One Voice goes to court for a young lynx killed with a shovel
A young lynx was killed in agony after getting lost. The village of Niederbronn-les-Bains, near the Northern Vosges, was the scene of a massacre perpetrated with a shovel. A resident violently attacked the animal. One Voice and the ATHENAS Center denounce this barbaric act and have filed a complaint for the destruction of a protected species.
A young lost lynx victim of human cruelty
On October 18, 2024, a local resident was surprised to spot a young lynx in the minigolf park.
A fortunate encounter, given that the feline is usually discreet. But lucky for whom? More for the walker from the Bas-Rhin region than for the feline, who, according to Claude Kurtz, a member and specialist of the French wolf-lynx network, was distraught and starving. The defenseless, lost young animal then suffered an excruciating death at the hands of a resident of Niederbronn-les-Bains.
We won’t let this barbarism go unchallenged
The lynx endured a slow death: he was killed with a shovel in a private henhouse. Who would dare harm an animal like that, moreover one so majestic and rare in France?
This individual had the misfortune to be in the wrong place at the wrong time, and suffered from indifference, worse still, from human malice towards wildlife and its noblest representatives.
One Voice has joined forces with the ATHENAS Center to file a complaint for the destruction of a protected species. We will obtain justice for this feline and continue to fight so that they can all live in peace.
