Rhein on flames: Sad episodes for animals and the future of the event

"Rhein in flames" takes a fatal end - "Fireworks of the shame"

The event "Rhein in Flames" moved to the Rheinaue on May 3, but the festivities ended tragically. Despite the fascination for the fireworks, there were several incidents, including a storm -related closure of the event. However, this was not the only incident, since the planned drone show highlight also had to be canceled due to an external drone, which also clouded the mood.

fatal effects on the animal world

After the event day, the animal savior Stefan Bröckling discovered a died swan that was presumably panicked during the fireworks. He pointed out that the swan could possibly have flown against a high -voltage line or a construction fence. These tragic events raise fear that other animals were damaged during the fireworks.

call for consequences

Stefan Bröckling also expressed his determination to prevent the next edition of "Rhein on flames". In a public statement, he emphasized that the stupid price in the form of animal life should not be accepted for short -term entertainment. The reactions of his followers on social media confirm this perspective and call for a reassessment of such traditions.

Environmental awareness and mitigation

The incident also raises fundamental questions about sustainability and ethics of fireworks events in urban areas. While fireworks inspire many people, animal rights activists and environmental activists see urgent need for action. Alternatives such as drone shows or holographic representations could be future options to meet both the aesthetic requirements and to take into account the animals and the environment.

City of Bonn reacts

In response to the incidents, the city of Bonn published a statement to react to the criticism of the event. The discussion about the dangers of fireworks and their effects on the wildlife is re -lived up by such incidents and requires a comprehensive public debate about the future of such traditions.
