Animal rights activists have discovered incredible conditions in the keeping of Fiaker horses.
Salzburg. The horse lady “Grace”, whose name is found several times in the insults of the Fiaker rider at the stand, is one of several Salzburg Fiaker horses that guide tourists through the old town – in July she was in service for 16 of 24 days, which according to the association against animal husbandry (VGT) were deprived of several days of compulsory rest. Additionally, a (mobile) video leaked to animal rights activists, showing how Fiaker not only sprinkled hot AKS noodles on plates in September (so that “Grace” wouldn’t munch on it when you were standing still), but also the cream, the very spicy one Contains chilli, lubricates in the mouth.
The pain seems to burn
Capsaicin. Prof. Dr. Rudolf Winkelmayer, veterinarian and former official veterinarian, explains the cruelty to animals: “When used correctly, AKS paste protects the horse from injuries caused by ingesting or biting parts of the material. In no case should it be rubbed on any part of the horse’s body, as the paste also contains capsaicin, which can cause lasting pain that appears to burn.
Georg Prinz, VGT activist: “The accident must lead to consequences immediately. The contract between the city and the fiakers should ideally not be extended at all in 2023 “.
