A recent swan kill on the New Danube has stunned! Last weekend, the remains of a killed young animal were discovered in the Brigittenau Bay area. Tierschutz Austria has since filed a complaint.
This is not the first case of vile animal cruelty in the area. As early as the end of July, an unknown person had killed a young animal near the barbecue area and tried to pluck it. Apparently the bird needs to be grilled. Also in the current animal thriller there are some indications that the perpetrator wanted to eat his victim.
Meat basically inedible
Tierschutz Austria suspects that the animal was first attracted with food and then caught. To render the swan defenseless, a sack was pulled over its head. This bag was later found in a garbage can and it had blood stains on it. The wings of the animal are said to have been cut with a knife and the swan slayer took the body with him. The animal rights activists identified the crime scene as the barbecue area that served as the site of July’s disgusting animal killing. Is a serial killer at work here? The police are investigating.
Meat is considered inedible
Apart from the fact that killing the wild animal is of course forbidden, the perpetrator will get little pleasure from his prey, also from a culinary point of view. The meat is considered both tough and greasy, a catastrophe in taste and basically inedible. This is also related to the diet of swans in stagnant water. This increases the risk of salmonella contamination. Although the bird was served at receptions in the Middle Ages, it was more because the roast made a good impression at the banquet. Bad taste was masked by excessive use of spices.
