Authorities intervened – Unworthy conditions: woman held iguana and mastiff

Date:

Employees of the public order office, including the official veterinarian, rang the doorbell of an 80-year-old pensioner from Salzburg on Wednesday morning. The woman kept an iguana and a mastiff in very questionable conditions. She is now rid of her two animals…

The supervisor was notified. “Wrong posture of an iguana,” it read. This was confirmed on the spot. The iguana was in a cage that was too small and was only lined with towels. A heat lamp is required for species-specific housing and there must be a place for the animal to climb and a place to retreat in the cage. The woman stated that she ordered the iguana online. “The animal was delivered by mail. It is a miracle that the iguana survived,” says animal rescue. This was also in use. Because: The woman kept a mastiff named “Puppi” in a room of 20 square meters. Also not appropriate. Animal control took the dog to the brought asylum.

Conclusion of the authorities: The lady was not able to care for the animals for health reasons and financially.
