Thomas Schröder (animal rights activist)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Thomas Schröder (born March 3, 1965 in Elsfleth ) is a German animal rights activist and president of the German Animal Welfare Association since 2011.

Life

Schröder grew up in Elsfleth . After training as a bookseller , he completed advanced training to become a communications specialist at the West German Academy for Communication in Cologne . This was followed by a long career as office manager of the SPD - Bundestag deputies Margitta Terborg . Schröder also worked as an independent communications consultant and as a lecturer for public relations at the West German Academy for Communication and at the Cologne coaching company DKDT. Before he was elected President of the German Animal Welfare Association, he was its press spokesman and, since 2004, its federal manager.

On October 2nd, 2011 he was elected president of the association by the regular general meeting of the German Animal Welfare Association in Hanover .

Schröder demands a meat tax in order to pass on the external effects of meat consumption to the polluter. He says: “Meat is so cheap today because the ancillary costs of production are passed on to the general public. Even the vegan pays for environmental damage such as the nitrate pollution of the groundwater through liquid manure. Meat has to cost more so that demand and thus production decrease. "

After a Staffordshire Bull Terrier killed two people in April 2018 and the animal was therefore being euthanized , Schröder demanded a "chance for rehabilitation" for animals.

Schröder lives in Cologne.
