| Letter to Email to Germany Cross-posted with permission from Ursula Schmidt-Jordan: Dear Everyone, Here is a letter that you can copy and send to: bundeskanzler@bundeskanzler.de In the subject line: Hundeverordung! (Letter Begin - Copy below) Sehr verehrte Damen, sehr geehrte Herren, solch ein grossen Problem bleibt nun ja nicht nur in Deutschland verborgen. Mit meiner, dieser Nachricht will ich Ihnen mitteilen dass das Problem nun auch schon Iinternationale Ausweitung erreicht hat und dass man sich auch ueber die Grenzen Deutschlands hinaus wirklich grosse Sorgen macht. Kurzum, man ist entsetzt ueber was da so angeht mit der beforstehenden, in manchen Bundeslaendern bereits ausgeuebten Hundeverordnung. Es kann doch nicht Ihr ernst sein solch eine Hundeverordung durchgehen zu lassen? Sie koennen doch nicht die Hunde zur Verantwortung ziehen wo doch wirklich die Hundebesitzer zur Verantwortung zu ziehen sind. Jeder Hund kann nur so gut wie sein Besitzer sein, und auch ein Dackel oder Chihuahua kann scharf gemacht werden und beachtliche Wunden verursachen wenn es zum Biss kommt. Sie stimmen mir wohl auch zu das da nicht zuletzt auch auf wirtschaftlicher Ebene viel in Betracht zu ziehen ist?!? Aus diesem und anderen, in dieser Nachricht genannten Gruenden moechte ich Sie bitten alles in Ihrer Macht stehende zu unternehmen und vielleicht einen Hundefuehrerschein in Betracht ziehen und auf keinen Fall die Hunde (gleich welcher Rasse) zur Verantwortung zu ziehen. Immerhin sind es doch die deutschen Hunderassen wie der Deutsche Rottweiler, der Deutsche Schaeferhund, der Deutsche Riesenschnauzer, der Deutsche Boxer, der Deutsche Doberman, die Deutsche Dogge und andere, sowie der schon ueber 100 Jahre alte Deutsche Schutzhundesport die uns auch hier im Ausland immerwieder maechtig Stolz auf Deutschland und dessen Hunderassen machen. Was waere wenn diese Rassen und der Deutsche Schutzhundesport nicht mehr waeren!?! Max von Stephanitz wuerde sich im Grabe umdrehen - unvorstellbar, einfach unvorstellbar!!! Hochachtungsvoll, Ihr Internationaler Hundefreund, (Letter End - sign with your name and e-mail address) Although I am too lazy to translate it right now, please trust me it's a good letter and it' properly written and addressed to the Bundeskanzleramt in Berlin.

| The e-mail is SOMETHING LIKE this. Ladies and Gentlemen, Such a big problem will not be kept secret in Germany. Whit this message I want to tell you, that the problem soon will be International spread and people outside Germany are very sad. In short: People are horrified what is going on in many of the German Bundes States concerning dog laws. You can’t be serious, pass such laws. You can’t make the dogs responsible. It is the owner’s responsibility. No dog can be better that it’s owner and also a dachshund and a Chihuahua can be sharp and do considerable injury if it bites. (The next section is something about financial, I am not sure I understand this, so I wont translate this.) Everything is in your power… to do something, may be consider a dog owner license, there in no way make the dogs responsible, regardless breed. In spite of all, it is the German Breeds as Rottweiler, GSD, Riesenschnauzer, Boxer, Doberman, and Dogge etc. Outside Germany, people are very proud of the 100 years old German breeds and dog sport. What will happen when these breeds and the German dog sport disappear? Max von Stephanitz would turn in his grave. Incomprehensible – simply incomprehensible. International dog friends. |

| Thank you Damp! Here's another translation provided by Ursula Schmidt-Jordan, who wrote the letter originally: Please keep in mind that this is only a translation for you and should not be send in this version. "Dear Sir/Madam: It is impossible for a problem as big as this to remain hidden within the borders of Germany. With this, my letter I am indicating to you that the Breed Specific Legislation/Dog Ordinance problem has reached international dimensions and that the world beyond the German boarders is very much concerned as to what is going on in Germany. In short, one is outraged and concerned! Not yet country wide - but in several local regions of Germany already enacted this dog ordinance cannot be allowed and has to be vetoed. No one can make a dog responsible where only its owner can and has to be made responsible! Any dog can only be as good as his owner! Even a Dachshund or a Chihuahua can cause considerable wounds when trained to bite! You will most likely agree with me that this law if not vetoed in time could also cause considerable economic problems. For this and other reasons as specified in this letter, may I ask you to undertake all that is in your power and rather consider a dog handler license for the responsible owner, and under no circumstances a breed banning (no matter what breed). After all it is the German dog breeds such as the Rottweiler, the German Shepherd, the Giant Schnauzer, the Boxer, the Doberman and many other German dog breeds as well as the Schutzhundesport, founded more than 100 years ago that makes even us foreigners abroad proud of Germany, its dog breeds and its dog-sport. What would be if these breeds and the German Schutzhundsport would no longer be!?! Max von Stephanitz would turn in his grave - it's inconceivable, it's simply inconceivable!!! Respectfully, your international dog friend," Nancy ------------------ von Dorow Rottweilers |

| Sent mine... I went to freetranslation.com and had some of my own words translated and even included a translation of my signature file. I hope it came out right. Maybe one of our German friends can help me out here. English: I am frightened by what I hear is happening in Germany. As the homeland of my father and before him, and as the homeland of my husband's grandfather and those before him, can this be so? How can a country who loves its dogs so much and a country we Rottweiler owners in the United States strive to model ourselves after, allow this to happen. Dogs are individuals, just like people, and the individuals that own these dogs and their irresponsibility are ruining EVERYTHING!!! How can you hold a dog responsible for it's owners actions or irresponsibility? Punishing a dog for its owners actions will not correct the problems of the owner, and the owners problems with the law. German: Ich werde, von was ich höre, in Deutschland erschrocken geschieht. Als das Heimatland meines Vaters und bevor ihn, und als das Heimatland der Großvater meines des Ehemanns und kann die bevor ihn, dies so sein? Können Sie wie ein Land, das liebt seine Hunde damit viel und ein Land die wir Rottweiler Eigentümer in den Vereinigten Staaten zu Modell uns nach streben, erlauben Sie dies zu geschieht. Hunde sind Individuen, gleich wie Leute, und die Individuen, die diese Hunde und ihre Unverantwortlichkeit besitzen, vernichten ALLES!! Wie können Sie einen Hund der verantwortlich ist für es Eigentümer Handlungen oder Unverantwortlichkeit halten ist? Bestrafung eines Hunds für seine Eigentümer werden Handlungen die Probleme des Eigentümers, und die Eigentümer Probleme mit dem Gesetz nicht korrigieren. Dieses wissen das wir: die Erde gehört Mann, Mann der Erde nicht gehört. Alle Dinge werden wie das Blut verbunden, das uns alle vereint. Mann hat das Gewebe des Lebens, er bloß ein strand darin nicht gewebt ist. Was auch immer er zum Gewebe macht, macht er zu sich selbst. -Oberst Seattle ------------------ This we know: the earth does not belong to man, man belongs to the earth. All things are connected like the blood that unites us all. Man did not weave the web of life, he is merely a strand in it. Whatever he does to the web, he does to himself. - Chief Seattle |
