The German Bundestag should resolve ... animal welfare in the constitution
Grounds
Only by laws to protect animals, the actual situation will improve sustainable. Awareness raising among the population afford to put pressure on the legislature - that's our strategy!
Alone in the Federal Republic of Germany a year fall around 450 million "livestock" the consumer behavior of the citizens to the victim. It contains these alarming number do not even fish, crustaceans and molluscs, as they are expected only in tonnes. Every year millions of animals for slaughter are transported thousands of miles back and across Europe, where many animals do not survive transport to the slaughterhouse.
In addition suffering and dying animals - in 2007 were there 2.5 million - in the laboratories of the pharmaceutical and chemical companies, in our universities and research institutions as an anatomical study objects budding physicians / interior or for a questionable basic research, and also in the weapons industry as Test objects of future murder weapons.
In addition, the fashion demands of the processing of fur, leather and wool a heavy toll on wildlife. Even hunting, in our country for a long time no longer serves on vital food supply, but rather as questionable, pseudo sports leisure activity or at best care of an ancient tradition to be interpreted, costs per year, about 5 million wild animals live.
According to scientific studies, by 2050 one in four species could be extinct, because the rigorous nature and wildlife exploitation caused considerable negative secondary effects. The extremely high population density of "livestock" and the over-fertilized agricultural land in Germany already contribute almost as much to global warming as the traffic. By climate warming has the global extinction of animal and plant species, and leads to a dramatic acceleration of the remaining species often to massive suffering and her death, as their livelihoods were destroyed in the fragile ecosystem Earth.
All of this happens unless absolutely necessary, despite over a large range of delicious, healthy plant foods, despite a large number of alternative test methods, despite the presence of good synthetic and vegetable fabrics, Webpelze and imitation leather, and although the world's resources of people used responsibly and without harm causation could be.
On the long road to recognition of the rights of animals as a first step has its own animal welfare article in the constitution so that can be weighed in doubt between mutually conflicting legal interests. The German Animal Protection Act after the amendment must be fundamentally reformed.
We demand: Consistent animal welfare in the constitution grounds.
We demand an abolition of the mass keeping of pets, abolition of the meat industry subsidies., stop Animal testing, ban of the position of queues, crocodiles, monkeys, tigers and all threatened animals as domestic animals. No wild animals in the circus, closing the zoos and release animals to sanctuaries!!
