With the rising temperatures, pools, paddling pools, ponds, water troughs and rain barrels offer the longed-for cooling.
But be careful!
Such water holes are a great danger for dogs and cats but also for hedgehogs, birds, insects and other animals! The animals fall in and can no longer get out, but drown in agony.
Please help to prevent your pleasure from becoming a mortal danger:
- Cover your pool with a suitable cover as soon as it is no longer supervised.
- If this is not possible, create an exit possibility (e.g. wooden board).
Thank you for your help!
