Too few license plates – the government remains inactive when it comes to animal cruelty

Date:

The summit with the retail giants at Minister Rauch ended in disappointment. After all, the attitude marker is fixed.

In the run-up to the meeting with the bosses of the four retail giants (Spar, Rewe, Lidl, Hofer), which was announced by the responsible minister Johannes Rauch, they had already spoken out strongly in favor of labeling the animals. This should be ready by the end of 2022.

That is far too little for the grocer Billa. “The current industrial solution may only be a small step, but it does not contribute to the urgently needed improvements in livestock farming,” explains Tanja Dietrich-Hübner, the group’s sustainability expert. She argues, among other things, for a ban on fully slatted floors, coupled with damping measures for affected farmers.

“Cosmetic Only”
The SPÖ animal protection expert Dietmar Keck also criticizes smoke, but also the government’s animal protection law: “The agreement is only cosmetic and does not change the situation in which pigs sometimes have to go through hell!” The green smoke also gets its fat from the Farmers’ Union President Georg Strasser: “The minister invited the supermarket chains to Vienna, but not the farmers. Animal welfare is important to them, but the minimum is to involve them.”

Our now all the more combative crown is also outraged” – animal welfare chief Maggie Entenfellner: “If Minister Rauch now calls on everyone to see animals as living beings and not as a product, then he must finally put an end to the horrific animal suffering.”
