German and European animal protection laws address "torture-breeding" and its impact on animal well-being. This study examines genetic characteristics leading to pains and injuries in dogs, cats, and birds.

Area of Science:

  • Veterinary Medicine
  • Animal Law
  • Genetics

Context:

  • Legal frameworks like the German Animal Protection Law (section 11b) and the European Agreement for Protection of Domestic Animals address animal welfare.
  • Specific terms such as 'torture-breeding', 'genetic characteristics', 'well-being', 'soundness', 'pains', 'injuries', and 'specific use' are central to these regulations.

Purpose:

  • To analyze and comment on the legal definitions and implications of 'torture-breeding' under German and European animal protection laws.
  • To provide concrete examples of breeding practices that lead to animal suffering and are considered illegal.

Summary:

  • The study discusses how certain genetic traits in domestic animals, often resulting from selective breeding, can cause significant pain and compromise well-being.
  • Examples of 'torture-breeding' are detailed, including the Merle factor, brachycephaly, and atrichosis in dogs; the Manx factor, W-gene, and folded ears in cats; and various abnormalities in birds like tuffs, ear-drops, taillessness, and hypertrophied bill-warts.

Impact:

  • Raises awareness among breeders, veterinarians, and the public about genetic conditions causing animal suffering.
  • Informs legal and ethical discussions on animal welfare and the regulation of selective breeding practices.
  • Contributes to the enforcement of animal protection laws by identifying specific breeding-related issues.
