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.

Here's a 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
