Dogs, cats, pigs, sheep, goats - no matter which animal; they were all given a voice again on Saturday. The police were also out in force for the third Animal Welfare Day.

In addition to the Tiko animal shelter, the Gut Aiderbichl sanctuary and the Melcherhof, the Association Against Animal Factories (VGT), the Samaritans, the K9 Pro Search Dog Squadron, "Findmyfriend", as well as the Katzencafé, Hundejause, Therapiehunde Kärnten and many more were also represented.

The basic training for the four-legged police dogs takes two years, and the audience was enthusiastic.
