Tragic incident in Wilfleinsdorf: Rottweiler attacks grandmother and grandson

A unfortunate incident occurred on 26. July 2022 in Wilfleinsdorf , when a 52-year-old grandmother with her grandchildren was attacked by a Rottweiler. Tragically, the woman died about the serious injuries about two months later.

Last week the trial against the 21-year-old supervisor of the dog, called "Kim", took place. She was charged with negligent killing and negligent bodily harm, but stated that he was innocent. The supervisor emphasized that the dog was never aggressive before and that there were no problems even when visiting children.

Details of the incident

During the incident, the young woman played with her grandfather and the children in the garden. At an unfortunate moment, a ball rolled under the garden gate onto the street, which caused the bitch to chase him. The 21-year-old remembered that she was in a hurry to get the key to the garden gate, but had no leash or a bite, as she feared that it would take too long to capture the dog. This decision turned out to be fatal.

The legal discussion about the incident has sparked an important discussion about the responsibility of dog owners. Many are wondering which measures are necessary to prevent such tragic events in the future and whether the laws should be adapted to animal husbandry. It remains to be seen how this discussion will develop, and whether the outcome of the process for future cases could be important, as Kurier.at reports .
