My only concern is the date on the blog post but I hare not seen any retraction. This sounds extremely positive and is a lesson for us in N. America.

REORIENTATION OF POLICY ZOOPHILIA
Posted by: Oliver Burdinski | on April 1, 2015
Long I had to be silent and could not tell what happened for weeks in the political Berlin. So I was together with the Executive Board of the Association ZETA about two months ago for the first time to secret talks in the Federal Ministry of Justice and Consumer Protection (BMJV), which is led by the Minister Heiko Maas (SPD), invited.
The surprise was great, because under the leadership of the Social Democratic Minister, there was a general rethinking how must be handled with the members of sexual minorities. This applies not only to deal with people more famous slopes such as homosexuals, transsexuals, transgender and people whose fetishes are referred to pejoratively as still "paraphilias", but also especially Zoophile.
Research that has been commissioned by BMJV in order, confirm the previously launched figures which show that up to 8% of the population has zoophilic tendencies. One of the research comes from even up to 15%, because there einbezog the latent, not been lived with zoophilia. The talks conductive State Secretary Dr. Karl Ranseier clearly said that we should not discriminate against such a large number of voters.
Of course, the balance between animal welfare and the fundamental rights zoophilic people must be found. Dr. Ranseier noted to the need for a fundamental revision of the Animal Welfare Act. Clearly, he said that there should be no new lump discrimination zoophilic people and came to the same conclusion as many experts that the current law is clearly unconstitutional. Therefore, it was also open to a compensation program for victims of Zoophilieverbotes.
In a final round of talks was agreed to in writing by Dr. Ranseier that animal cruelty should be punished more severely, but the blanket ban zoophilic actions will be deleted in this legislative period from the Animal Welfare Act.
Finally, it should also be mentioned that it was in one of the discussions about the everyday discrimination against people with different sexual orientations. Here the BMJV plans together with the anti-Discrimination Agency (ADS) American-style introduction aggravating "Hate Crimes", which automatically which condemns the statutory maximum penalty. The chairman of the ADS, Member of Parliament Jakob Maria Mierscheid (SPD) said this clearly applies also for defamation in social media such as Facebook. In a specific case in the past addressed, he said, the insult "stupid animal fucker" is therefore the future as a hate crime to condemn prison for maximum penalty of 2 years. Anything else would be a miscarriage of justice.

The SPD is concerned about their zoo voters?
Compensations for the victims of the ban?
Insults classified as hatecrimes?
Oh come on, does that sound believable?

It is an "April fools joke" - Dr. Karl Ranseier isn't real - it's a fake person invented for the german version of snl.
Didn't see it - Jakob Maria Mierscheid is a fake politician - it's a joke from 1979 - and it became a running gag.

Hmm, I can't find anything on this outside of that post. Not looking promising. It's a pretty odd prank to try pulling.
