Cologne: Sacred animal husbandry - rabbits and Nymphensittich saved!
In Cologne, two animals were recently freed from catastrophic housing conditions - a case that not only puts the shelter but the entire animal welfare community in turmoil. The> Veterinary Office saved an Angora clan and a heavily abused nymphatic bite from a private apartment. The animals lived in a small, dirty cage, which was not only unsuitable, but was simply scandalous. The Wa.de reported that the two animals had little space in their life situation goods.
The condition of the nymphensittish is particularly worrying. It was found under an excuse of abuse - the tail and parts of his wings were obviously separated with scissors. This illustrates the cruel circumstances under which the animals were kept. In the rescue operation, it also became clear that the Angora clan lived in an aviary that is not suitable for its own way. Both animals have now been brought to the Cologne-Dellbrück animal shelter, where they are now accommodated as species-appropriate.
A look at the legal bases
What is to be understood by animal welfare in Germany? In order to prevent such severe abuse as in this case, there is the Animal Welfare Act, which regulates the basic requirements for the species -appropriate attitude of animals. According to Tierschutzgesetz.net is paragraph 11 of the law centrally for the protection of animals and stipulates that holders have to ensure sufficient space, suitable accommodation and a need-oriented feed and water supply. If you ignore these requirements, not only fines, but also serious consequences, such as the confiscation of animals.
A similar case occurred on January 19, 2023 when the specialist service consumer protection and veterinary matters in Ehingen became aware of the impossible keeping conditions of two rabbits. These also lived under unreasonable conditions in too small cages and in their own feces, which not only represents a health risk, but also indicates the failure of the owners. It is terrifying to see that many animals in Germany still have to live under such bad conditions.
A call to attention
The abuse that now come to light not only did the team in the shelter and the animal rights activists stunned, but also call the public on the scene. Pet owners are obliged to ensure the well -being of their animals. Education about the needs of animals should come first before deciding to buy a pet. It is crucial to find out about the specific requirements of a animal species to counteract such cruelty to animals.
In this regard, it can be hoped that the recent incidents will raise awareness of animal welfare issues among the population. The fate of the liberated animals in Cologne-Dellbrück is an example of the fact that Dieh as a community has to do more to ensure that such offenses do not remain unpunished.
