openPetitionFree medical care for rescued animals in shelters!
To: Federal Ministry of Social Affairs, Health, Care and Consumer Protection Subject: Introduction of State-Funded Pro Bono Veterinary Care for Rescued Animals Providing care for rescued animals poses enormous financial challenges for animal shelters and similar organizations in Austria. Although many veterinarians already provide their services on a voluntary basis, this is not sufficient to meet the steadily growing demand. In many cases, urgently needed medical treatments have to be postponed or even forgone due to a lack of financial resources, unnecessarily prolonging the suffering of the animals.

openPetitionAnimal Rights in Austria – No More Exceptions and Systematic Animal Suffering
Justification: More than 80 million animals die every year in Austria’s industrial agriculture. Around 40% of the meat produced is not consumed but instead discarded. Austria permits religious slaughter without prior stunning under Section 32 of the Animal Welfare Act (TSchG). Around 220,000 animals are used for animal testing each year (BMSGPK, 2022). Conclusion: The current Animal Welfare Act does not provide effective protection for animals. We therefore call for fundamental reform.
