Planning a new legal regulation - Brandenburg seeks to prohibit private ownership of predatory animals.
This past summer, countless people were mesmerized by the so-called "lion hunt" in Kleinmachnow. They had to laugh at their own surprise when it turned out to be simply a wild boar. Realizing that owning wild animals is not an uncommon occurrence in Brandenburg, the Head of Government, Woidke, announced during the 2nd Brandenburg Animal Protection Conference, "Dangerous animals should not be kept in private residences." This could lead to a prohibition similar to those in other federal states, ensuring the safety of people and proper care of animals.
Nico Lange, a representative from the State Animal Protection Association, noted the need to ban big cats, venomous animals, and snapping turtles. Other animals like wolves and wolf hybrids, bears, and apes are also prohibited in Berlin.
The conference started to create initial guidelines. Animal welfare officer, Anja Zinke, explained that "anyone who keeps their animal species-appropriately can keep it." If an owner can convince the veterinary office that they have the necessary knowledge and have taken the measures to avoid escape, as well as ensuring access to antivenom for snake bites, their animals will be allowed to remain.
Adoption of the dangerous animal prohibition is currently undetermined, but a new dog ordinance will take effect starting July 1, eliminating a pre-existing list of dangerous breeds. The regulatory authorities will now consider the danger posed by dogs on a case-by-case basis, for example, after a dog bite.
