  • VIER PFOTEN – Stiftung Für Tierschutz / FOUR PAWS European Policy Office, Brussels
    VIER PFOTEN – Stiftung für Tierschutz / FOUR PAWS European Policy Office, Brussels KILLING OF HEALTHY DOGS IN EUROPE Legal Research I. SUMMARY 1.1 Legality of the killing of healthy dogs In 10 EU Member States the law explicitly allows to kill dogs in shelters or strays. In 7 EU Member States, killing of healthy cats and dogs can be practiced because the law does not prohibit it (no legislation on this issue). In 8 EU Member States (+ the Spanish Region of Catalunya), the Law clearly prohibits the killing of dogs in shelters or abandoned and their offspring. Member States who have prohibited the killing of healthy dogs are mainly located in Central Europe We couldn’t succeed to find the Cyprus and Maltese legislation on this topic 1.2 The person responsible of the killing In 15 EU Member States, the law allows only veterinarians to kill an animal (healthy or sick), and in one Member State, the killing has to be done at least under the supervision of a veterinarian. In 6 EU Member States, the law allows the killing of stray animals by another person than a veterinarian: a police officer, a professional killer, or even any other person. In 5 EU Member States, the Law does not say who can practice the killing 1.3 Reasons for killing In all Member States, suffering of the dog and public health risk is a reason for killing animals In at least 11 EU Member States, public safety is also a valid reason to kill animals 1.4 Deadline Among the 12 EU Member States which authorize the killing of healthy dogs, 8 of them provides a time frame during which the killing is not possible.

Furthermore, we would like to draw your attention to the loopholes in EU Regulations which help facilitate this trade, provide cover for illegal activities, and thereby threaten the survival of wild tigers. We repeat our request1 to the Commission to exercise its mandate under Article 19.4 of the Basic Regulation 338/97 to adopt additional measures to ensure that the EU does not contribute to the breeding of tigers for trade in their parts and derivatives nor contributes to the breeding for commercial trade in tigers without demonstrated conservation benefit.2 We ask that the Commission takes priority steps to ban all intra-EU and external trade in live tigers and tiger parts and derivatives for commercial purposes. We also would like to thank Commissioner Sinkevičius for highlighting the plight of tigers and the need for their protection at the webinar Profit or protection: Why Europe needs to ban the commercial trade in tigers and their parts 3 organised by FOUR PAWS on December 1st, 2020. EU-wide commercial trade and illegal activities Following the seizure of dead tigers and equipment to make tiger products from a registered tiger breeder in the Czech Republic (July 2018), animal welfare organization FOUR PAWS has consistently documented illicit activities throughout the European Union from 2018 to December 2020.

  • Puppy Trade in Europe
    PUPPY TRADE IN EUROPE Research on the impact of illegal businesses on the market, on consumers, on the one-health concept and on animal welfare FOUR PAWS International November 2013 SUMMARY The puppy trade business (with mostly breed puppies) grew more professional and more industrial in the last 5 years. The profit margin all through the trade chain and the little to none existent law enforcement seems to make it an easy gamble with a lot of wins. They drug the puppies and drive with them through the whole of Europe. This industrial scale of puppy trade needs to be targeted. Stronger law enforcement needs to be put in place to control known traders and their veterinarians. In the frame of its 2013 Puppy Trade Campaign, FOUR PAWS has mandated an investigator to lead a field investigation to identify puppy trade networks in Europe. The goal was to identify the biggest puppy traders likely to be illegal traders using harmful or illegal practices and breaching current puppy trade, transport and animal welfare legislation. Out of a range of identified targets, several puppy traders were chosen to be investigated more in detail. During its 8 month inquiry, the investigator visited around 50 places. This permits to shed light on how puppy trade businesses are operating today. The interviews, collected documents and detailed observation led to identify around 30 international trade links that appear to be operational. In parallel to this investigation, FOUR PAWS has lead several actions against illegal puppy trade. Among other, the organisation has created a platform (www.stoppuppytraders.org) to gather testimonies of people who bought a puppy that was sold through illegal practices, got seriously ill or died.

