Cruel cruelty to animals: goose mercilessly stoned on the banks of the Elbe!

Kaditz, Deutschland - on the banks of Pieschen in Dresden, a cruel act has occurred that heats the minds. A young gray goose was thrown with stones until it died. The brutal attack became known by the commitment of a caller who informed the wild bird sanctuary about the injured animal. But the mission was too late: a helper brought the goose to the reception center in Kaditz, where unfortunately the signs of their serious injuries could no longer be overlooked. The transport did not survive.

In the autopsy of the goose, the injuries turned out to be serious: hematomas on the head, neck and liver, a torn intestine, a bleeding lung and a torn air bag are just a few of the injuries that the goose had suffered. It was an estimated between two and four months old and was hatched this year. Particularly tragic: the injured goose had swollen bread in her beak, which she had thrown up with stress - a possible reason that she mighted suffocated, according to the experts from the wild bird catchment station.

no advertisement, but references to important action

Despite the terrible circumstances on site, the wild bird sanctuary decided not to file a criminal complaint against unknown people. Such advertisements usually bring little, according to the experience of the animal rights activists. The police in Dresden also sees themselves as a duty to draw attention to the incident. A police spokesman appeals to witnesses to report such crimes. For cruelty to animals, up to three years of prison are threatened, but so far the punishments for such offenses in the country are very low.

The topic of animal protection generally raises questions. According to a report by tagesschau.de , the coalition agreement requires an increase in punishment for violations of the animal welfare law, but so far there is no specific draft law. Animal rights activists criticize the frequent impunity and report on structural problems in the animal welfare system.

act instead of looking away

How important quick action is, you can also see from the recommendation of the Animal protection association , when observations of animal torture. If direct intervention is not possible, it advises you to document the incidents and forward the evidence to the responsible bodies. The more precisely the information, the more effective can be intervened, which is also true in the current case in Dresden.

The wild bird sanctuary itself has all hands full at the moment. Many hungry bird children, including house sparrows and cabbage, urgently need support. Therefore, a temporary stop for birds was imposed - a measure that shows how serious animal care is.

These terrible incidents and the resulting discussions about animal welfare in Germany are a tragedy. It remains to be hoped that such cruelty will be less in the future and that the punishments for cruelty to animals finally start on the cause.
