Carcasses
An animal body is to be understood in German law
- a dead, stillborn or unborn animal, or a slain animal that is not used for human consumption.
With animal body parts are meant
- Parts of animals from slaughter, including blood, bristles, feathers, hides, skins, horns, claws , bones and wool,
- otherwise accruing parts of animals,
which are not used for human enjoyment.
Animals that have died or have not been slaughtered for human consumption are also known as "fallen animals".
In order to prevent and control animal diseases and zoonoses , certain types of animal carcasses must be disposed of in an animal carcass disposal facility. This applies in particular to the bodies of solipeds , cloven-hoofed animals , dogs , cats , poultry , rabbits and precious fur animals that are in the house, business or otherwise in the possession of humans, as well as for the bodies of animals that are in zoological gardens or similar facilities kept in pet shops.
