Bull in Burgenland: Drama in the mud - rescue with crane and wheel loader!
On Monday morning, April 15, 2025, there was an unusual incident in the southern Burgenland town of Grieselstein. Two bulls that were kept in a pasture broke out of their fencing, which led to an extensive rescue operation. According to vienna.at the inglorious adventure of the two animals started around 9:00 a.m.
The owner of the bulls immediately noticed the outbreak and immediately informed the police. He also asked other farmers for support, while the uninvited outliers in the area caused excitement. A bull was quickly found, but decided to run away and finally got into a stream bed where he got stuck in the mud. Fortunately, the bull was unharmed.

The recovery of the bull stuck in the mud was carried out with the help of a car crane. The second bull was discovered by walkers at a ditch two meters deep, which was surrounded by scrub. This bull could finally be recovered with the help of ropes and a wheel loader. The entire campaign was monitored by the police officers, who also remained intact in this situation.
The incident raises questions about animal welfare, especially since the housing conditions in agriculture are often viewed critically. A look at the topic of factory farming shows that the buying behavior of consumers has a significant impact on the well -being of animals. In this context, the WWF recommends reducing or avoiding animal foods to promote both nature and animal welfare. According to wwf.de it is crucial that responsibility for animal husbandry is not only given to consumers.
The role of agriculture and trade
Instead, retail, industry and politics have to work together to improve the conditions in animal husbandry. This includes measures such as listing products from animal tonal forms as well as the introduction of minimum standards for animal -friendly quality in the range. An example of positive changes is the Hopmann family from Kappeln, which swings by the intensive pig fattening to organic and outdoor pigs, and was even recognized as Baltic Sea farmers in 2023.Overall, the incident in Grieselstein illustrates the challenges associated with the keeping of large animals, and at the same time focuses on the discussion about species -appropriate animal husbandry and the influence of consumption behavior on animal welfare. Such events show how important it is to act responsibly in agriculture and to create trust in animal husbandry practices.
