PETA Deutschland File Complaint Against Totilas' Owners | ||
PETA Deutschland Files Complaint Against Totilas' Owners Press Release by PETA He was considered the best dressage horse in the world. Since his debut, Totilas, the 12-year-old Dutch Warmblood stallion has been at the center of media attention. In 2010, the multiple world champion sold for a record-breaking, double-digit, million dollar sum to Paul Schockemöhle and changed riders to Matthias Alexander Rath. It has been reported that since then, he has been trained in the style known as "Rollkur" - a systemic overstretching of the neck. PETA also has documented that Totilas beside his training, spends the majority of the day in the box to avoid possible injury. Under natural conditions, they live in groups and move up to 16 hours daily. Lack of exercise can cause long-term behavioral problems and damage to the musculoskeletal system This means a free, self-directed motion be denied. On suspicion of violating the Animal Welfare Act PETA has now filed a complaint against the owner and rider of Totilas. PETA calls for a nationwide ban on animal-torturing training method.
