Kot & Köter - The magazine for the German dog enemy was a German magazine that appeared quarterly from April 2014 to mid-2016. The paper satirically dealt with topics related to dogs . International dog meat recipes and the serial novel The Dog Murderer were printed. However, the crowdfunding project proved to be economically unsustainable, even when it hit the headlines in March 2015 on suspicion of inciting a criminal offense. The reason for the ad was the imprint of the Kreisler song Tauben Poison , in which one line had been changed to “Geh 'ma Hundevergiften im Park”. The public prosecutor dropped the case. The affair triggered a slight increase in sales, but at the end of May 2016, editor-in-chief and publisher Wulf Beleites announced the discontinuation of the paper due to insufficient sales.

Beleites developed the idea for the newspaper at the beginning of the 1990s together with three other journalists during an evening in the pub. Initially, however, Beleites tinged with nothing more than a title page draft on talk shows and there, for a fee, was the dog enemy. Initially, he had no intention of actually publishing the magazine, but was at least able to reveal that the talk show editors didn't care if the story with the dog hater newspaper was true at all. The initial edition comprised 1000 copies with 850 subscriptions. The price for the magazine was 7.80 euros. In the first edition, a study by the University of Giessen was published, which thematized the sausage production from dachshund meat, as practiced by Mennonites in Thuringia in the 19th century.
