Cruel discovery in Ebbs: cats dumped lifeless in garbage bags!
On Monday, November 11, 2025, a shocking incident was discovered in Ebbs in the Kufstein district, specifically in the area of Wildbichler Straße (B175). Two dead cats were stuffed into black trash bags and dumped in a bush. This cruel act shocked the local population and the authorities are now investigating suspected animal cruelty after initially no external injuries could be found on the animals. However, drowning of the cats cannot be ruled out, which is why the carcasses should be sent for examination to clarify the exact circumstances of their death. One of the affected cats was a black cat with microchip number 900263000762995, but was not registered. The second cat was tabby patterned and had a shortened tail about two inches long.
The brutal disposal of the cats is not the only incident that has been uncovered. More and more cases of animal cruelty are coming to light. According to a database published in 2023 by leading animal rights organizations, there have been over 214 documented animal welfare violations in Germany, particularly in Bavaria, since 2016. This database, which is available on the Tierschutz-Skandale.de platform, offers a detailed overview of the abuses highlighted, including a map for localization and a search function. One of the most alarming points is that 70% of the identified cases involved cattle farms, and of the 36 farms identified for animal cruelty in 2024, 22 were from Bavaria.
Investigations and public reactions
The investigation into the cruel crime in Ebbs is already in full swing. Citizens are shocked by what happened and are demanding clarification and consequences for the actions as quickly as possible. The case shows how important it is to pay attention to the welfare of animals and to publicly address grievances in animal husbandry. Unfortunately, statistics show that often only a few of the violations discovered lead to corresponding legal consequences. In only 4 out of 214 cases there were prison sentences, while in 26 cases fines were imposed. Many advertisements go unanswered or are taken down without consequences, which only increases public concern.
The animal rights organizations point out that this database is not complete and is based on their own research. They recommend promoting a vegan lifestyle to counteract animal cruelty. The detection of such violations could also contribute to raising awareness among the population and, in the long term, lead to better shedding light on grievances in animal husbandry and the treatment of animals in society.
Overall, the Ebbs incident highlights not only the need for stricter monitoring of animal welfare standards, but also how the community can actively work to protect animals. The investigations are a step in the right direction as the ongoing animal welfare scandals in Germany, particularly in Bavaria, call for a sustainable solution.
