Since the ban on the biting training, it has been huge in the Austrian cynologist Association (ÖKV). Instead of looking for consensus, practices President Philipp Ita in a polemic that had even had a meeting in his own ranks.
The members of the new government responsible for animal welfare had not even gathered their name tags when they already tapped violently on the door. As a welcome gift there was a large package that nobody really wanted to open. The hairy content: the “abolition of biting and attack training in using dogs”.
Considered
With ministerial regulations we reported, Johannes Rauch (Greens) ensured that from 15 April no bit of a bite can take place against people. The newly devoted State Secretary for Animal Welfare Ulrike Königsberger-Ludwig (Spö) and the spokesperson for animal welfare for the Neos Christoph Pramhofer also complies with this innovation and sees no need for action that once breaks over again.
Lobby
However, some were surprised at what was still in this “package”. Because the Austrian dog roof club ÖKV (a private association!) Is declining the welcome change as a frontal attack and it seems to be rejecting for long -awaited changes.
The extensive tonality of a press release is even critical by some dog friends on their own Facebook page and is probably not very conducive to the necessary pension process. Representatives of the affected use of dog harbor also criticize the responsible persons of the ÖKV and reveal different insiders on phone calls to the “Kroon”.
Ran out of the helm
Because there are many of the region that you have taken too much time to present your own suggestions and also to place it in concrete terms. Above all, the scene that was not consistently had against the “black sheep” annoys and caused more transparency and circumstances.
Debated for a decade
The time would have been enough because the discussion about a ban is already 15 years old – a very long dog’s life. The breeding instructions have long changed, as well as the training itself. Because why does the dog still have to go to humans to control “resistance, self -confidence and resilience”? And why are there still exercises in which the whole person serves as a corrosive object (Guniory)?
Crooked Optics
In conversations with experts and connoisseurs of the scene it is noticeable: club taxes (these contributions are based on the number of members), expenditure compensation and other income – for example by selling documents, badges and the like – in competitions and exams, the ÖKV and the bodies of the association apply money.
It also seems particularly strange here that the training manager of the State Military Dog Center is also as an implementing officer on the board of the ÖKV. Moreover, he has a dog school private who has just been able to offer relevant training. The protest of the ranks of the armed forces over the coming prohibition now seems that personal interests can also be in the foreground.
One thing is clear: both armies and the police depend on service dogs, and they are not interrogated either. The fact that people depend on the ÖKV breeding paper is just a wrong claim. The question arises as to why the association adheres to its old structures. Instead of being part of the solution, you bend yesterday and evoke all kinds of doom scenarios.
One trusts disinformation
There is a security problem due to a bottleneck of service dogs, and that no one can be restored from rubble or avalanches in the future. It is apparently unthinkable that all these subjects can be removed from the world by new rules and find international attention with a groundbreaking role.
ÖKV against any change?
Even when there was a Berquin for dogs in Austria in 2005, it was the ÖKV who growled the fastest. He still wanted to cut his dogs and rod. Even then it was afraid that breeding in Austria would go “for the dogs”. Unthinkable today!
The train has already left while the ÖKV is still studying the timetable. In which direction the journey should go for everyone, it is clear: more animal welfare with heart and brain, because this is the only way to achieve milestones on burning subjects such as puppy trade, pain and dog training. Everyone is really invited to go this way.
