Animal welfare in Nazi Germany

[LSD-Rumi]

Jesus Christ! Burning Humans Alive while having advanced animal welfare laws? Maybe Hitler had a good heart but got corrupted by antisemitic ideas.

• nazis had prohibited slaughter without stunning or anesthesia under a law that was passed on April 21, 1933
• In his private diaries, Nazi Propaganda Minister Joseph Goebbels described Hitler as a vegetarian whose hatred of the Jewish religion in large part stemmed from the ethical distinction this faith drew between the value of humans and the value of other animals
• Goebbels also mentions that Hitler planned to ban slaughterhouses in the German Reich following the conclusion of World War II.
• Germany was the first nation to ban vivisection.[11] A law imposing total ban on vivisection was enacted on August 16, 1933, by Hermann Göring as the prime minister of Prussia.[12] He announced an end to the "unbearable torture and suffering in animal experiments" and said that those who "still think they can continue to treat animals as inanimate property" will be sent to concentration camps.[8] On August 28, 1933, Göring announced in a radio broadcast
• Göring also banned commercial animal trapping and imposed severe restrictions on hunting. He prohibited boiling of lobsters and crabs. In one incident, he sent a fisherman to a concentration camp[13] for cutting up a bait frog.

Someone like Hitler is the perfect example of how originally good intentions can become so utterly, utterly corrupted that they are almost not recognizable as good anymore, neither to oneself nor to others. And Hitler had a lot of hate in his heart...

Adolf Hitler war kein Vegetarier, präsentierte sich aber gerne als solcher[1] und zeigte sich privat gern mit seiner Hündin Blondi. Auch Hermann Göring war nicht nur Reichsjägermeister,[2] sondern gab sich öffentlich auch als Anhänger des Tierschutzes. Neben dem Tierschutz war auch der Naturschutz im Nationalsozialismus ein wichtiges Propagandathema.[3] Das nationalsozialistische Tierschutzgesetz vom 24. November 1933[4] war das erste, das für das gesamte Deutsche Reich galt und gehörte zu den frühen, zentralen Gesetzgebungsmaßnahmen der Anfangszeit des Regimes. Es wurde intensiv propagandistisch begleitet.[5][6][7] Später wurden Tierschutzaspekte ökonomischen wie wehrwirtschaftlichen Zielen zunehmend untergeordnet.[8]

Adolf Hitler was not a vegetarian, but liked to present himself as such[1] and liked to show himself in private with his dog Blondi. Hermann Göring was also not only Reichsjägermeister,[2] but also publicly presented himself as a supporter of animal protection. In addition to animal protection, nature conservation was also an important propaganda theme under National Socialism.[3] The National Socialist Animal Protection Act of 24 November 1933[4] was the first to apply to the entire German Reich and was one of the early, central legislative measures in the early days of the regime. It was accompanied intensively by propaganda.[5][6][7] Later, animal protection aspects were increasingly subordinated to economic as well as military-economic goals.[8]

Many measures that were taken by Hitler to "make things better" were actually also just the result of Hitlers disdain and hate for certain things, such as for example the cleaning of factories, they even made the factories beautiful (putting flowers in there etc.), but actually, Hitler was very, very disgust sensitive, which is why he did that. 

They got rid of the bugs in the factories (cockroaches etc) using "Cyclone B", which is the exact same gas they used to kill the Jews. He often referred to the Jewish people as "Ungeziefer", (engl. "vermin"). So yes, his good intentions were totally and completely perverted by hate.

Love of animals can sometimes be a symptom of hatred towards humanity, (ultimately self hatred). Not that the love is false, however, a dualistic belief of animals being pure, innocent and good and humans being inherently evil is the root of it.
