Animal protection scandal: illegal transports exposed at the border crossing!

Nickelsdorf, Österreich - A Romanian animal transporter, which was stopped at the Nickelsdorf border crossing on Saturday, caused excitement when the officials found 26 dogs and eight cats. The animals should be handed over to their new owners via different rest areas, but the transport conditions were more than questionable. As meinbezirk.at , there was no space for a valid transportation and some animals had much space because of a dog of his age was not transportable. The truck had also lost excessive oil and was heavily overloaded.

27 vehicles were also checked during the check, whereby the officers issued 18 security benefits and issued eleven ads in accordance with the Animal Transport Act. In addition to the Romanian van, a Hungarian truck was also stopped, which transported 13 dogs, seven of which were heavily polluted by excrement. Again, there was no valid transportation license, such as Sn.at . In this context, a total of 52 advertisements due to technical defects and ten were reimbursed due to overload. In this campaign, the grievances in animal transport were clearly visible, which indicates the need to tighten the controls.
