Dog drama in Wolmirstedt: Man brutally tortures animal - police alerted!
In Wolmirstedt, a small town in Germany, an outrageous incident has shocked the public. A 27-year-old man is said to have mistreated his dog, which was observed by a 17-year-old witness from her balcony. According to reports from MDR The animal was kicked, choked and beaten while it screamed for help and bled profusely.
When police arrived, the dog showed clear signs of stress and thirst. Unfortunately, the police were unable to take the dog with them because the district veterinary office was not available at the moment. The Börde district announced on Wednesday afternoon that the dog had not yet been taken into care, but an examination of its status was ongoing.
Animal protection and legal consequences
The owner of the dog, who has no permanent address, is now facing investigations for violating the Animal Welfare Act. The issue of animal protection and animal cruelty affects society not only in Wolmirstedt. There are numerous cases across the country that are not adequately sanctioned. An unpublished study shows that cruelty to farm animals such as pigs, cattle and chickens is often treated with leniency. Loud LTO Only 1,027 people were convicted of animal welfare offenses in 2020, 95% of whom only received fines.
The application of criminal animal protection law often turns out to be inadequate in practice. Although the German animal protection law, which applies equally to pets and farm animals, criminalizes the infliction of significant pain or suffering, such acts are often not prosecuted. Political influence and structural problems hinder the consistent implementation of these regulations.
What can we do?
This incident also raises the question of how we as a society deal with animal welfare violations. The German Animal Welfare Association recommends contacting those responsible directly if animal cruelty is suspected or, if necessary, documenting evidence such as photos. In cases where it is not possible to speak directly, you should contact the local police or animal protection organization. It is important to document the details in order to have options for action in an emergency.
The sad incident in Wolmirstedt is an urgent appeal to society to stand up for the rights of animals and to take action if animal cruelty is suspected. It is our responsibility to promote the welfare of animals and to stand up against their mistreatment, as this protection is also a sign of a humane society.
