Sumario: | The keeping of unconventional companion animals represents a special area of animal husbandry. While formerly reserved for zoological institutions, nowadays more and more unconventional companion animals can be found in the care of private owners. Due to the special nature and requirements of these animals, there are people who demand legal restrictions of these husbandries. One point often mentioned in this regard is the risks of zoonoses, which are said to be higher than with classical companion animals. Considering this argument, a conflict emerges between private rights of companion animal owners and the interests of public safety. With the help of a balancing of interests, this conflict can be examined more closely and an initial assessment of the justification for restrictions can be made. |
