Government takes a decisive step for animal welfare - ban on dog training!

Laimgrubengasse 10, 1060 Wien, Österreich - Austria is experiencing a pioneering decision in animal welfare: Federal Minister Johannes Rauch has issued a ban on private biting and attack training for dogs. This measure is celebrated as a great success by a broad alliance of animal welfare organizations, including four paws, per animal and many others. It is feared that such training sessions based on violence and dominance scenarios not only mean enormous stress for the animals, but also pose a risk to people. "There is simply no reasonable reason to sharpen dogs in the private sector," emphasizes Allianz in its statement. However, the ban does not affect official dog sports such as "agility", so that dog owners are still available to alternative training options, as reported. reported.

The reactions to this innovation are consistently positive, since the suspicion that such training methods are animal welfare and no longer up to date is widespread. Animal welfare organizations have long been calling for a rethink in dealing with dogs and greeting the step by Minister Rauch, which is referred to as "milestone in animal welfare". The new approach is intended to ensure that dogs are not brought up for aggressive behavior. Dies wird als hervorragende Möglichkeit angesehen, das Zusammenleben von Mensch und Tier zu verbessern und potenzielle Gefahren zu minimieren, wie auch OTS.at reported.

In addition, the Austrian animal shelters are faced with challenges that are reinforced by the current crises. The facilities put pressure on price increases and potential declines in donations. In order to counteract here, an emergency fund was launched to offer animal shelters financial support. Organizations such as per animal play a central role in the management of these funds, which are to be used for the appropriate care and medical care of animals. These measures are part of the constant efforts to sustainably improve the living conditions of animals in the country.
