Scandal in Oranienburg: over 70 animals from burning house saved!

A dramatic incident occurred in Oranienburg in Brandenburg, which is now calling the authorities on the scene. On April 26th there was a fire in a single -family house on Germendorfer Allee, in which more than 70 animals were saved. Among the rescued animals were 62 dogs, 12 domestic cats, 2 Savannah cats, 3 servals and around 45 ducks. The fire was caused by improper use of a gas burner and two people injured easily in the incident, such as MAZ Online reported.

The veterinary office of the Oberhavel district is now criticized. An Oranienburg woman who wants to remain anonymous has turned to the public with allegations. It has allegedly given the veterinary office multiple information on illegal breeding by the homeowner. Neighbors also expressed concerns, but apparently the responsible office did not respond. The press spokesman Tobias Thieme confirmed that several information with animal welfare has been received since 2015, the last message from 2019 was already determined at the time.

criticism of the veterinary office

Again and again there are explained accusations against veterinary officers because of their hesitation reactions in such cases as [Animal-Hoarding] (https://www.animal-hoarding.de/wer-ist-fuer- animal-hoarding-faelle-zent-- It often remains unclear why the authorities did not intervene earlier, even though they were informed about the grievances. The concept of "Animal Hoarding" - the mass accumulation of animals under catastrophic conditions - is in the room in these cases. The inactivity can not only lead to further crimes, but also to the fact that existing animal suffering is not immediately ended.

The animals that were housed in animal shelters after the fire show some alarming health problems. Some had to be put to sleep due to their condition, while others are in veterinary treatment. The majority of the rescued animals are located in the Tornow animal shelter, where the high demand for the 42 dwarf tips and 12 Bengalian cats can be felt. The cats, on the other hand, remain less in demand due to possible diseases.

Investigations run

The investigation against the homeowners about suspected animal welfare violations have already been initiated. According to Tagesschau the authorities did not object for the commercial breeding of vertebrates and the attitude of the exotic Animals did not meet the legal requirements.

The search for a new home for the exotic animals, on the other hand, is difficult. Their accommodation must take place both in and abroad. Here the animal rescuers hope for soon successes so that these animals can also be conveyed in species -appropriate attitudes. In the meantime, the responsibility remains with the authorities who have to ensure that such grievances will be avoided in the future.
