Herlin-Karnell, Ester Verfassungsblog 2024-05-14 Text txt rdacontent Computermedien c rdamedia Online-Ressource cr rdacarrier “Never look a gift horse in the mouth” is a well-known saying, yet the proverb might recently have gained new meaning.  Just before the recent World Cup finals in dressage and show jumping in Riyad, there were reports about horses with blue tongues in the dressage sport. These non-human athletes did not get enough air, presumably due to overly tight bridles and excessive pressure applied by their riders. Currently, animal protection is not sufficiently harmonized and enforced in the EU, but there are reasons to be hopeful. The EU should take the lead and require member States to implement comprehensive animal protection systems.
