Königspython to the bus stop: Animal welfare calls for posture!

Kenn, Deutschland - In Kenn, a royal spython was recently discovered that was found at a bus stop. The passer -by, who discovered the approximately one and a half meter long snake, found it in a bucket that was specially prepared. This indicates that the previous owner had deliberately suspended the snake there. The police reported on Sunday, October 13, 2024 that the animal tried to escape from the bucket. In view of the cold temperatures, an escape for the snake would have been fatal, which reinforced the urgency of the find.

After the finder gave the line to the police, it was handed over to the fire brigade, which is responsible for the care of animals in such situations. The police's investigation aims to find the legitimate owner of the snake. However, the incident raises serious questions about the attitude of exotic animals in private households.

claims for a ban on posture

The animal protection organization PETA called on the scene. It demands a general ban on the private attitude of exotic animals. PETA criticizes that the purchase of dangerous animals is still possible without the necessary specialist knowledge. This means that numerous exotic animals from terrariums are escaped or simply exposed to their overwhelmed owners every year.

The organization points to the overcrowding of animal shelters and catch stations, which often have to fight with such animals. A report, published in 2020 by the Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation, Nuclear Security and Consumer Protection (BMUV), also emphasizes that trading with exotic wild animals contributes significantly to the global extinction of species. This is an alarming finding that underlines the urgency of Peta’s demands.

In addition, Peta makes it clear that there are health risks even in non -toxic animals such as the royal python. A study shows that approximately 90 percent of these animals are carriers of salmonella that can cause serious illnesses in humans, including meningitis or even deaths.

The tragic discovery in Kenn has thus triggered far -reaching discussions about the responsible use of exotic animals and illustrates how important legal regulations are in this area. The question arises as to how in the future it can be ensured that such animals are not acquired with rash and suspended in the event of difficulties.
