One
of
Cologne's
beautiful
park
ponds
with
a
naturally
selected
flock
of
water
birds,
called
swan,
Canada
goose,
Egyptian
goose,
duck,
coot,
moorhen
and
sometimes
herons,
in
some
places
also
seagulls,
sometimes
also
pigeons,
enliven
the
parks
and
waters,
so
that
the
sensitive
visitor
is
Whether
you
are
a
local
or
a
tourist,
a
wistful
feeling,
an
animal-friendly
feeling
comes
over
you,
to
finally
see
living,
flying
animals
that
you
otherwise
only
know
as
corpses
on
your
own
plate,
or
as
background
scenery
on
television...
They,
the
guests
from
Nile
Egypt
and
Canada,
have
been
arriving
here
for
decades
and
are
warmly
welcomed
by
the
population.
Only
a
few
loud-mouthed
racists
denigrate
them
as
"foreigners
out"
-
animals
that
are
supposedly
"invasive"
and
would
displace
the
native
animals,
but
they
help
to
mention
that
all
animals
are
subject
to
hunting
laws
and
practices
that
are
released
at
will,
-
anyone
with
a
hunting
license
is
allowed
to
do
so
-
especially
those
who
are
racist
The
anti-waterfowl
scene,
which
only
presents
itself
rhetorically
in
favor
of
local
duck
welfare,
would
no
longer
have
anything
to
laugh
about
if
they
were
clearly
accused
not
only
of
the
small-heartedness
of
their
own
character,
but
also
of
the
statistically
small
number
of
their
own
members.
-
If
only
people
wanted
to
stand
up
in
time,
to
raise
their
voices
and
protests
and
to
raise
their
voice
to
the
call
to
stand
up
positively
and
actively
for
the
waterfowl,
for
the
local
waterfowl
as
well
as
the
waterfowl
that
have
immigrated
from
abroad!
And
they
would
announce
this,
say
it,
appeal
to
their
respective
authorities
-
the
city
environmental
authorities,
-
landscape
authorities,
hunting
and
fishing
authorities,
the
city
drainage
authorities,
the
mayor,
then,
and
only
then,
would
the
few,
but
still
too
loud,
animal
enemies
-
voices
slightly
drowned
out
in
favor
of
a
more
animal-friendly,
and
here:
more
waterfowl-friendly
attitude...
So
come
on
animal
lovers,
call
your
authorities
and
tell
them
how
great
you
think
the
presence
of
waterfowl
in
our
city
is!!!
As
a
person
who
also
has
this
attitude,
I
have
already
done
this.
It
would
be
great
if
more
people
would
join
in!!
Thanks!
With
kind
regards,
Joseph
