Vacation time: How to secure the well -being of your pet!

The exciting time of the summer vacation is just around the corner, and many families in Bavaria are already planning their vacation. But what happens to the beloved pets during this absence? This question not only employs animal owners, but also animal welfare associations, which have to show increased commitment during this time. The Neuburg Animal Welfare Association is clearly in favor of only handing over animals to familiar people in order to ensure the security and well -being of the animals. Gerd Schmidt, the chairman of the association, warns: "There is a risk that animals could run away in unsuitable accommodation", which can be extremely threatening for the animals.

If there is no suitable care space, the doors of the local animal shelter are open. According to the Donaukurier, animals can be accommodated there for a day to several weeks. The animal shelter's specialist staff ensures that the animals are well looked after so that the risk of runoff is minimized. Around 60 dogs and cats as well as some more exotic animals such as 11 horses, 4 pigs and 3 goats are currently housed in the shelter. A special challenge are the approximately 400 hedgehogs that were looked after this year and often arrive in poor health.

animal protection in focus

The animal protection association took the matter seriously; The exposure of animals is considered an administrative offense, for example. According to the provisions of the Animal Welfare Act, it is punishable to suspend or leave a pet back in order to get rid of it. These measures are considered cruelty to animals, be it through active suspensions or letting passive things behind, the legal resources of [animal in law] report (https://www.tierimrecht.org/de/recht/lexikon-tukehrrecht/ausetzen-und-zurcklassen/). It is not crucial whether the animal actually happens, but that it is brought into a dangerous situation from a safe one.

Especially on vacation, when many animal owners travel, these regulations become all the more important. Gerd Schmidt points out that uncontrolled propagation is often the result of inadequate care, since many owners do not allow their animals to be neutered. A cat protection regulation is discussed in the region that could help reduce the number of stray animals and thus possibly reduce animal suffering.

The animal protection association, which is financially stable and receives support from the municipalities, is accordingly ready to strengthen animal welfare in the region and to help the animals concerned in need. If you cannot look after your pet over the holidays, you should therefore imagine at an early stage where the animal can best be accommodated.

vacation also means responsibility - not only for yourself, but also for the four -legged friends at home. A good hand when choosing the right care option can be crucial here.
