The Case of the Murdered Goats: Exploring Germany's Far-Right Rumor Mill - SPIEGEL ONLINE
So who's spreading these falsehoods?
Online communication leaves a trail and can be traced. In the case of the murdered goat, that trail leads back to the Facebook page of a man named Peter Knoche.
He's the deputy spokesman of the local chapter of the right-wing populist party Alternative for Germany (AfD) in the western German city of Wuppertal, and he admits to being the first person to publish that rumor on social media. His source was "a friend" who was "out and about" in Magdeburg.
To this day, Knoche maintains that his friend is "absolutely trustworthy." He has nevertheless deleted the story from his Facebook wall. There is no denying that the petting zoo in Lostau no longer exists, Knoche admits. But when reached via e-mail, his friend even has an explanation for that.
As it turns out, Knoche's friend is also active in the
AfD's local branch in Wuppertal. He's the party's "political spokesman for asylum policy." In an e-mail, he insists that the incident at the petting zoo had been "confirmed by witnesses." He had simply gotten "mixed up" about the place. It happened in Halberstadt, he says, about 60 kilometers from Lostau. There, a zookeeper could testify to everything, Knoche's fellow party member says without providing a name. The man cannot be identified, he says, lest he risk losing his job.
"Utter nonsense," says the director of the Halberstadt zoo, Marina Breitschuh. No one plundered the zoo, she adds, and all the animals, including the goats, are doing just fine. There are also no right-wingers threatened with termination among the zookeepers, she says. Breitschuh was, however, familiar with the rumor of the slaughtered goats, but the story she heard allegedly took place in Erfurt. One call to the Thuringian capital was all it took to confirm: no missing animals.
"This is a very common pattern," says Andre Wolf from Mimikama, an online platform in Austria that fights Internet abuse. Once a fabricated story is clearly refuted, those behind it will often uproot it to another location and begin spreading the rumor there. "Some stories are like old acquaintances," says Wolf. "They resurface every few weeks or months from the depths of the Internet."
