Next shocking case of animal abuse in Upper Austria: As has only just become known, an incident similar to the current one took place in Aurach am Hongar at the end of April. In the previous case, the judiciary will also come into the picture, because the owners of the animals will soon appear in court.
The couple from Hungary allegedly left a Belgian shepherd and a black greyhound in the car. The animals were each locked in a transport box, the 20-year-old and the 22-year-old parked their Volkswagen station wagon in Wels in the blazing sun, according to the complaint from the Wels public prosecutor’s office.
Painful death
The animals died just as painfully as their counterparts in Aurach am Hongar. On August 1, the two Hungarians will stand trial in Wels on suspicion of animal abuse. It is not yet certain whether there will be criminal proceedings in this case.
Pfotenhilfe has filed a complaint
After an anonymous appeal to the district administration of Vöcklabruck – the imposition of a penalty on the owner of the dead German Shepherds is expected soon – the public prosecutor must now also take action in the case. The lawyer of the Innviertel animal protection organization Pfotenhilfe has filed a complaint for animal abuse (Article 222 of the Criminal Code). But that’s not all: because the carcasses that died in a dog cart were immediately taken away, there is also a suspicion of suppression of evidence.
Background: As reported, the animal tragedy only came to light three days later. The carcasses had already disappeared by then. They were supposedly needed for the investigation to gain clarity about the way the dogs died.
