Wittenberg: Dog owner rams doctor's assistant after dispute over treatment costs!
An incident occurred in Wittenberg, Saxony-Anhalt, on Saturday afternoon that caused a stir. A dog owner didn't want to pay the treatment costs for his four-legged friend and tried to leave the day animal clinic without paying the bill. This is reported by several news portals, including the n-tv and the Time.
When the man tried to leave the building, a doctor's assistant intervened and tried to stop him. The dog owner responded with a dangerous maneuver: he drove his car directly towards the doctor's assistant. As reported, a collision could only be avoided if the employee swerved quickly. The fact that such incidents occur again and again in hectic veterinary medicine shows how high the pressure is on veterinarians and their employees.
Consequences for the dog owner
After this dangerous incident, the police arrested the dog's owner and opened a case against him. The exact criminal consequences are still pending, but it is already clear that the man's behavior raises not only legal but also moral questions.
Considering the situation, you can only shake your head. Feelings of helplessness in such a crisis situation are certainly not uncommon, but there is no reason for anyone to express their displeasure in this way.
Those responsible at the day animal clinic have now commented on the incident and emphasized that in such cases one must always pay attention to the welfare of the animals and the safety of the staff. A veterinary emergency should never get on the nerves of pet owners, but of course it happens again and again, as this incident shows.
The debate about how to deal with such difficult situations remains. How to calm tempers in such moments is a challenge that not only concerns the hospital staff. Communication at eye level can work wonders here, even if your nerves are often frayed. Let's hope that this situation was educational for everyone involved and that something similar can be avoided in the future.
