Packed almost “airtight” under a tarpaulin, without water and with a long journey to Spain ahead of them – eight puppies were discovered by attentive police officers in Gratwein (Styria) while being transported illegally. The young dogs were brought into the house.
“Severely abused”, “put out on the street”, “in the killing station” – such advertisements, combined with heartbreaking photos of poor four-legged friends, touch the hearts of many Styrians so much that they have animals brought over from abroad and rescued. But it’s not always the truth behind the photos.
Criminal fraud
It is now often a criminal business model set up by people who have nothing to do with animal protection. And those who deliberately breed dogs for this model use dogs as birthing machines and keep them in squalid conditions to attract donations.
Future uncertain
It is possible that these eight quadrupeds also emerged from such machinations. They were in a van that was almost completely covered with a tarpaulin, which fortunately the alert police officers noticed. The four young German shepherds and three Labrador mixes and an adult poodle were dehydrated and possibly sedated so that they could behave smoothly on the long journey to Spain, where the eight animals were taken, according to the active animal protection agency. Your future is uncertain.
