Excess in the Harz: Animal rights activists defend themselves against dog killing!

Harz, Deutschland - In Halberstadt, the fate of the Wolfhound Nanouk ensures a storm of indignation. The veterinary office's decision to put the dog was violently criticized by numerous animal rights activists. They claim that a suitable holder could be found for Nanouk. In particular, the previous supervisor of the dog has expressed her interest in temporarily accepting him and continuing to work with him. According to the MDR reports also collected almost 11,000 signatures against the killing of the animal.

Animal protection activists, including Kay Wagner, criticize the veterinary office's approach as "pure arbitrariness and demonstration of power". He announced that legal steps are examined after the animal was killed. This topic throws a shadow on compliance with the Animal Welfare Act, which is supposed to protect the well -being and dignity of the animals. According to blv.admin.ch, nobody is allowed to inflict pain or suffer from an animal, which further heats up the debate about nanouk.

The condition of the dog and the public reaction

Much of the outrage also comes from social networks, where the veterinary office's approach has met with sharp criticism. Many animal rights activists believe that injustice is done and there is a clear demand for rethinking. The public is more and more informed about responsibility that people have to carry for their pets.

Another case that shows how important animal welfare is, affects Bella, a young vizla bitch who was malnourished and in a critical state of health. Her condition was noticed by a passer -by who informed the veterinary office in Munich. Bella was confiscated in February and has been given the necessary care since then to get well again. Tiereschutz Munich writes that an administrative court recently decided that Bella should return to her previous owner, which represents a further controversial decision in the area of animal welfare.

The legal framework

The topic of animal welfare is also influenced by the legal framework. According to blv.admin.ch There are clear provisions in the Animal Welfare Act that determine that serious violations of the law can lead to a ban on keeping animals or working with them. These legal foundations are intended to ensure that the well -being of the animals comes first and in this light the case of nanouk must also be considered.

The discussion about the responsibility of the owners and the role of the authorities shows that a lot of movement is still required in the field of animal welfare. The wave of outrage suggests that animal rights activists and citizens no longer want to accept that the life of animals is carelessly jeopardized. It remains to be seen which measures are now taken to give animal protection more weight and to be heard to the votes of the activists.
