...aim that it has one of the strictest animal welfare laws. However, a closer look reveals that even in this country, certain forms of husbandry and practices are still permitted in the treatment of animals that significantly restrict their welfare and dignity. In order to use animals intensively, their suffering is consciously accepted and legitimised with the help of legal provisions. The current animal welfare regulations only define minimum standards, the adherence to which does not guarantee a species-appropriate or stress-free life for the affected animals.

...The illegal killing of wild animals and the trade involved has assumed alarming proportions and has brought many species to the brink of extinction.

Business with exotic animals for the pet market is flourishing, but parts of wild animals and products made from them - such as reptile leather, tiger and lion bones, ivory, or pangolin scales - are also in demand. For certain species,...
