Ricarda Lang Meets ‘Axel’ at Raccoon Sanctuary, Urges Humane Population Control

Her Instagram post promoted sponsorships for a Brandenburg sanctuary supporting humane birth-control work.

Overview

  • The visit and photos were taken at the Hauptsache Waschbär e. V. facility in Brandenburg, which cares for sick and injured raccoons.
  • Lang captioned the encounter as the “best day of my life,” joking it even surpassed her 2024 wedding to Florian Wilsch.
  • She praised the sanctuary’s contribution to animal welfare and urban management and encouraged followers to sponsor raccoons.
  • Her comments align with Berlin’s approach to invasive raccoons that emphasizes public education and birth control rather than culling.
  • Media reports note a largely warm public response to the lighthearted post from the Bundestag member and former Greens co-leader.
