The heartless abandonment of animals in Carinthia continues. On Christmas Eve alone, a mother dog and her puppies were found in the service yard in Feistritz/Drau and a pedigreed male was put in the pet door of the Garden of Eden in Klagenfurt by a woman in the presence of her eight-year-old. old child.
“What’s wrong with some people?” is the question of the animal caretakers of the Carinthian animal shelters. On Christmas Eve, a purebred Carthusian tomcat was placed in the pet door of the Garden of Eden Animal Shelter. Zookeepers saw a woman callously throw the poor animal away in the presence of her eight-year-old son. “We then approached the woman. She let us know that she couldn’t help it. Her ex-husband wanted to throw the cat into the woods,” says animal caretaker Dennis dismayed. Unfortunately, it has become a sad fashion for more and more animals to be disposed of in the animal hatch.
“On December 21, a young female was taken away. Heidi Lepuschitz caught the man trying to put the cat in the pet door. He then just tossed the poor kitty next to the bins and drove off in his car. The kitten was even slightly injured as a result,” Dennis continues. Another gray and white kitten was in the animal hatch on December 12, a black and white cat was thrown from a car on December 14 at Radsberg and taken to the Garden of Eden by the shocked witnesses.
And between December 15 and 16, eight guinea pigs ended up in the animal hatch. “Three of them are pregnant, the Tiko Klagenfurt and the Villach animal shelter are taking over a few, because we are slowly running out of space.”
Mother dog and puppies found at rest stop
Also on Christmas Eve, a woman of Hungarian descent is said to have found the tiny, emaciated bitch and her puppies in a box near the Feistritz service area on the Drau. “But we don’t believe that story. It is more likely that the woman smuggled the animals across the border and made up the story for us. The bitch is completely emaciated, the puppies are in very bad condition. We will report the woman,” says animal shelter director Jorge Montiel of animal shelter Villach.
Feed donations were needed more than ever
The shelters are completely overcrowded. Animal lovers can help with food donations. Especially in the Tierheim Garten Eden in Klagenfurt, wet cat food is constantly needed for adult and young cats.
It is also pointed out that the pet door is only available for extreme emergencies. It was a horrible experience for the animals. Former pets in particular have been traumatized.
