On Monday, October 16, an incident occurred in Vöhrenbach in the Black Forest that will shock Anett L. forever. The new Swiss hunting tenants shot two of her pet ducks in front of her eyes and seriously injured the third, despite their known familiarity with the ducks.
Anett L.'s house is in an idyllic location on a lake. When changing hunting tenants, she attached great importance to a good relationship, which had already worked well with the previous hunters. The new tenants from Switzerland enjoyed her hospitality and had access to amenities such as running water and a fridge.
Over a drink together, Anett pointed out their three mallard ducks that used the nearby lake. The tenants assured her that they would not harm the ducks. But on Monday evening, Anett heard shots and discovered the hunters at the lake shooting at her ducks. She rushed down and shouted loudly, but the hunters ignored her and continued shooting, even at a mallard in the water.
The inappropriate behavior of the hunters, who fired dangerous shots, caused bewilderment. The question of why the ducks, which were kept as pets, had to die remains unanswered, as they were definitely not subject to hunting rights. The danger to persons and the usefulness of the dog for duck hunting must also be clarified. The abandonment of a seriously injured duck also raises animal welfare issues; the duck, which had a broken wing among other things, had to be put down.
Anett L. has already filed a complaint and the once good relationship with the hunting tenants seems to have been irretrievably destroyed. Read the shocking story in full at www.jaegermagazin.de!
