The origin of the puppies left behind on the Karawanken Autobahn (A11) can no longer be clarified. The animals were thrown away as waste. A lot of disease controls are needed now.
According to the Villach highway police, the origin of the puppies and the young dog – as reported on Wednesday, they were all found at 4 a.m. in an alternative alcove on the Karawanken highway (A11) – can no longer be clarified because the animals had not been found. also chipped.
“Moreover, it was fortunate that the dogs did not run into the street. The shock and fear may have saved the lives of the little ones,” said Tara Geltner, president of the state animal welfare board. The highway police also rule out that the German (33) who discovered the dogs is the owner.
Even longer in quarantine
Whether the animals suffer from the Mediterranean disease leishmaniasis will only become clear in the coming days. “We still need to collect stool samples and conduct further testing,” Geltner said. Of course, everything is done to ensure that the little ones become healthy again. The young dog, a hunting terrier, probably also has a gray. “We have received numerous adoption calls. “But it will take weeks before the dogs can be officially released in good health,” Geltner explains.

The illegal puppy trade is still an unscrupulous multi-billion dollar business. Puppies are mass produced in remote animal factories and treated as waste. Thousands of them are transported across states – including Carinthia – and many die during transport. “Only the consumer can prevent puppies from being produced,” animal rights activists emphasize.
