Germany: Nativity Scene Vandalized and Donkeys Tortured
Hat tip Gates of Vienna and Vlad Tepes
It’s Christmas season, and in Europe, that means fantastic Christmas markets. Sadly, it also means that these markets are the targets of terrorists and/or vandals who object to Christianity and Christians in general. In the small town of Erbach (Hesse), unidentified vandals broke into a Nativity Scene display in the wee hours of the morning a few days ago. Not only did they vandalize the place, but they also brutalized two live donkeys in the enclosure.
How sick and disgusting can you get??

Erbach (Hesse)- What a disgusting act! In the small town of Erbach (14,000 residents) in Odenwald, as yet unknown perpetrators left a trail of destruction on Saturday night/Sunday morning (November 30), and in the process even tortured two defenseless donkeys.
Donkeys Lily and Max brutally attacked
The two friendly donkeys Lily and Max, part of the beloved “Live Nativity Scene” in the Christmas market in Hesse, were beaten and tortured around 4 am in their enclosure. That is confirmed by the city administration.
A resident observed the scene by chance from his balcony and yelled at the perpetrators, whereupon they fled. The police are investigating the case for animal cruelty.
Vandalism in the city center
But it was not limited to the abused animals. Apparently, the same perpetrators had already vandalized the Erbach Palace Christmas market. There, electrical boxes, light bulbs, and Christmas decorations were destroyed, several stalls were robbed, and toilets were defaced with graffiti.
Especially disgusting: In the Protestant church in the central city, the vandals left behind feces and damaged candlesticks as well as pews. The church had to be closed after the attack.
Caption: For their safety, Lily and Max were taken back to their farm after the cowardly attack.
Animals taken to safety
To protect the animals, the donkeys were taken back to their farm. Therefore, the visitors to the Nativity Scene will no longer see them. The city has filed a criminal complaint.
Police urgently seek witnesses
Police are hoping for clues from the public. A spokesperson stressed they are investigating all leads and are taking the statements of the witness very seriously. The officers are now seeking more witnesses: 06062/95 30.
