There are wild rumors in the Lower Austrian border area with the Czech Republic. A hunter is said to have shot three dogs on behalf of the owner. The fact is: the animals are dead, the police confirm the investigation.
First kept in a hut, then shot in cold blood and finally the lifeless bodies thrown into a container: this incredible fate is said to have befallen three dogs in a small community near the Czech border. And: The shooter would have acted on behalf of the owner. Locals say they made the decision after one of the dogs ran off and killed a neighbour’s cat.
Wheelbarrow with animal bodies
Children who were guests of the dog owner at a birthday party are said to have started the case. They would have discovered the carcasses ready to be transported in a wheelbarrow. The case was reported shortly afterwards. “The official veterinarian then immediately became active, the carcasses of the affected dogs could be secured,” confirms Hollabrunn District Captain Karl-Josef Weiss of the criminal investigation.
For procedural tactical reasons, no one would like to give any further information. “Yes, we have started the investigation,” said the director. The shooter should have been investigated already.
Waidmann spokesperson: ‘Nobody had a hunting permit’
The neighbors are rumored that the suspect is a hunter. However, the state hunting association denies this. “We are already aware of the case. But neither the owner nor the suspected shooter owns a hunting card,” emphasizes a spokesperson for the hunters’ association.
