Animal Family Tragedy with a happy ending in the Mühlviertel: a duck family strayed on the Mühlviertel highway. The mother was run over, but the five chicks could be saved by the connection between dedicated witnesses, animal rights activists and ASFINAG employees.
“We were called to the S10 near Unterweitersdorf for an unusual assignment: a duck family was in the middle of the road,” reports Tierhilfe Gusental, which was the alarm.
Dangerous use
But it soon became clear that they couldn’t make it alone. Other members of the Animal Welfare Association and the Routeservice of Asfinag were warned. Because it was just too frequent to catch the scattered animals in the middle of cars.
Distributed more than 500 meters
“Unfortunately, the duck mother was already dead. The chicks had spread over a distance of about 500 meters in the average area of the highway – one of which had even fallen into a process,” said the dedicated rescuers of animals.
Chicks also saved from canal
The ASFINAG employees responded quickly, blocked a lane so that the rescue could run as safely as possible. A total of five chicks – including those of the canal – could be restored. The chicks were included in the Freistadt Animal Shelter, where they are now being attracted.
