| Text proposed by the Commission | Amendment |
|---|---|
| (24) Well trained and skilled staff are essential for improving the welfare conditions of animals. Competencies in animal welfare require knowledge of the basic behavioural patterns and needs of the species concerned. Animal caretakers should have the competencies in animal welfare relevant to their tasks and the animals they handle, in order to avoid inflicting pain, distress and suffering on dogs and cats. | (24) The Distress and suffering of dogs and cats during training activities by untrained or poorly educated handlers can have detrimental effects on the behavioural patterns of dogs and cats, with possible risks to human health and safety and the environment. Therefore, well trained and skilled staff are essential for improving the welfare conditions of animals, including when breeding, keeping and handling dogs intended for military, police and customs services. Competencies in animal welfare require knowledge of the basic behavioural patterns and needs of the species concerned. Animal caretakers should have the competencies in animal welfare relevant to their tasks and the animals they handle, in order to avoid inflicting pain, distress and suffering on dogs and cats. Animal caretakers and relevant authorities, including government agencies should regularly update their competences through training programmes promoting training methods such as ‘operant conditioning’, prioritising positive reinforcement, instead of methods based on punishment. |
| Text proposed by the Commission | Amendment |
|---|---|
| Considering the administrative burden of animal shelters and organisations responsible for the management of populations of stray dogs and cats in addition to the existing economic constraints, Member States may explore the capabilities of streamlining resources recovered from infringements of this Regulation to support and cover the administrative and operational costs of shelters and organisations responsible for the management of stray populations of dogs or cats. |
