New Animal Welfare Act: Bureaucracy instead of animals?
New Animal Welfare Act: Bureaucracy instead of animals?
Berlin's political stage craved on Monday evening when the heated discussion about the new animal protection law in the German Bundestag reached its peak! Instead of a solution, the critics expect chaos from bureaucracy that could distort animal husbandry in Germany until it is incoming. The voices of the CDU/CSU faction are expressed with the burning passion for the upcoming changes, and the outrage is tangible!
Albert Stegemann, the committed agricultural policy speaker, leaves no doubt that this law could strike a severe blow in its current form of animal husbandry in Germany. "It looks like it is the primary goal of Minister Cem Özdemir to push animal husbandry onto the siding in this country!" He explains in reprint. Effective animal welfare can only work in a well -thought -out framework within the EU, Stegemann continues. Instead, he complains about a draft law that is anything but practical - a real catastrophe for all animal owners!
an outcry against excessive bureaucracy
Astrid Damerow, the reporting deputies, reinforces the criticism: "Our animal welfare law must offer real added value!" Instead of being able to report a noticeable progress, there is excessive bureaucracy and legal uncertainty. "It almost seems as if the draft is characterized by a deep distrust of over a thousand responsible animal owners!", She is outraged.
It becomes particularly drastic when Damerow appeals to the so -called agony paragraph: "These should promote animal welfare, but in reality, they rather lead to more animal suffering! Where is animal welfare when the guidelines are formulated past practical need?" She asks provocatively.
The listeners of the hearing from different departments were in their criticism in their criticism and emphasized the many defects in the draft law. With these overwhelming arguments, it is hardly surprising that the CDU/CSU reaffirms the negative attitude towards the reform. Time is ticking and the clock of animal welfare does not seem to be set to "progress"!
The entire process raises the question: How can a law that contradicts so many interested and experts are seriously assessed as a step into the future? The signs are on storm in the debate about the Animal Welfare Act in Germany!
