Thanks to exemplary cooperation between animal lovers, animal rights activists and the mayor of Klagenfurt, months of animal suffering have finally come to an end. Kangal dog Azula went through hell in an apartment.
One thing up front: livestock guard dogs do not belong in apartments! But that did not bother a dog owner from Klagenfurt. She got the four-legged friend as a puppy and when the first difficulties arose, the animal was tortured by having to wear a mouth collar for hours, which was actually only supposed to be used for short periods.
In addition, the dog was only allowed outside at night; during the day, the poor animal had to spend its life in the apartment. Azula often sat at the window in despair (see photo). The neighbor noticed the dog’s ordeal and tried for months to alert the authorities, but in vain.
Acceptance by authority
In his last hour of need, he started a cry for help on Facebook after seeing the shocking images. This launched an exemplary rescue operation in which many people participated, including the mayor of Klagenfurt and his city councillor Michael Gussnig. On Tuesday morning, the time had come: the official veterinarian intervened and ordered an inspection, which meant that the dog Azula could finally be released and taken to Tiko. Because there was indeed imminent danger, according to an animal rights activist. Now Azula is being checked for health and can finally rest in Tiko. This is how animal protection works!
The dog breeder from Upper Carinthia, who has been breeding Kangals for years, places his puppies unsupervised, also in apartments. People have been trying to stop him for a long time because too many puppies are sick and suffer from ZvH (hip dysplasia). The “Krone” has been warning for years about the bad trade in livestock guard dogs.
Strongest dog in the world
The Kangal is a Turkish shepherd dog that is naturally very attentive and suspicious of strangers. In terms of bite force, the Turkish Kangal is ranked first in the world. This breed needs a lot of exercise and as large a territory as possible, or at least a securely fenced yard.
