Animal drinkers of an activation unit provided with two arms engaging respective valve pin in an axially oriented manner when pivoting an activator. This reduces wear and leads to a longer service life of the drinker valve. The respective arm can moreover have a channel through which the water exits the drinker valve and can be fed in a targeted manner to the activator to ensure that all of the water exiting the drinker valve makes its way into the water collection tray.
