A woman from Salzburg found an injured animal on her terrace in Salzburg-Langwied and wanted to help it. Days later, the woman is still angry about the police and hunters who came to her aid…
Maria R. (Editor’s name known) couldn’t believe her eyes. A deer lay desperate and motionless on the terrace of her house in Salzburg-Langwied on Monday morning. The animal fell a few meters from the adjacent Heuberg and ended up on the terrace.
“On the outside there was nothing wrong with the deer, but something was wrong,” says the finder. She called the fire brigade, who in turn called the hunter. But nothing happened. The animal lover picked up the suffering deer in a blanket and took it to the vet. He examined the deer, gave it an injection and discovered that it probably had internal injuries. R. now also called the police because she had no longer received messages from the fire brigade.
“What should I have done differently?”
Shortly after noon the director and the hunter in charge arrived. R. became increasingly concerned about the deer. The hunter took the deer and his blanket. “But he immediately dropped it again and it landed on his head,” said the concerned lady. “I asked if it would be killed now, he just said: Well, what do you think?” According to R., the police even threatened her with legal consequences for stealing the animal.
“What should I have done differently?” says the Salzburg resident. “A deer also deserves a dignified end.” When asked, hunters and law enforcement officials insisted they had done nothing wrong. Mrs. R. is not threatened with legal consequences. The only thing: the hunters ask that in the future they immediately inform the hunters or the police. And: Finders must always leave injured wild animals there.
