fao: those who strip bark from trees

[APC]

Just found that Germany took debarking quite seriously in the 1500's;

 

" und wo der begriffen wird, der einen stehenden baum schälet, dem wäre gnad nützer dan recht u. wann man deme sol recht thun, soll man ihm seinen nabel bei seinem bauch aufschneiden u. ein darm daraus thun, denselbigen nageln an den stamm u. mit der person herumgehen, so ,lang er ein darm in seinem leib hat"

 

Translated to:

 

"and whoever is caught stripping off a standing tree, mercy would have been more benificial to him than the law is; for when law is to be fulfilled, then one is to cut up his stomach at the navel, and pull out a length of the gut. The gut is to be nailed to the tree, and one is keep going around that tree with the person, so long as he still has any part of the gut left in his body"

 

Might put some signs up on few boundaries I manage. Hopefully will put a few people off, although there will inevitably be some hand-wringing loonie-lefties who say that this punishment is unnecessarily harsh.

Wow scary old timer Germans! :eek:

Sounds like a good policy.

 

Now, if that can be the bench mark and all other punishments can be based on that we might actually see some good punishments dished out for arson, rape, murder, chainsaw theft etc.

Sensible policy for a better society - I fail to see the problem with that!

I think it contradicts one of the Ten Commandments - Love Thy Navel.

I sent the rabbits a text and the cheeky sods replied 'bugger off'.

 

 

I'll get my coat.
