Apfelschnecken dürfen nicht mehr in Umlauf gebracht werden

Wiesbaden - Eine erneute Anfrage des Zentralverbands Zoologischer Fachbetriebe e.V. (ZZF) beim Pflanzenschutzreferat des Bundeslandwirtschaftsministeriums hat ergeben, dass bereits nach derzeitiger Rechtslage die Verbreitung von Apfelschnecken der Gattung Pomacea verboten ist.

Die Tiere dürfen weder verkauft noch verschenkt werden. Ein bereits vorliegender Verordnungsentwurf soll um entsprechende Bestimmungen ergänzt und in Kürze dem Bundesrat zur Beschlussfassung vorgelegt werden. Diese Verordnung wird dann der im Tierschutzgesetz geforderte „vernünftige Grund“ für das Töten aller Exemplare der fraglichen Arten sein, die beim jeweiligen Halter nicht mehr tierschutzgerecht gehalten werden können. Sobald diese Verordnung in Kraft getreten sein wird, dürfen und müssen die Schnecken getötet werden.

Aufgrund tierschutzethischer Erwägungen empfiehlt der ZZF, die Vermehrung der fraglichen Arten ab sofort einzuschränken oder möglichst ganz zu unterbinden. Wegen der besonderen Fortpflanzungsbiologie von Schnecken wird das nur möglich sein, indem die Schnecken einzeln auf verschiedene Aquarien verteilt werden. Wo das machbar ist, sollte dies unverzüglich umgesetzt werden.

PUSH messages from JBL

What are PUSH messages? As part of the W3C standard, web notifications define an API for end-user notifications that are sent to the user's desktop and/or mobile devices via the browser. Notifications appear on the end devices as they are familiar to the end user from apps installed on the device (e.g. emails). Notifications appear on the end user’s device, just like an app (e.g. for emails) installed on the device.

These notifications enable a website operator to contact its users whenever they have a browser open - it doesn’t matter whether the user is currently visiting the website or not.

To be able to send web push notifications, all you need is a website with a web push code installed. This allows brands without apps to take advantage of many of the benefits of push notifications (personalised real-time communications at just the right moment).

Web notifications are part of the W3C standard and define an API for end user notifications. A notification makes it possible to inform the user about an event, such as a new blog post, outside the context of a website.

JBL GmbH & Co. KG provides this service free of charge, and it is easy to activate or deactivate.
