Wild animals need peace - leash obligation for dogs, bid and cutting bans in the garden
The city of Griesheim points out that the so-called breeding and setting time for wild animals has applied since March 1st to July 15th. In this particularly sensitive phase, special protection specifications apply in the field area and in green areas - to protect birds, deer, rabbits and other wild animals.
Do not touch young wildlife - leash obligation applies everywhere
Many wild animals give birth to their offspring during this time or raise him. Rehears or rabbits often leave their boys on the edge of the field or in meadows, while birds - including endangered floor breeders such as skylarks, vineyards or consecration - build their clutch directly on the floor. Any disorder can be fatal to the offspring.
The city of Griesheim therefore asks all citizens:
- Dogs always lead on a leash - regardless of size, breed or behavior.
- Do not leave official paths , not even on foot or by bike.
- Do not touch young animals , even if they appear helpless - their parents are mostly nearby.
Violations are offense
Violations of these requirements are not a trivial. They represent an administrative offense and can be punished with a fine. The protection of animals in their reproduction time has priority - sensitive disorders can arise from leaving the paths alone.
Also affected gardens: note cutting bans
The breeding season also affects your own property. From March 1 to September 30th, the radical cutting or clearing of hedges, shrubs and trees is generally prohibited according to the Federal Nature Conservation Act. Nursing and shape cuts, on the other hand, are allowed if they are carried out gently and do not endanger tierester.
Note on environmental protection
In addition, the city of Griesheim appeals to all dog -sitting ends, in the fields and meadows: there too grown food - dog droppings and garbage endanger people, animals and the environment alike.
