Deer flees to the city to escape from hunters

Remarkable images from France. There a hunted deer fled from the forest yesterday to escape from hunters. Totally exhausted, the beast moved to the outskirts of Compiègne to catch its breath.

Hunters had apparently been chasing the deer for a long time on a dog drive hunt. Seeing no other way out, the beast fled the forest and into the city. There it was found around 9 a.m., completely exhausted, on the sidewalk in front of the fence of a construction site.

The police arrived quite quickly to keep everyone away. Still, animal activists quickly arrived on the scene. They wanted to make sure that the deer was treated respectfully, and certainly not handed over to the hunters.

At around 11:30 a.m., a vet managed to numb the exhausted beast. Then it was taken back to the forest and released there. The hunters had now disappeared. They regret the incident but claim that they are always complying with the regulations.

Activists of AVA France are trying to get a ban on driving hunting through a petition. They also complain that certain areas of the forest are not open to the public at this time of the year, but they are open to hunters. Totally agree!

In this Happy Hour we are going to call people who have or have yet to have their birthday. Erik's tip is: [YOUTUBE VIDEO null] [YOUTUBE VIDEO bycGkSBMRAc].

Have fun listening!

Municipalities support National Moluccan Monument

This year it will be 70 years ago that the 1st generation Moluccans were transferred to the Netherlands in 1951 with 12 ship transports. On command, about 4000 Moluccan KNIL soldiers and Navy men came to the Netherlands with their families (in total 12,500 persons). At the point of arrival of the 1st transport ship at the Lloydkade in Rotterdam, it is not yet possible to trace a historical event. The National Moluccan Monument Foundation (LMM) is committed to realizing a monument. The monument will be a tribute to this 1st generation Moluccans and their families and in recognition of the shared past. The monument can also serve to continue telling the story of the arrival of Moluccans in the Netherlands to current and future generations. For anyone interested in this history, the foundation wants to offer an opportunity to learn more. They believe that more knowledge of each other's past leads to more understanding. To realize a monument, the LMM foundation has entered into a p

Largest water lily in the world blooms in Leiden

The oldest botanical garden in the Netherlands, the Hortus Botanicus in Leiden, has a wonderful pineapple scent. That means that the Victoria Amazonica is in bloom. With leaves that can grow up to two meters wide, this is the largest water lily in the world and its flowers smell like pineapple. The flower of the Victoria Amazonica is a night bloomer and only blooms in high summer. What is special is that the water lily only blooms for two nights. Rogier de Vugt, cashier of the Leiden Hortus Botanicus, knows everything about the plant. "The first night the flower is white and gives off a strong pineapple smell, which attracts beetles. The second night the flower turns pink and has no smell anymore. The beetles still come to it and are covered with pollen", explains De Vugt. Because the plant has an enormous size, only one can grow in the pond of the Hortus. "The leaves have raised edges, so they can't grow over each other, so they can't get any light anymore. Th
