Animal welfare in danger: hunters kill over 30,000 pets every year!
Laimgrubengasse 10, 1060 Wien, Österreich - An alarming legal opinion on the hunting laws in Austria causes excitement: Annually, an estimated over 30,000 pets, including especially dogs, are shot by hunters. Dr.in Michaela Lehner from Tierschutz Austria shows that these terrifying numbers are not even recorded in official statistics. The tense situation is exacerbated by the fact that the applicable laws are outdated regarding the shooting of dogs and only offer very limited shelters for animals. So free -range dogs may not only be killed in the forest, but on 98 percent of the state area, which include meadows and fields, which is no longer acceptable according to the report.
outdated laws and lack of protection
Animal protection Austria therefore calls for a bonual ban on killing pets by hunting staff. At the moment, only hunting dogs that are specially designed for hunting are legally protected - an inequality that is criticized by the report. The shooting of pets has its roots in old laws, which were originally intended to regulate abandoned dogs. But with the changed role of dogs as a beloved family members, it is time to fundamentally revise the legal provisions.
Different rules apply in different federal states: While free -running dogs can be killed in Burgenland, Tyrol and Upper Austria without restrictions, the regulations in Styria and other regions are often vague or poorly defined. In view of this unclear legal situation, animal protection Austria calls for a nationwide hunting law to create clear guidelines and to ensure the protection of all pets.For further information on the applicable data protection regulations in relation to animal concerns and the protection of living things, Tiereschutz Austria offers insights into your data protection declaration, which provides transparency and the protection of personal data, as is reported to Tierschutz-austria.at
