Elch Emil in St. Pölten: Animal rights activists warn of dangerous curiosity!
The moose Emil has reached St. Pölten and continues its journey through Austria. He causes a sensation as he roams through the cities and forests and attracts the attention of onlookers. The St. Pölten Animal Welfare Association has confirmed that Emil is doing well, but the animal rights activists urge the population to avoid liteness. According to the 5min.at, moose are no more human proximity.
The animal rights activists provide important information so as not to endanger Emil. It is urgently not advised to feed him because Emil himself finds food such as buds and young shoots. In addition, people should keep distance and do without photos or videos. A stressed moose could flee panicked, which can lead to accidents. Another risk is that Emil gets used to people and remains in the city. Therefore, it is important not to attract him.
Wild animals in the city
The phenomenon that wild animals like Emil penetrate into urban areas is not new. According to the Tierschutzbund, wild boars and foxes have also learned to adapt to urban life. Wild boars, which usually in groups, so -called rotten, occur, rummage through the soil in search of food and often hardly leave a lawn. You are looking for roots, worms and other food sources, which makes the meadows appear over.
In cities like Cologne, over 1,000 foxes live according to estimates. While these animals represent an enrichment for the urban biodiversity, there is also a certain skepticism. Many people worry about the risk of diseases like rabies. A positive aspect, however, is that Germany has been rabies -free for many years, which also benefits raccoons and squirrels.
The return of wild animals to urban spaces shows the adaptability of nature. Nevertheless, the case of Elch Emil illustrates the need to take these animals into account and protect their habitats. The animal welfare associations play a crucial role in the education and the protection of animals from human influences.
