Berlin-Zehlendorf again the goal of tire destruction: SUV owner angry about activist action | Article

In Berlin-Zehlendorf, activists have again given air from the tires of numerous SUVs. The vehicle owners found their broken cars as well as notes of the Tyre Expinguishers, an international group of activists, on Tuesday morning. Reading on the notes: "Attention - your fuel eater is fatal. It is not because of you, but because of your car." The activists argue that driving large vehicles in urban areas has enormous impact on others.

The police confirmed the demolished tires and has already received 30 criminal complaints for property damage. The group Tyre Exinguisher confessed to the incidents in Berlin-Zehlendorf and claims that it damaged 120 SUVs that night. Simultaneous actions also took place in Karlsruhe, Belgium, the Czech Republic and Latvia.

It is not the first time that SUV tires in Berlin are damaged. Already in September there were similar incidents in the districts of Pankow and Reinickendorf. The actions are carried out by climate protectionists to point out the effects of large vehicles on the environment.
