Alarm level red in pages: animal rights activists save more and more exposed rabbits!

Lochen, Österreich - The animal welfare organization Pfotenhilfe in Lochen raises the alarm: More and more rabbits are being exposed and end up in animal welfare. Every week, the committed animal rights activists take up several animals, often in a unfortunate condition. Johanna Stadler, the managing director of Pfotenhilfe, reports that the reasons for exposing or submitting rabbits are diverse. Separations in families, removals without animal husbandry permits and the lack of interest in children are the most common causes. The paw aid was particularly noticeable that many owners overestimate the care of rabbits, which leads to a high levy wave, such as

The situation is more intensified in the summer months, where many animals are exposed to, because the owners can no longer or do not want to take care of them. Often the rabbits come into the care of the paw aid in a neglected state: long claws, dental problems and various diseases are not uncommon. The animals are often affected by abscesses, inflammation or even rabbit syphilis. A worrying state that not only suffers the animals, but also demands the paw aid that needs more support.

Another point that contributes to the problem of the exposed rabbits are the rash spontaneous purchases in small animal markets. In these shops, rabbits are often advertised as "cute" and "easy -care" pets, which mislead numerous people. Johanna Stadler emphasizes that a ban on spontaneous purchases would also be urgently needed for small animals in order to prevent such tragic fates of the animals. People's shopping habits are another aspect that influences animal welfare. Small animal shows and the exhibition of animals in large retail chains tempt many to act rashly without really finding information about the needs of the animals, such as Meinverzirk represent.

The topic of animal welfare is generally becoming increasingly important in society. Many people want a well -founded discussion about species -appropriate attitudes and the responsibility associated with a pet. According to Statista , consumers are increasingly sensitized and ready to pay more for products that were produced under animal-friendly conditions. This is a central point, especially among vegetarians and vegans, whereby the discussion about the needs of animals is often a challenge.

The paw aid in Lochen therefore needs more support and awareness from society. Every little contribution can help to alleviate the suffering of the abandoned animals and create an environment in which the focus is on animal welfare. Responsibility for our animal roommates does not end with the purchase - it only really starts there.
