Shocking animal welfare scandals: dogs from Hungary bred under unworthy conditions

In a shattering turn in the case of a suspected illegal puppy trade, a woman from Graz was caught by the police. There is suspicion that the woman bred in several Hungarian places, especially in Csöngs and Csapod, dogs under extremely poor conditions and then sold to Austria.

reports from animal rights activists draw an alarming picture of the living conditions of the animals. The dogs are said to have been kept in unworthy conditions in the courtyards that are attributed to the Graz native, which caused some animal rights activists to speak outraged by "numerous carcasses". These grievances throw a bright light on the shadow economy of animal trade and the cruelty that many animals have to endure.

Details for arrest

The arrest of the woman not only keeps the local population in suspense, but also shows the need for stricter controls in animal welfare. So far it is unclear how many animals are affected and what legal consequences the woman could expect. The police have announced that it would be comprehensively investigating the matter and taking up further investigations.

The case will certainly be illuminated more intensively in the coming days. It is to be hoped that the animals concerned will soon come to better hands and that the detection of such practices will be preventive in the future. With regard to the exact circumstances and possible charges, it remains to be seen, which the investigation will reveal. For more information, a detailed report at www.heute.at are consulted.
