translating German with google translate is kinda tricky since German has a different gramatic

Here is a translation of the linked article, because I am such a nice horse:
As every year, the ZETA-Verein celebrated Zoophile Rights Day with a nice evening
meet-and-talk, as well as a demonstration for ZRD. This time the latter took place on
Alexanderplatz, Berlin. There - next to the second highest TV Tower in the world, as
well as vis-a-vis the famous Urania world clock - it's arguably cozier than on
the drafty Potsdamer Platz in February. The ZETA-Verein will also be writing much more
on the protest.
The antis, under the lead of the Alliance against zoophilia (Agz), protested at Potsdamer Platz. Probably under the assumption that they snapped this place from the ZETA-Verein. Well, let's let them dwell happily on their assumption.
About 15 people from the circles of Agz were there, and in addition - as last year - Bastian Sommer and ca. 20 of his hard-right pals. These are the numbers from their facebook page at least, same day. Originally, 192 persons had confirmed their
attendance there.
Bastian Sommer is a former member of the NPD, but "left" it. Within informed circles, he is still seen as firmly hard-right and "an ideologically firm Neonazi with openly
presented extermination fantasies."
It's telling that Bastian Sommer attended again, and - as last year once more - delivered the speech in front of the anti-zoophilia rally. This shows again, that the
anti-zoophiles are people who collude openly and easily with Neonazis and the extreme
right ideologies. Nobody should be surprised that their facebook pages are littered
with phrases such as "gas them".
This year the anti-protest was quieter, compared to the trouble caused by Agz and Neonazis last year (see 1,2). But surely, next year again we'll have to expect Agz and
their nazi-appendix in Berlin.

sweet, thanks for the translation. I'm not sure how to feel about being targeted, not by animal rights groups (as would be expected), but neo-nazis. Obviously It sucks they're facing any kind of resistance, but people will dismiss the AGZ because of their ties with neo-nazis. I guess this is kind of a good thing because at the moment, from an outsiders perspective, the choice looks like either pro-zoo or pro-nazi. I imagine people would rather be pro-zoo or at least neutral given that choice.
If this ever gets big enough to attract the attention of large animal rights groups it will drive the public to side with them under the guise of protecting animals.
