epilepsy, chronic respiratory, autoimmune diseases, congenital deafness, ... the list of diseases that increase by over breeding in purebred dogs is always more frightening long. Even longer and more alarming, however, is the suffering, the need to make a cripple bred dogs. The Dortmund appeal that calls for what was supposed to be self-evident, namely that instead of highly questionable "beauty ideals" should finally be the health of the dogs primary breeding goal, has now found some supporters.
Around 3,400 signatures have been on the website www.dortmund-appell.de met. That sounds like a lot. Considering, however, that the appeal as early as 1 Dortmund July launch in 2009 and live in Germany about 5.3 million dogs, of which suffers a large part of cultured, "race-related illnesses" are, 3,400 signatures have alarmingly little.
How are dog-friendly portals for dog lovers, and how powerful is the VDH?
When Christopher Young, who initiated the appeal Dortmund and author of the highly recommended educational book " Black Book Dog "asked me in June 2009 as one of the" initial supporters "to support Dortmund's appeal and help make the action known, he warned me." There is a long hard road will be, which we must be aware " , I wrote Christoph Jung then of course I said my help anyway -... and was shortly afterwards to feel already fierce headwind in various Internet forums where I was a longtime member, I posted the link to the Dortmunder appeal And it took only a few minutes, as was my account with "Dhd24 / Your Wildlife" locked. Since I have received no clear explanation as to why my account has been closed for many years, I can suspect the only reason: Apparently the issue was too controversial, or you wanted to be with the VDH and the dog dealers who advertise there, did not forfeit
However, other forums and deleted the reference to dog websites. Dortmund the appeal "a precaution" again. VDH is so powerful that one can point to (supposedly independent) "Forum for dog lovers" not even on a petition against torture breeding? And - should the health of our dogs any dog lover at heart?

The next "slap" in this case I received from the animal rights group PETA, which I in other things many times very helpful (eg here ) had. Accordingly, hopefully I therefore asked the PETA to appeal their signature to the Dortmund and possibly to put a link to it. Both were rejected. Reason: PETA is in principle against animal breeding, since one could not only speak out against torture breeding. Because otherwise I have very great respect for the work of PETA, I was not at this for me understandable rejection together with the "justification" disappointed but felt. Such moralizing I had not expected and I can not understand even the best intentions. Despite all this, we are trying to turn left and continue to be signed to collect for the appeal Dortmund. Constant dripping ... you know: o)
TV TIP: Star TV - "Pure race and yet crippled - Business with sick dogs"
all the more welcome that with Star TV finally takes up a program with good ratings this important issue.
