animal rights activists fight for street cats

The sad fate of the orphaned cats in Frankendorf mobilized the animal rights activists. After the discovery of the first dead cat on a scrap place, they discovered other sick and malnourished animals. But the real problem was on a nearby property where a family lives in silence and obviously has a great love for the cats. Nevertheless, the Situation had come out of control and the animal rights activists had to act.

appeal to reason and compassion

The animal rights activists do everything they can to capture the stray cats, neuter them and bring them back into their surroundings. But the family, which is suspected as the owner of the animals, refuses to communicate and access to the property. This leads to an unfortunate situation in which the veterinary office cannot intervene without concrete suspicions.

requirement for structured animal protection

The animal rights activists have now directed their claims to district administrator Christiane Schmidt-Rose and requested a cat protection regulation. They believe that a comprehensive legal regulation is necessary to alleviate the suffering of stray cats in the long term. But it remains to be seen whether the authorities can meet this appeal.
