Student brings orphaned fawn to school - police investigated!

Passau, Deutschland - A 14-year-old student from Lower Bavaria recently drew attention to himself with a remarkable campaign. On the way to school, the young person found an abandoned fawn and decided to take it to school in Passau, which is more than 20 kilometers from its original site in Fürstenstein. First of all, it remains unclear how he transported the animal, but it is believed that he took it on the bus, possibly with the help of a classmate who supported him.

When the school teachers discovered the fawn, they immediately informed the police. This took the incident seriously and contacted the BUND nature conservation, which sent an expert to take care of the animal. However, the responsible tenant was difficult to find the mother of the fawn. The police are now examining whether the incident could have criminal consequences for the young person, especially with regard to hunting.

protection of the animal and legal concerns

The police found that animal welfare was "never endangered". Nevertheless, there are concerns about dealing with abandoned wild animals. Hunting associations advise not to touch the fawns found independently, as this could violate the mother animals. Instead, finders of such animals should contact hunters or forester. With orphaned animals, it is important to ensure low -stimulating transport to a quiet place before being forwarded to a breeding station.

The situation of the fawn throws an important light on the challenges with which animals are confronted in nature. For example, Swiss animal protection STS has launched an innovative project for fawn rescue since 2023. A drone fleet is inserted to find fawns during the hayone with thermal imaging cameras and protect them from mowing machines.

Effective methods for fawn rescue

In Switzerland, almost 20,000 fawns have been saved in recent years. The drones fly off the mowing meadows and transmit pictures live to a monitor. Due to their body temperature, fawn appears as light spots in the dark meadow. A field of 2 to 3 hectares can be searched in just 20 to 30 minutes, which makes the rescue of these animals worth protecting. In view of these developments in animal welfare work and the challenges that animal residents of our environment are facing, it becomes clear how important it is to deal consciously and responsibly with nature. The cases such as that of the 14-year-old can serve as educational examples that emphasize both the commitment of the youth and the need to be well informed when dealing with wild animals.
