PETA comments on the important measure to protect dogs and humans

Berlin/Stuttgart. Important step to the animal -friendly attitude of dogs: The Berlin Senate plans to introduce a dog license. This well -founded certificate of expertise for all dog owners should then also replace the so -called racial list, which classifies certain dogs as particularly dangerous. At a hearing in the House of Representatives, experts spoke out for this procedure. The animal rights organization PETA has been calling for the individual federal states for years to introduce the dog handler. Because the four -legged friends can offer a more animal -friendly life and bent incidents. In Berlin alone, a total of 523 biting incidents with injured people, 357 with injured dogs were registered in Berlin.

Jana Hoger, animal psychologist with a focus on dog and specialist for animal roommates at PETA, commented: “Every day after day, we get reports on biting incidents in which people or other living beings are partly violated by dogs. All this happens because dog owners often do not recognize body language and the signals of their four -legged friend. Reduce the coexistence of human-dogs. Rashed internet purchases finally less. We are happy when Berlin implements this important step in the upcoming legislative period and support this project fully. ”
