An animal transporter stopped near Nickelsdorf with 34 four-legged friends

Date:

Dozens of dogs and cats were out and about for hours, in small cages and very dirty. They were probably intended as “Christmas presents”.

Unfortunately, animals still often end up as presents under the tree at Christmas. The illegal trade in four-legged friends therefore flourishes especially – but not only – before the holidays. For this reason, the police carried out a special action this weekend at the border near Nickelsdorf (Burgenland). It didn’t take long for officials to remove the first animal transporter from circulation.

Catastrophic conditions
A Romanian truck was transporting 26 dogs and 8 cats, locked in small cages. The kennels for three dogs were so cramped that the police had to intervene. It also turned out that one dog was no longer suitable for transport due to its age. In addition, the transport permit was no longer valid and the truck was heavily overloaded. The transporter’s destination was Germany, where the driver said the animals would be handed over to their new owners at rest areas – a clear indication of illegal puppy trafficking!

Animals heavily polluted
Germany was also the destination of a Hungarian car, which was also stopped at the controls. The backseat and trunk of the car were full of cages. The driver had loaded a total of 13 dogs. Seven four-legged friends were heavily soiled with feces. Also, no valid transport permit could be presented.

In the nine hours that the operation lasted, a total of 27 vehicles were checked, eleven reports were made under the safety law and 117 for technical defects, overloading and the like.