    Director-General Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus Director-General's Office WHO Headquarters Avenue Appia 20 1211 Geneva, Switzerland Vienna, 10th March 2021 Dear Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, Dear Dr Monique Eloit, Dear Dr QU Dongyu, On behalf of the international animal welfare organisation, FOUR PAWS, I am writing to you upon the first anniversary of the World Health Organisation declaring COVID-19 a pandemic. FOUR PAWS is an international Animal Welfare organization with offices in ten European countries, as well as South Africa, Australia, Vietnam, Thailand and the USA. We run several campaigns and projects for wild animals, farm animals and companion animals to improve the welfare of animals kept under direct human influence. Reflecting on Dr Tedros’ speech, a year ago today, which called for “a whole-of-government, whole- of-society approach, built around a comprehensive strategy to prevent infections, save lives and minimize impact,” it is deeply concerning that the same approach is not being applied to tackling the root causes of this pandemic and other zoonoses. As you will all be aware, approximately 75% of emerging infectious diseases1, such as SARS and BSE, are zoonotic, originating from a range of animal species. COVID-19, with its potential origins in a live animal market, later infected millions of mink on fur farms across the globe, resulting in new concerning virus variants that can spill over back to humans and affect vaccine efficacy. Beyond the tragic human health toll of COVID-19, zoonoses cause approximately one billion cases of illness in people and millions of deaths every year2.

  • COVID-19 First Detected in European Mink Farms a Year Ago – Ngos and the Public Urge the EU to Act
    COVID-19 first detected in European mink farms a year ago – NGOs and the public urge the EU to act For immediate release: Brussels 14 April 2021 12 months after the SARS-CoV-2 virus was first detected in animals in a mink farm in the Netherlands, the EU has failed to take decisive action to shut down these coronavirus reservoirs despite huge public support for a ban on fur farming. In recent months, almost 500.000 people have signed a petition calling for an end to the cruel and deadly fur trade. A new survey also shows strong support for emergency EU action to put an end to fur farming and breeding, to protect the health of EU citizens and animals. Throughout the past year, there have been outbreaks of SARS-CoV-2 (the virus that causes COVID-19 to humans) on more than 400 mink farms in ten EU Member States, with millions of animals affected. Given the living conditions on fur farms, once a single animal has been infected, the virus spreads quickly. It soon became evident that the SARS-CoV-2 virus could not only spread between farmed mink and mutate, but can also be transmitted back to humans and wildlife. Fur farms pose a threat to public health and have the potential to become reservoirs for the coronavirus. A joint assessment from the World Health Organization (WHO ), the World Organisation for Animal Health (OIE) and the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) warned that there is a significant risk of COVID-19 being transmitted from mink to humans.

    FOUR PAWS International Thomas Pietsch Wild Animal Lead Expert Schomburgstraße 120 22767 Hamburg Germany Ministry of Agriculture Prof. Davor Romić, PhD, Minister Ministry of Agriculture Ulica grada Vukovara 78 10000 Zagreb Croatia 24. February 2016 Dear Minister, Uphold the legal ban of fur farming in Croatia I am writing you on behalf of the international animal welfare organisation FOUR PAWS. We strive for sustainable improvements for animals through substantiated research and scientific expertise, awareness raising campaigns and projects providing concrete solutions for animals in need. We are focusing on animals that are directly under human influence, in the area of captive wild animals fur farming is one of our main working areas. FOUR PAWS runs offices in countries like Austria, Switzerland, The Netherlands or United Kingdom with legal bans for fur farms in place and since years we encourage the development of such legal measures that effectively protect fur bearing animals from cruelty. Behind this background we are alarmed to hear that the ban in Croatia is threatened by a new amendment to the Animal Protection Act which would exclude chinchillas from the existing ban. In our opinion such an amendment would be a huge step backwards for Croatian welfare legislation and the protection of fur animals, especially because of the fact that the transitional period should end in less than a year. Today more and more European countries decide to ban all types of fur farming irrespective of the species concerned. We are now worried that Croatia – being one of Europe’s forerunner countries on welfare standards for fur animals since years - may fall 1 back into the situation before 2007.
