Later in the text: "An excerpt from a 17th-century German chronicle, containing the following report of one such hunt: “one beautiful stag was slain, five does, three sizeable wild boars, nine smaller boars, two male gypsies, one female & one baby gypsy.”

Just some fun facts I came to share today... European history is really so sickening to learn about.

      They also used to kidnap kids from families and put them to work on farms or churches. But Switzerland is the "peaceful" country of course.

        I figure it needs to be added, this wasn't some 17th century stuff, that was common until the 1960s and persisted 'till the 70s.

        They kidnapped kids from poor families and single mothers of course.
