Abstract: | In Germany and other european countries some sanctuaries for wild animals in hardship exist. For some species however the lack of available places is striking. As a consequence, not only is it impossible to help the animals, but also legislative rules are not enforceable in these cases. This situation can be remedied by a) increasing the number of places, which would require governmental measures as well as the engagement of zoological gardens, b) decreasing the necessity for the use of sanctuaries by measures, which prevent wild animals from falling into unsuitable conditions, and c) improving the availability of information about placement possibilities. If a place is found numerous points must be settled previous to the actual transfer, especially concerning the suitability of the facility and the conditions for the placement. |
