The dog owner’s statement about the tragedy in Naarn (Upper Austria) leaves no one unmoved. The woman from Mühlviertel (38), whose three American Staffordshire terriers had bitten a jogger to death in Naarn at the beginning of October last year and who was legally sentenced to 15 months in prison, had spoken out on Facebook.
In her post, the 38-year-old wishes her sincere condolences to the relatives, but then writes about an ‘accident’, ‘media witch hunt’ and about ‘having gone through hell herself’. However, the thoughts of many ‘Krone’ readers are with the survivors of the dead athlete: ‘Unfortunately, society is such that the perpetrators receive more sympathy than the victims. My condolences go out to the son and husband,” writes Anna Leitner.

After Friday’s “Krone” report, more than 400 reactions also appeared on the Internet. “It must be a complete mockery for those left behind!” “Hopefully this person will never be allowed to keep dogs like that again! The pity trick doesn’t work’, or: ‘You have to have the courage first. Because of you, someone died a cruel death and you publicly bathe in self-pity,” are just some of the many critical comments on krone.at.
“A muzzle can save a lot of grief”
In addition, there was a bite attack in the Traunviertel at the beginning of this week. The dog “Bella” was attacked by two dogs while out for a walk and was so seriously injured that she had to undergo surgery. Only because the owner of “Bella” grabbed one of the attackers by the collar and dragged him away, the four-legged friend would still be alive.
Here too, the owner would have been powerless to control his two dogs. The owner of ‘Bella’ writes on Facebook ‘how dangerous it can be to keep dogs that you cannot control in everyday situations.’ She concludes: “It’s only a small step to put a muzzle on your dog, but it can save you a lot of suffering.”
