthy, species-rich wildlife population, writes Wildtierschutz Deutschland, Lower Saxony section.
