Was bedeutet eigentlich Tierschutz im Alltag – und was, wenn Tierliebe ins Gegenteil umschlägt? In dieser Folge sprechen wir mit Julia Stubenbord, der Landestierschutzbeauftragten von Baden-Württemberg, über das hochaktuelle und emotional aufgeladene Thema Qualzucht.

Gemeinsam gehen wir unter anderem folgenden Fragen auf den Grund:

• Was genau versteht man unter „Qualzucht“ – und betrifft das nur Hunde mit kurzer Schnauze?
• Welche Tierarten sind besonders betroffen, welche werden oft übersehen?
• Welche Leiden erleben diese Tiere täglich – körperlich wie auch sozial?
• Warum werden solche Tiere überhaupt gezüchtet – und wer trägt Verantwortung?
• Welche Rolle spielen Social Media, Werbung und Influencer:innen in der Popularisierung dieser Rassen?
• Was sagt das deutsche Tierschutzgesetz zu Qualzuchten – und wie gut wird das tatsächlich durchgesetzt?

Außerdem werfen wir einen Blick in die tierärztliche Praxis, sprechen über ethische Dilemmata, Aufklärungsinitiativen und den aktuellen Stand im tiermedizinischen Studium. Julia Stubenborn teilt dabei nicht nur ihre fachliche Expertise, sondern auch ihre ganz persönliche Haltung zu einem Thema, das dringend mehr Aufmerksamkeit verdient.

Jetzt reinhören – für mehr Tierschutz, Aufklärung und einen kritischen Blick hinter Zuchtstandards!

What happens in the Sea Turtle Rescue Centre to ensure individual animal welfare during rehabilitation and release? And, just as importantly, how can you get involved and design your next vacation sea turtle friendly? Our guests are Eirini Kasimati (Biologist and Rehabilitation & Welfare Officer for ARCHELON) and Anna Karatsori (Biologist and Public Awareness Officer for ARCHELON).

In this thought-provoking episode, we sit down with pioneer in animal welfare science and ethics Clive Phillips to explore the key themes of his latest book and reflect on the evolving relationship between humans and animals. Drawing on decades of research and advocacy, Phillips shares the ethical questions that lie closest to his heart and the insights that emerged during the writing process.

Together, we unpack critical questions: What aspects of the human-animal relationship are most urgent to address today? Should we draw ethical distinctions between pets, farm animals, and wildlife? Can animals themselves be cruel—and if so, how does it compare to human cruelty? Do animals experience something akin to religion? Are humans unique within the animal kingdom?

Phillips also offers his perspective on global shifts in animal ethics, regional differences, and the progress he has witnessed over the course of his career. Looking to the future, we discuss the biggest challenges for animal welfare and what it might take to achieve a more ethical coexistence between humans and animals.

Whether you’re new to the field or deeply engaged in animal ethics, this episode invites you to reflect, question, and imagine new possibilities.
