An early Christmas miracle for 40 dogs and 40 cats held in catastrophic conditions in Eisenstadt! Courageous animal lovers accidentally discovered another case of ‘animal hoarding’ by a well-known Austrian woman and ensured the animals were rescued.
Can you imagine living in an apartment with 40 dogs? I think few people would put this into practice. Anders Martina B. (name known to the editors). The Austrian has been known for decades for keeping dozens of dogs and cats in sometimes horrible ways.
A few days ago it happened again in Eisenstadt! After courageous animal rights activists accidentally came across the devastating living conditions of Mrs. B.’s animals, the authorities were informed. The official veterinarian and police seized approximately 40 dogs and cats.
Dogs totally scared
Not only did they find what they were looking for in the small apartment, but also in the dark basement and attic. According to the information provided to the “Krone”, the dogs sometimes have ingrown claws and clearly show that the world outside their dungeon is completely alien to them.
They have been brought to safety by animal protection and are being well cared for. A small Christmas miracle for the rescued animals. But in reality, this misery should not have happened in the first place! Because how is it possible that a woman has been keeping dozens of animals in appalling conditions since 2003 and has not been stopped? Why aren’t there more checks by the authorities?
Ban on keeping animals?
It is also incomprehensible that a ban on keeping animals was requested for the woman in question in 2022, but this was rejected by the judge. According to a psychological report, Mrs. B. is said to be on the “right track”. The 80 animals seized clearly show that this is not the case. Apart from the animal suffering, it must also be taken into account that the repeated animal abuse of this individual human costs the taxpayer a lot of money.
Taxpayers on the hook
Animal corner “Krone” extrapolated these costs very tolerantly and arrived at the high amount of around 170,000 euros. A significant amount of money for someone who, for whatever reason, harms animals and ultimately does not want to pay a cent for it. It is hoped that the authorities will now charge Mrs B. again and that a general, nationwide ban on keeping animals will finally be imposed.
