Eisenhut: “Rauch’s change in dog training is purely ideology and defamed responsible dog athletes”

“This regulation is not about the training of dogs compliant with animal welfare, but about the implementation of the Greens and their lobbyists who are contrary to the fact. The use dog sport is an internationally recognized sport that is professionally exercised by responsible dog athletes and the claim that the use dog sport increases the dog’s aggression several times. So the Greens are once again not concerned with achieving something for animal welfare, but to defamate responsible dog athletes, ”said FPÖ animal protection spokeswoman NABG today. Irene Eisenhut on the regulation of the Green Minister published yesterday in the Federal Law Gazette, according to which any use dog sport will be made impossible in the future.

“Not fact -based and completely past the reality, some lobbyists together with the Greens constantly associate bite attacks of dogs with international useful dog sport, although none of the 30,000 trained use dogs had ever been involved in such an incident for 20 years. In the training of the utility dogs, no aggression funding against people is trained, but a promotion of prey play behavior using a helper that becomes the best friend of the dog. In the brain of the utility dogs, these two behaviors are processed in fundamentally different areas that cannot be confused. But once again a green proves that he only acts ideologically and above all against any specialist and simultaneous expertise. In the last breath before the long -awaited departure of the ‘Green Upper Pelenders in the government’, Minister Rauch changed by means of ordinance without assessment – and thus without the possibility of comments from experts and affected people – quietly and quietly the animal welfare dog training in the animal welfare law and thus defamates the use dog sport and every responsible dog athlete. The statements would have expressed that this ban on the use dog port is a purely ‘green ideological’ madness, ”emphasized the freedom.

Already the amendment to the Animal Welfare Act had “pushed through on the call of lobbyists, against the expertise of experts, but above all at the expense of responsible pet owners,” said Eisenhut and further: “That was and can still be sentenced. However, the fact that the ÖVP has even enabled the Greens to live out their democracy -owned behavior shows that the People’s Party is the real problem. While the ÖVP staged itself as an ally responsible dog owner, dog breeders and dog athletes, it turned out that it has long been doing the green together-a well-known political ÖVP lubricating theater, which it will continue in the current coalition of black-red-pink losing coalition. “

However, the FPÖ will continue to stand on the side of the responsible dog athletes: “The fact that the useful dog sport should be preserved in all its facets was not only evident in the tens of thousands of signatures of our petition for the preservation of the use dog port, but was also clearly reflected in the election of the National Council. The FPÖ has so far been the only party to be used for use dog sport and we will continue to do so with all your strength and all means. We will take all the measures available to us against this purely ideology -driven madness. ”
