The situation escalated in the attempts to kill the animal. A police officer gave three shots on the catfish, but did not fatal it, and the animal still lived about 40 minutes after the shots. Finally, the catfish was caught by anglers and killed on land. This procedure triggered outrage and raises the central question: was there a "reasonable reason" for killing the fish? It remains to be seen whether the investigation by the Bavarian State Criminal Police Office will lead to a final judgment. These could take several weeks, according to the assessment of rnd .
Animal protection law in the focus
The Animal Welfare Act requires that there must be a “reasonable reason” for killing an animal. This plays a central role in the investigation. According to the information on das-wissen.de , animal welfare laws are very important worldwide. In Germany, for example, the Animal Welfare Act is managed by the Federal Ministry of Food and Agriculture, with the aim of preserving animals from unnecessary suffering and protecting their needs.
The animal rights organization PETA has already raised criminal complaint against the anglers involved and the police. They criticize the procedure because the catfish still lived after the shots, which is considered improper killing. This campaign not only has legal, but also social dimensions, since it puts the discussion about dealing with animals and the responsibility of man.
In view of the fact that animal welfare laws vary from country to country, this incident shows how important it is to critically consider these laws and their implementation and, if necessary, rethink. Waiting for the results of the investigation could provide further findings on this controversial topic and raise many questions, especially about the right balance between human protection and animal welfare.| Details | |
