Conservation group, The Nature Conservancy, institutes legal action against the Grimm brothers.
In a satirical move that has left many scratching their heads, the Nature and Biodiversity Conservation Union (NABU) has issued a press release suggesting legal action against the Brothers Grimm for their portrayal of wolves in their famous tales. The NABU believes that the depiction of wolves in these stories is outdated and amounts to bullying, as wolves are actually shy creatures, not the bloodthirsty beasts often portrayed.
However, it appears that the press release was a jest, as no search results indicate that any organization has announced legal action against the Brothers Grimm. The NABU's proposal suggests taking the Grimm Brothers' tales out of circulation or distributing them with a wolf guide for kindergartens and primary schools, with the aim of improving the public perception of wolves and freeing them from their "bad image" in literature.
The NABU's federal managing director, Leif Miller, stated that "Little Red Riding Hood" is to blame for the extremely shy wolves being generally seen as aggressive and bloodthirsty. The NABU claims that this tale is responsible for the negative perception of wolves as bloodthirsty and aggressive creatures.
Several other Grimm Brothers' tales are also said to meet the criteria for malicious slander and false incitement against the wolf, although the article does not mention any specific tales besides "Little Red Riding Hood." The NABU's proposal does not indicate whether it applies only to the Grimm Brothers' tales or to all literature that portrays wolves negatively.
It is unclear how the NABU plans to implement its proposal, as the article does not provide any new information about the lawsuit against the Grimm Brothers. The article does suggest, however, that the portrayal of wolves in literature has a significant impact on public perception.
The NABU's proposal does not specify whether the wolf guide would be mandatory or optional, leaving the future of the Grimm Brothers' tales and the perception of wolves in the hands of educators and parents. Whether this proposal will lead to a change in the way wolves are portrayed in literature remains to be seen.
