Jäger condemned: eight months in prison for shooting a dog!

A dramatic incident has excited the minds in the past few days: a hunter shot a dog in Bavaria completely without no reason. The case goes back to July 2022 when a free dog, the bitch Mara, played during a canoe tour on the Main near Knetzgau. The 78-year-old perpetrator killed the animal out of his vehicle without the impending danger, as no indication of the dog behavior of the dog, reported ​​t-online.de . He did not notice the dog's owner nor took care of the injured animal. The Bamberg Regional Court has now reacted and condemned the hunter for a prison sentence of eight months on probation for tortious abuse and property damage.

Legal judgment according to Wende

The case took a turn when the defendant withdrew his revision against the judgment of the regional court, which means that the judgment of December 16, 2024 is now final. Previously, the district court of Haßfurt imposed a fine of 140 daily rates of 40 euros in November 2023 because the hunter had violated the Animal Welfare Act.

In addition, another legal case in Austria causes a stir: A man was sentenced to a prison sentence, mostly on probation, for a so -called "stairway accident" on the banks of the Salzach. He caused serious injuries to a 35-year-old woman who now has to live with metal plates in the head and great scars. The public prosecutor demanded a stricter punishment, since the consequences for the victim are serious, as reported.
