Mehr oder weniger Schutz für "Masthühner"?

Widersprüchlicher könnte die Bewertung des Beschlusses der EU-Agrarminister über eine Richtlinie für Mindestvorschriften zum Schutz von "Masthühnern" nicht sein. Der deutsche Bundesminister für Ernährung, Landwirtschaft und Verbraucherschutz, Horst Seehofer, sprach von einem großen Erfolg für die tiergerechtere Haltung von Masthühnern. "Ich freue mich besonders über diese Einigung. Sie zeigt, dass in allen europäischen Mitgliedstaaten der große Wille besteht, beim Tierschutz voranzukommen. Dies entspricht ganz klar dem, was die Verbraucher europaweit wollen", so Seehofer. Ganz anders lautet der Kommentar des Bundesverbandes Menschen für Tierrechte: In deutschen Ställen dürften dadurch "Enge und Tierquälerei noch verstärkt werden". Anstelle von bislang rund 25 dürften künftig etwa 30 Hühner auf einem Quadratmeter gehalten werden. Der Verband wirft der Regierung vor, diese "massiv tierquälerische Richtlinie" unter deutscher Ratspräsidentschaft zum Abschluss gebracht zu haben.

Researchers with the conservation group Earthwatch found that grey whales are arriving malnourished at their breeding grounds off the Mexican coast. Scientists are not sure whether the current decline is climate-related or part of a natural predator-prey cycle.
