Bloody attack on sheep: who could be so cruel?
In the tranquil town of Riefensberg (Vorarlberg), a shocking incident occurred that terrified sheep farmers. On the night of January 4th to 5th, three sheep were brutally attacked in a pasture. The owner, Sabine, was horrified when she discovered one of her charges covered in blood that morning. During the gruesome discovery, she discovered that two animals had even had their ears cut off. Sheep “Wölkchen” survived, but is still fighting for survival, while sheep Luci died due to serious injuries. According to Sabine, the attack took place between midnight and 6 a.m. and she is certain: “The perpetrator was not an animal!” Their considerations suggest that the attacker could have been a human, since sheep are flight animals and if the animal had been hunted, the entire herd would have fled, reports Today.at.
Investigations are ongoing
After the shocking discovery, Sabine quickly alerted both the Hittisau police station and a veterinarian. A report has already been filed. "I don't understand who would do something like that. They are such sweet and innocent animals. It's cruel," she told the media. Sabine appeals to the public to receive information about the incident. Anyone who observed something on the night in question can call 0664 6327820 or contact the Hittisau police station.
