Hello friends of Lucky Dogs. I have an important request of you. We have recently become aware of a petition which has been submitted suggesting stronger regulation and regular inspections of animal care facilities. We fully support this petition and efforts being made elsewhere to strengthen the regulation, oversight, and responsible growth of animal care businesses in Luxembourg.
Here is a link to the petition: https://www.petitiounen.lu/en/sign/3325?cHash=a7a0f9e6c18b3aaaf5184b3ad63f20a1
The petition is written in Luxembourgish. My wife helped me in creating this post by translating the petition text into English:
-----------------------------------------------
Title: Stricter and, above all, regular inspections of animal boarding facilities and the obligation by law to enter oneself on a list approved and controlled by the state.
Purpose of the petition: The aim of this petition is to regularly inspect animal boarding facilities without prior notice (appointment) at least twice a year. Furthermore, we urge only animal boarding facilities approved by the state be allowed to offer such a service and are held accountable in the event of illegal violations.
Reasons for the petition: The motivation of this petition is to ensure the safety of the animals through regular and unannounced inspections by a state authority.
-----------------------------------------------
As I understand it, the petition has to receive 4500 signatures in order to be successful. And if successful, it will be put in front of the Luxembourgish Parliament for debate and consideration. The petition currently has only 7% (roughly 300) of the 4500 signatures required. The deadline to sign the petition is 07-Nov-2024 at 23:59.
In order to sign this petition, you do not have to be a citizen or even a resident of Luxembourg. You must only have a social security number (i.e.- you live or work in Luxembourg) and must be at least 15 years of age.
Thank you for reading. Kind regards.
