The author is not confused. The animal rights law was the first of the green laws passed in Nazi Germany in 1933. On the very night of the Long Knives in 1934, Goering extolled the new green Hunting Law. Sustainable forestry practices began in the Reich about the same time, and by 1935, Hitler signed the Reich Nature Protection Act - the RNG. Furthermore, there is no question that these ‘green’ laws were certainly targeted against Jewish views on nature.
Just for example, the 1933 Animal rights law contained specific provisions against the Jewish practice of ritual slaughter for Passover. The inspiration for such a law was the Anti-Semitic green guru of animal rights going back to the 1800’s, Arthur Schopenhauer, who obsessed over Jewish views on nature going back to Genesis 1 which need to expelled from Europe. Hitler could quote him verbatim as he was his favorite philosopher. Neither was it a coincidence that the Jews were later treated like experimental animals later on during the holocaust itself.
Good info. Thanks.
