Die Strassenhundekrise

Rund um Hund macht eine Serie!

Und zwar zum Thema Strassenhunde. In dieser Serie werden Zahlen und Fakten genannt, es werden von den Eindrücken aus Rumänien berichtet und einiges mehr. Eine Serie über Strassenhunde also - von A bis Z.

In dieser ersten Folge der Serie, "Die Strassenhundekrise", stelle ich erstmal die Zahlen und Fakten vor. Wie viele Strassenhunde gibt es in Europa? Was tun die Länder gegen die zunehmende Anzahl von Strassenhunden, was sind ihre Strategien? Und warum wird überhaupt von einer Krise gesprochen, von der Wissenschaft aber auch von der UNO? All diesen Fragen gehe ich in dieser Folge nach.
