Animal welfare for construction work: those responsible have to act!

In den letzten Wochen sind vermehrt Probleme an Gebäuden aufgetreten, in denen Jungvögel oder Taubennester durch Baumaßnahmen eingeschlossen wurden. Diese Tiere mussten in Akuteinsätzen von amtlichen Tierärzten gerettet und in Tierschutzvereinen untergebracht werden. Der Bezirksstadtrat für Ordnung, Umwelt, Natur, Straßen und Grünflächen, Christopher Schriner, weist darauf hin, dass trotz des Drucks, Baumaßnahmen schnell abzuschließen und Gebäude zu schützen, der Tierschutz nicht außer Acht gelassen werden darf. Es wird dringend empfohlen, Spalten und Nischen vor einem Verschluss gründlich auf nistende oder brütende Tiere zu untersuchen, um solche Situationen zu vermeiden.

Animal welfare for construction work: those responsible have to act!

In the past few weeks, there have been increasing problems with buildings in which young birds or pigeon nests have been included through construction work. These animals had to be saved by official veterinarians in acute operations and housed in animal welfare associations. The district councilor for order, environment, nature, streets and green spaces, Christopher Schriner, indicates that despite the pressure to complete construction measures quickly and protecting buildings that cannot be neglected. It is strongly recommended to thoroughly examine columns and niches before a closure for nesting or breeding animals in order to avoid such situations.

violations of these regulations can be punished with fines of up to 25,000 euros. This is intended to ensure that builders and homeowners take their responsibility for animal welfare seriously and take appropriate measures to protect animals.

Local, these events can have an impact on construction projects and renovation projects, especially if these take place in areas that serve as a habitat for birds or other animals. It is important that construction companies and homeowners are aware of the importance of animal welfare and take appropriate precautions to prevent damage to the animal world.

In the past, there have been similar incidents in which animals were endangered by construction work. These events have led to the legislation and enforcement of animal welfare laws in relation to construction measures to ensure the protection of birds and other animals.

It is important that builders, homeowners and construction companies of the laws and regulations on animal welfare are aware of and they also follow in order to protect the domestic wildlife and avoid possible fines.
