Das neue Gutachten über Masthühner zeigt die Diskrepanz zwischen Haltungsverordnung und Tierschutzgesetz auf.

Unser Gutachten „Schutz für Masthühner? Gutachten zu den gesetzlichen Mindestanforderungen in Deutschland.” zeigt anhand einer großen Zahl wissenschaftlicher Studien, wie stark Masthühner unter den aktuellen Haltungsbedingungen leiden. Damit legen wir offen, wo die Haltungsverordnung aus Tierschutzsicht versagt.

Dieses Gutachten bietet alle wichtigen wissenschaftlichen Fakten, die Sie für starke Forderungen, politische Gespräche und Aufklärungskampagnen brauchen.

Wir bedanken uns bei kremer | werner Rechtsanwälte, dass wir das Gutachten frei und für alle Interessierten einfach zugänglich auf unserer Website zur Verfügung stellen können.

Zusammenfassung

Im Gutachten untersuchen wir die rechtlich erlaubten Haltungsbedingungen von Masthühnern in Deutschland und vergleichen sie mit den Anforderungen des Tierschutzgesetzes.

Schützen die gesetzlichen Vorgaben die Masthühner tatsächlich vor Schmerzen, Leiden und Schäden?

Masthühner werden in Hallen mit großen Tiergruppen, fehlender Stallstrukturierung auf feuchter und verschmutzter Einstreu gehalten. Sie leben dicht gedrängt unter künstlichem Licht. Die Gebäude sind nur mit Futter- und Tränkelinien durchzogen.

In der heutigen Intensivmast sind schwere und schnellwachsende Masthybride üblich. Sie werden nach einer kurzen Lebensspanne geschlachtet.

In unserem Gutachten beleuchten wir eine Auswahl der wichtigsten gesundheitlichen und verhaltensbezogenen Probleme, die Masthühner unter den Bedingungen der Intensivmast erleiden:

- Fußballenentzündungen

- Fersenhöckerentzündungen

- Brusthautentzündungen

- Hautverletzungen

- Beinschäden (Tibiale Dyschondroplasie und Varus-/Valgus-Deformationen)

- Erkrankungen durch vergrößerten Brustmuskel (Myopathie der tiefen Brustmuskulatur)

- Verändertes Gangbild

- Kardiovaskuläre Erkrankungen (Aszites-Syndrom und plötzlicher Herztod)

- Muskelanomalien (White Striping, Wooden Breast und Spaghetti Meat)

- Einschränkungen des arteigenen Verhaltens

Wir beschreiben detailliert das klinische Bild und die Entstehung der Probleme. Danach analysieren wir die Auswirkungen auf Gesundheit, Verhalten und Emotionen der Hühner. Am Ende von jedem Kapitel arbeiten wir heraus, inwiefern die Haltungsverordnung das Problem adressiert oder vernachlässigt.

Unser Gutachten zeigt schwarz auf weiß: Die Haltungsverordnung schützt Masthühner nicht vor massivem Leid, Erkrankungen und Schmerzen, obwohl das Tierschutzgesetz es eigentlich vorschreibt.

Das Gutachten trägt den fachlichen Titel „Vereinbarkeit der in der Tierschutz-Nutztierhaltungsverordnung (TierSchNutztV) geregelten Haltungsbedingungen für Masthühner mit höherrangigem Recht, insbesondere der §§ 2 und 2a Tierschutzgesetz (TierSchG) und des Europäischen Übereinkommens zur Nutztierhaltung”.

Da dieser Titel sehr technisch ist, haben wir uns für einen kürzeren und verständlicheren Namen entschieden.

What’s a Rich Text element?

The rich text element allows you to create and format headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, images, and video all in one place instead of having to add and format them individually. Just double-click and easily create content.

Static and dynamic content editing

A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static content, just drop it into any page and begin editing. For dynamic content, add a rich text field to any collection and then connect a rich text element to that field in the settings panel. Voila!

How to customize formatting for each rich text

Headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, figures, images, and figure captions can all be styled after a class is added to the rich text element using the "When inside of" nested selector system.
