Illegal puppy transports: Würdelose conditions uncovered in Bavaria!

Illegal puppy transports: Würdelose conditions uncovered in Bavaria!

In a worrying incident that shows the illegal animal transport practice, several dog puppies were recently discovered in Bavaria under frightening conditions. Two drivers, a 36-year-old and a 28-year-old who came from Romania, were stopped by the police when they transported a number of puppies in their vehicles. According to the police reports, the puppies were kept to drinking water without access and had also received no necessary vaccinations. The controls began on Friday when the federal officials on the A6 in the Upper Palatinate checked the van of the first driver.

In the vehicle, the police found two French bulldogs and two small spitz puppies that were only six to eight weeks old. All animals were housed in too small transport boxes, which were obviously not designed for such a long transport. The driver stated that they wanted to bring the puppies to potential buyers in Germany. The police immediately handed over the dogs to the local veterinary office in Neustadt an der Waldnaab, where they are now accommodated in quarantine and are vaccinated against rabies.

Another incident with Dachshund puppies

On Sunday, police officers in Swabia set up another illegal puppy transport. On the A8 near Leipheim, they checked a 28-year-old who had controlled an overloaded van. In the footwell of the vehicle they discovered a small transport box with four dachshund puppies that were estimated to be eight weeks old. The shock was great when the officials found that the puppies had been transported not only without water, but also without food. In addition, the dachshunds were fake; The specified age of four months did not match the actual assessment.

When checking the van, another serious problem came to light: the driver had exceeded the permissible total weight of his vehicle by almost 50 percent. The cargo, which included electrical articles and food doses, was not properly secured. Due to the severity of these violations, the 28-year-old is now being investigated for forgery of documents and violations of the Animal Welfare Act.

The two incidents throw a bright light on the grievances in the illegal puppy trade, which has increased in recent years. The passion of many people for pets means that more and more buyers fall for fraudulent offers. Local authorities and animal welfare organizations urgently warn against accepting and advising such offers only to buy from serious breeders.

The fact that these animals are kept under devastating conditions, often from Eastern Europe, are particularly worrying. Illegal transport not only endangers the well -being of the dogs, but also the health of the people who could get in touch with them. The import of dogs without valid vaccinations can lead to diseases such as rabies.

The police have announced that it will continue to act more against illegal puppy trade. Future controls are intended to ensure that animal welfare regulations are observed. Cooperation with the veterinary office is crucial to protect the well -being of the animals and to protect people from health risks.
