Dogs on Diepholzer cemeteries? SPD urgently calls for a change!

The Diepholzer SPD urges a reform of the current cemetery statute to give dogs access to cemeteries. At the moment, the stay of dogs, with the exception of accompanying dogs, is prohibited in Diepholz in the cemeteries. According to the SPD, this regulation no longer corresponds to today's needs of the citizens.

parliamentary group spokesman Ingo Estermann underlines that the existing regulation does not meet many citizens. In addition, the SPD wants dogs to be taken to the cemeteries on the leash in the future. SPD councilor Manfred Albers adds that visiting a grave site is not incompatible with a dog walk. In view of the difficulties in enforcing the current dog ban, the SPD sees a need for action.

Current rules and amendment application

The application for amending the cemetery statute was sent to Mayor Florian Marré. The current passage in the statutes reads: "In the cemetery, it is not permitted to bring animals with the exception of blind dogs." The proposed change would change this passage in: "In the cemetery, it is not permitted to bring animals with the exception of dogs. Dogs must be kept on a leash."

Further information on the regulations can be read in the Cemetery statute by Diepholz . According to the Kreiszeitung Session treated.
