Raccoons plague in the Stendal district: Danger for dogs and domestic species!

Kreis Stendal, Deutschland - alarm level red in the Lausitz! The invasive type of raccoon, originally from North America, spreads out rapidly in Europe and brings with it devastating consequences for the domestic wildlife. In the past few weeks, numerous raccoons have been discovered in the Stendal district that suffer from the highly contagious virus disease. Hunter warns urgently: This disease is a serious threat to our beloved dogs!

The raccoon adaptability is unprecedented. He has not only nestled in rural areas, but also in urban environments, where he ransacked garbage unabashedly and feeds on the remains of human civilization. These voracious animals are not only skillful robbers, but also carriers of diseases that endanger the domestic fauna. The competition for food resources is enormous, and many local species, including birds and amphibians, are in acute danger!

threat to biodiversity

Scientists from the Goethe University Frankfurt a. M. have published alarming results: The effects of the raccoon on amphibians, especially the earth toad, are threatening to the inventory. The consequences are particularly dramatic in regions with a few isolated spawning waters and high raccoon density. The domestic biodiversity suffers from the pressure of this invasive way, which endangers the stability of the ecosystems in the long term.

Time is pushing! Nature conservation practitioners are calling for urgent measures to control the raccoon population to ensure the survival of local species. The ecological balance is in danger, and it is up to us to ring the alarm bells and act before it is too late!
