The services in action wrote that the police officers were to stop serving as caregivers at the Łączna Zoo and would no longer have to feed or water the animals. The author assessed that it is hard to applaud this, as he considered the very fact that police officers previously performed these duties to be absurd. #policja #absurd #ZOO (translated)

Konrad Krasuski wrote that he spoke with an anonymous employee of the Veterinary Inspection about the situation around the zoo in Łączna. According to the informant, on October 2, during the Animal Rights Congress in the Senate, the Chief Veterinary Officer and representatives of the General Directorate for Environmental Protection were present, and discussions were already underway in the corridors about a future intervention at the zoo. The employee emphasized that identifying irregularities during an inspection does not automatically mean that animals must be taken away. As Krasuski reported, the informant distinguished between deficiencies that could be ordered to be corrected — such as an insufficient enclosure for a tiger — and situations where the animal's welfare is threatened enough to warrant immediate removal. He also assessed that there was no reason not to trust the District Veterinary Officer in Wałbrzych. According to the employee, the veterinarian had held this position since around 2015, had extensive knowledge, and difficult cases were consulted with him; in his opinion, animal removal was not necessary. The informant alleged that the authority of the Veterinary Inspection was being publicly undermined, and the responsibility for systemic problems fell on individual veterinarians. He claimed that after subsequent media scandals, district veterinarians were being changed, but this did not lead to real reforms. He also pointed out the lack of uniform procedures, support, specialized training related to zoo inspections, and a joint protocol for such inspections. He critically assessed the advisory teams at the Chief Veterinary Officer. As Krasuski conveyed, the employee believed that individuals associated with animal protection and social sciences had a significant impact on the discussion, while the knowledge and experience of veterinarians and field inspectors were being marginalized. He also noted that actions concerning the removal of animals from the zoo in Łączna were to be undertaken about six months after the notification, while the investigation by the same prosecutor's office concerning DIOZ lasted much longer. The employee stressed that the transport of wild and exotic animals, when necessary, requires prior preparations: acclimatizing the animal to the transport crate and ensuring the presence of a familiar caretaker. According to him, severe stress can lead some species to refuse food, panic, or self-harm. The informant also indicated that veterinarians were asked very short notice about the possibility of sedating animals before transport and assessed that such an operation should not be organized ad hoc. As Krasuski reported, the employee believed that transport could be justified in direct threat to life or health, but in other circumstances, the transport itself and the associated stress could also pose significant risks to the animals. #OchronaZwierząt #ZOO #Weterynaria (translated)

The author of the entry wrote that the safety of children requires continuous action — from the first signal to checking whether the threat has passed. He pointed out that schools, kindergartens, and childcare facilities need a trusted adult, a quick risk assessment, and a practiced response, and at every stage there should be a designated responsible person. He added that such a solution is possible. #BezpieczeństwoDzieci #Edukacja #OchronaDzieci #PL (translated)

Marcin Józefaciuk criticized the response of Deputy Minister Sławomir Ćwik to a question about paternity testing at the request of a parent and the responsibility for knowingly misleading a man. As he wrote, in the League of Debates Portal Zero, Ćwik accused the question of stereotyping women and said he trusts his wife. Józefaciuk believed that instead of addressing legal protections, the deputy minister assessed the intentions of the questioner and referenced personal experience. Józefaciuk reminded that — as he pointed out — the law establishes paternity by presumption concerning the mother's husband, acknowledgment of paternity, or court ruling, without universal DNA verification. He also noted that the test result does not, in itself, change the legal status of a father. He criticized Ćwik's statement that a man can test a child despite the mother's objection, invoking Article 97 § 2 of the Family and Guardianship Code, which — according to him — requires joint decision-making by parents on significant matters concerning the child and provides for court resolution in case of disagreement. The author wrote that the mother's husband essentially has a year from obtaining information about the lack of biological paternity to file a lawsuit for its denial, no later than until the child reaches adulthood. He also cited case III CZP 91/11, in which the Supreme Court described the case of a man who acknowledged a child in 1998, and his acknowledgment was annulled in 2006 after paternity was excluded by DNA testing. Józefaciuk called for presenting data on such proceedings and considering the available procedure for paternity testing, taking into account the protection of the child and the possibility of judicial resolution of the other parent's objections. He also advocated for a discussion about the consequences of proven, deliberate misleading. He qualified that the DNA result alone does not prove fraud nor automatically grant the right to recover expenses, and the child should not be held accountable for the actions of adults. #Polska #ojcostwo #prawo (translated)
