[Problems relevant to animal welfare in the control of pet shops from the viewpoint of official veterinarians]
Abstract
Results of an inquiry of all official veterinarians in Berlin are presented, concerning the situation of animal welfare in pet shops. Typical problems of keeping animals in pet shops are revealed. Many of the official veterinarians make complaints about the lack of practical guidelines, manuals or expert opinions when they are asked to give legal assessments. Existing recommendations, e.g. for cage sizes, are of a broad variety, which is underlined by some demonstrative pictures.
