Shock in Braunschweig: Animals exposed - who will help you now?

Shock in Braunschweig: Animals exposed - who will help you now?

The merging of humans and animals can often be a real adventure, but this relationship does not always bring joy. Tragically, there are always cases in which animals are suspended, as recently in Braunschweig. The animal protection association Braunschweig e.V. has reported several incidents to the public that stimulate thought.

A shocking incident occurred on Tuesday when a mixed breed dog was found in front of an animal shop. Only a short time later, the animal protection association even got messages via a rabbit stake that was parked in a box in crossit. The word "Help" was only on a piece of paper. The findings were alarming: the small creature was in a poor general condition, showed long claws and bad teeth and was visibly scared. Außerdem berichteten Anwohner, dass zwei junge Kater über einen Zaun auf ein Grundstück geworfen wurden. Fortunately, witnesses were able to intervene quickly and bring the hangover to the shelter, where they are now lovingly cared for.

The Braunschweig animal shelter takes care of both the mixed breed dog and the two hangover and the rabbit, which has been offering the home for abandoned and in need since 1882. Here the animals receive preliminary accommodation and under medical care the chance of a new home. The association is not only a refuge, but also a strong mouthpiece when it comes to determining violations of animal and nature conservation law. The animal rescue service is also used around the clock for animals and citizens 365 days a year. Animal protection in Braunschweig goes far beyond rescue and care - the club ensures that animal protection is taken seriously.

But what does animal welfare and animal welfare actually mean? In Germany, the topic is being discussed intensively, whereby many ask how the specific needs of animals can be implemented in practice. The approach to define the animal welfare based on the five freedoms of the Farm Animal Welfare Council is the focus of the debate. For example, freedom of fear and stress or the freedom of hunger and thirst is taken into account. At this point it becomes clear that animal protection is not only a moral question, but also a social responsibility.

Öffentliche Wahrnehmung und Verantwortung

Current surveys show that consumers are increasingly important to consumers. According to a survey of 2021, around 50 percent of those surveyed could imagine paying more for meat products that were produced under ethical standards. Animals are part of our life, and our dealings with them show a lot about our values as a society. The discussion about animal husbandry standards is promoted by various organizations, including PETA and the German Animal Welfare Association, to create more awareness and responsibility.

Although the number of animal experiments has dropped in recent years and animal welfare is gaining in importance for consumers, there is still a lot to do. The topic of animal welfare requires a continuous discussion and fundamental sensitization so that such repeated incidents of animal expenses can be avoided in the future. How can we, as a community, contribute to the fact that animals are no longer exposed in emergency situations?
