“Animals have the same feelings just like people. They know pain, stress, anxiety, make friendships and mourn the dead.



But you have to acknowledge the emotions and that's what hunters don't do '. Bibi Dumon Tak is strongly against killing animals. Her book In a green tuber country is a furious plea against hunters who sow death and destruction in our fields and forests. She writes about moving to a quiet area, where it is anything but quiet. Every morning she wakes up from gunfire. Hunters literally tear her peace to shreds and cruelly end the lives of hares, wild boars and deer. Where they also slip through the loopholes over and over again.

Bibi Dumon Tak moved from Amsterdam to silence area 33, for her rest. Only to wake up from gunfire almost every morning. Hunters tear her peace to shreds. She decided to oppose the men who loudly end the lives of hares, ducks, geese, deer and wild boars. In Waterland, in the Ardennes, in the crown estates of the royal family: hunting takes place everywhere, exploring the limits of what is legally permitted, and often they cross it. But for some shady reason, hunters are always right in the end. Bibi Dumon Tak discovered that there is a lot that happens in hunting that the daylight cannot bear. She denounces that injustice, in this shot about the practices of hunters, who slip through the cracks over and over again. Their language is therefore undermined. The word “blood” is avoided and hunting is often called “nature management”. Why do you choose such a hobby? Why do you choose to let your encounter with a wildlife end with death? This book is a furious plea against the men who sow death and destruction in our fields and forests.
