Stefan click stein is an expert in the dog trade he came across this little maltese on the internet and informed the police for over 5 years now the volunteer Animal Welfare arrest has been rescuing dogs from smugglers. And if you have the guns this is another typical the gulf the dogs presented by itself on a soap and as bad i have a mission in the water respectable dog breeder would never present his dog like that in the 500. 00 euro price is way too cheap from a regular breeder it would cost from 121200 euros if the one told intelligence level not all. On these operations cliff stein always works with the decoys a fake buyer. His face is now too well known among the dog to yourself not long after so a friend is helping out on this one the. A home very important ask of the dog really comes from serbia youve seen it before youve already done this many times the betting district is a hotbed of the illegal dog trade thats another clue we see that here all the time i hope it isnt somebody we already know. Me to but well handle it. Im a. Hunch was right on the buyers turn out to be illegal dog dealers with long records theyre placed under arrest. Im. Right there.

Hole until hes got a bad eye infection time and the ears are totally sore. They washed him today didnt they that most of us left mom yes they did he smells like dog shampoo. And remove the dealers always do that so the dogs will smell and look better for the buyers. The dog is probably 8. 00 to 10. 00 weeks old we shouldnt even be in germany and up for sale here because of. Puppies may only be exported to other e. Q. Member states after 15 weeks of age before that they have to get all required vaccinations for their own health and to keep from spreading diseases possible and the next day we meet stefan in a cafe in berlin he didnt want to be filmed at home vengeful smugglers have attacked him many times and even seriously injured him. And were here but youre kind of if you look through classifieds youll find over 16000 ads for dogs for sale. And thats just on e bay just on e bay. There are various other sites that also after ties pets for sale in this are going out and if you include all of europe live in the grown son who are millions of dogs are sold every year the profit margin is very wide because the dogs can be bought in Eastern Europe very cheap and then sold for 3 to 4 times as much here. And id say 8 out of 10 ads on e bay classifieds are from disreputable dealers trading in dogs illegally covered 100. 00. 1 of the figures from the german Animal Welfare association will show that most of the puppies export it illegally from Eastern Europe are taken to germany the main country of origin for the smugglers is romania they are the dog smugglers employ another scam they smuggle stray dogs instead of pedigree canines to germany and often through dubious Animal Welfare organizations or private individuals but the us were blue dog it may sound improbable can you make money with stray dogs hundreds of thousands live in the streets i can collect them from there or from Animal Shelters they even get them for free in germany theyd have to pay a token charge they sell them. Here and cash in big on peoples compassion. Animal welfare arrests estimate that europes illegal dog trade now brings in billions of euros almost as much as the narcotics trade course that isnt always loans to us and some of those guns on the foreign Animal Protection agencies are very different from anyone acting against them or exposing their illegal doings is persecuted stalked and slandered from there so people know the smugglers will bring a mountain of trouble down on that out of. Romania. Here stray dogs are a major problem hardly anyone looks after them and theyre either put to sleep or smuggled to germany diseased and abused. Or where youre from are yes kirkuk takes on the smugglers at the opposite end of the criminal network he files complaints on lobbies to have the laws changed hes also experienced physical attacks by the smugglers. And i think that. Over time he became ever more involved in the work eventually quitting his job and opening an Animal Shelter for the rescued dogs he takes the badly injured ones home to care for them personally. Among them is the sheep dog corbucci his previous owner chopped off all his paws with a hatchet after the starving dog killed and ate a chicken the cruel owner was only penalize with a fine. People who are making more. Thank you. Smugglers tossed costy into a garbage can when Animal Welfare is to expose them but now costy is master of the house. Pictures of neglected dogs can also be turned into money self professed Animal Welfare assistance in germany Work Together with middlemen in romania to collect massive donations on the internet most of them over facebook they set a vast money machine in motion. Flooding all of them live with the rescue was right i need money for the transport and the germans italians and english stop folk its over. Pretty soon the smugglers get a few 1000 euros together or they transport the dogs to a shelter where they start the search for more sponsors. The same ones whove already donated send even more money then comes the next stage money allegedly needed for vaccinations passes and so on. So they rake in even more probably 2225000 euros for 30 to 40 dogs. Thats quite a sum and a business that both police and in their herd and observers are acquainted with officially about 5000 stray dogs are taken out of romania across the hungary and border daily the true figure may be far higher. E. U. Regulations require a chip implanted in every export a dog the data are entered into the e. U. Data bank system allowing for verification of previous owners and vaccinations corrupt veterinarians willing to issue false papers are vital to the dog smugglers a veterinarian from romania has agreed to talk about the corrupt system she asks to remain anonymous. She says ive gotten several requests to issue traces certification without actually having seen the animals they basically wanted to give me a list of chips so that i provide passports papers and traces in return for cash i refused to accept those offers the vaccinations are also fake they have spread disease all over europe. Stephan clip stein is acquainted with this practice having worked for some time in an Animal Shelter now he has an office job and spends most of his free time helping animals his interest goes back to his childhood days. I found my calling in combating these dealers and taking action to stop with them of course its nice to work at a shelter but these animals keep showing up no fundamental changes are made because people arent informed and dont push the government to make those changes and to put it the friend for. Life stein is lobbying for official support he meets with cure involved Animal Welfare expert for the c. D. U. In berlin. The major problem is that animals are increasingly being sold under the pretense of Animal Welfare many from romania they say theyre rescuing stray dogs then for a fee of 60. 00 or 70 dogs are referred over facebook to owners who know nothing about them and some companies are even specializing in shipping them on mass from Eastern Europe to germany. This is nice of you to help but this is actually a matter for the states the threat of prosecution has to be that i suggest each district gets its own Animal Welfare department exclusively for this instead of leaving it to the food inspectors if you want to know is in quote one of them secret ill sit with you just because they are with you as an Animal Welfare arrest i often have to call the police myself research and document cases the Veterinary Office does it half heartedly. They say they werent there to see it even though it was their job and they cant impose any fines because they dont know the facts i get the impression theres no will to take action if the. Stuff unclenched on has his own dog but he spends less time with it than hed really like to meet. Doesnt it if you assume its good to see a happy dog in a nice home but i know that millions of dogs live in the streets or in pens half dead puppies are sold over ebay and if they dont sell they land in the garbage can. That outrages and frustrates me that this animal trade on the internet still hasnt been prohibited in its you know what. It is already prohibited in austria and switzerland but thats not likely to happen in germany any time soon and so month for month several 1000000 euros disappear into smugglers pockets for dogs from Eastern Europe.
