City Councillor Circus

The reasoning of the Speyer Councillor Helga Spitzer (CDU) this is absolutely incomprehensible. Speyer. With amazement of circus enthusiasts e. V. took society of Speyer by the 06.05.2010 Note City Council decision, which according to circus companies no longer must play in the future in Speyer, if they have certain wild species. The reasoning of the Speyer Councillor Helga Spitzer (CDU) this is incomprehensible: In the 18th and 19th centuries, it was a sensation to see wild animals in the circus. Today, this is nothing special. There are very many zoos with large enclosures where the animals can be kept relatively stress-free and humanely and observed.

Also a Wildlife Safari is no longer out of reach after is Africa.” The Association of German Zoo Directors has expressed recently and clearly on the side of the circus (wild) animals. Zoo and circus have the same goal, to bring the animals to people. Thus a concern for animals is not least awakened, whose natural Habitats continue to be destroyed. So live today already more tiger in human care in zoos and circuses as in nature. And Africa elephants are killed in targeted, because the Habitat is no longer sufficient. The reference to animal safaris, which maybe even can’t afford most circus visitors, in contrast to Spitzer, City Councillor is elitist and little consistent. And if they could? Who wanted to in times of global warming seriously recommend that millions of circus visitors embark on a flight to Africa? Circus friends e. V.

tried the company for years, to lead the discussion of wild animal husbandry in the Circus on a factual level. And there are a lot of arguments that speak for a (wild) animal husbandry in the Circus: Germany is a pioneer in terms of animal protection in the circus. Already in 1990, the Federal Ministry of food, agriculture and forestry by a panel of experts had guidelines for attitude, training and use of animals in circus companies and similar institutions”work, the are revised regularly. The minimum requirements for housing, transport, food, climate and training are described for each species. No other animal husbandry is controlled so regularly in Germany by the veterinary services as those in the circus. A representative study of the renowned GfK Marktforschung of Nuremberg has given end of September 2008 the silent majority a voice: 85,5% of the Germans (men and women from a 14 J.) like to see animals in the circus! Leaders are it predators, elephants and horses that like to see roughly two-thirds of all respondents in the circus. The rejection of the positions of so-called animal rights activists is high. “As many as 76.4% of respondents are namely think animals in the circus all right, if all requirements are met”. That is also the Speyer population this opinion, makes reading on the visitors acclaim of the animal circus that performed last year at Speyer. Therefore demands the company of circus enthusiasts e. V.: animals belong to the circus. The Policy must create the necessary conditions so that we can experience animals in the circus in the future also in Speyer! Guidelines “must be generally binding legal text. In practice, they must define a reliable standard in the circuses, pet owners and veterinarians alike can focus. “If all regulations, these guidelines, in particular” complied, the circus finally also in Germany the recognition as part of European culture and the support required for a long time by the European Parliament deserves to be through politics, the media and the public.

Municipal Council

Background: The tilt of Breege Rugen is believes that she remain discriminate against as small company compared to the Reederei Hiddensee (white fleet), as was already in early April. She complain against the harbour fee Statute of the municipality of Hiddensee. Now will the Court put itself the Hiddenseer delaying tactics no longer and threatens with the involvement of the municipal authority. By the way – the spa tax statute was famously criticized and must be rectified, but Hiddensee still seem to be the motto of ex-mayor has left meltdown: wait and drink tea “.” “Beach chair rental: because the Municipal Council with the majority of the group citizens for Hiddensee decides” the March of the 1.anderungssatzung to the beach and swimming pool regulations. This was based with the need for a new regulation relating to complaints because of the wild landing by boat in the beach areas before Neuendorf and Vitte monastery; but apparently quite incidentally also the theme of the beach chair rental was affected by the new rules.

However two community representatives of the group citizens for Hiddensee had after State of affairs”in the vote apparently did not participate, because they were probably affected by the prohibition of participation according to the municipal Constitution. In this amendment Statute, which is now might formally annul, if they disregard the prohibition of participation of individual Member arose, is among other things, that the port and Spa business can annually decide on requests for the placement of beach chairs. But how should a beach chair rental get a security for his investment, if he does not know whether and where he should still set up his beach chairs next year? According to which criteria decides actually port and Spa operations on the allocation of pitches? And most importantly: who uses it? How technically bad in this amendment to the Constitution is made perfect is also reflected in the to the landing of water vehicles, for boats up to 5 HP that should be prohibited contradictory versions, although this would be contrary to the law of the land. Even if it were to be welcomed in principle, if the beaches of Hiddensee by motorized boat tourism were spared, so this cannot be through but by basically not lawful provisions of statute, as provided by the Statute in view at the same time again certain exemptions. In addition, the scope of the Statute is not clear, because it has fixed times only the North-South dimension. Again an island statutes, with a majority of the group citizens for Hiddensee “, decided the Court and municipal legal supervision may be have to deal with. “By the way some exhilarating has this amendment to the Constitution: the community demand now that the beach chair rental a friendly appearance” by statute! Apart from the fact that it is a business matter of course is that something in a statute has nothing to actually search for who should assess this friendly occurrence in case of doubt and check – perhaps the well-known boss of island information for charm and friendliness?

Thoughts About The World

be. “” If that BRING (REF. thoughts about the world, part 1 “”) families “and that BRING kindergartens” their tasks do well, then there will be more and more humble, respectful, initiative, curious and friendly people. New to more people with the desire to learn and particularly hidden to meet – with interest in the facts, with curiosity and quest for understanding (according to the why?”), not hang at the first available solution to stay. Eliminate the real causes of the problems. And this knowledge will be increasingly necessary to the effectiveness, increasing the efficiency of machines, equipment and systems in agriculture, industry, cities and municipalities and households, to allow good living conditions with the limited resources of our planet a growing population. And modesty and respect make this knowledge significantly more valuable. Knowledge with this framework (education) is the basis to be in a complex world to be able to find your way and thus a way to more justice.

And it needs it urgently, in our (often intractable human) unjust world. And we need people with initiative and dedication, to make our world always and always a bit better for individuals, in the family, in the municipalities, in the world of work, the economy, on the offices and authorities, in politics and on all places in this world. All that will be necessary. But it not the solution to the enormous problems of our day: there must be much more be done to the destruction of nature, the pollution of the environment and the overexploitation of resources, terror and the political unrest, the animal cruelty, corruption in business and in politics, the unfairness and injustice and the inefficiency of the bureaucracy more effectively to combat poverty and hunger in the world, now. It must be done more to meet the responsibility for the following generation, the nonsensical transports of a misguided Globalization to curb, to prevent the huge dimensions of the financial speculation, making the necessary adjustments to the demographic changes in society, to put effective measures against the diseases of civilization and effectively carry out disaster preparedness and disaster management. All these problems are mainly man-made and it is in the minds and in the hands of the people to solve these problems. Leaders, values they fix their priorities. Tackle it.
