Horrible find in Lenglern: Raccoon discovered without a head in the cemetery!

In Lenglern, in a cemetery parking lot, a horrifying sight was discovered: Elfi Reinhardt found a dead raccoon lying there without its head and forelegs. The animal lover was shocked because such cruel mutilations raise questions. “Who does something like that?” she asked herself in horror during her walk with her dog Bobby. She immediately called the police, who disposed of the carcass. Reinhardt suspected that a human could have been responsible for the animal's death and said that "no one has the right to kill such an animal, especially not in such a painful manner" as vom Göttingen Tageblatt was reported.

But experts have their doubts about the circumstances. Jan Morgenstern, an amateur hunter who saw the photos of the raccoon, does not believe the crime was intentional. According to him, the lacerations and mud indicate a traffic accident. It is not unlikely that the animal was hit by a vehicle without the driver noticing. If such an accident occurs in the dark, the animal could have gotten under the car and been injured while driving. Police also confirmed that there were no clear signs of an offense under the Animal Welfare Act and that natural causes appeared more likely.

Raccoons and their way of life

Raccoons are adaptable omnivores, capable of consuming both plant and animal foods. Their diet includes a variety of foods, from fruits to insects, as on wildbruecke.de is explained. This ability to adapt to different food sources contributes to their survival in different habitats.

The questions and concerns surrounding the terrible discovery of the raccoon remain unanswered for the time being. The investigation into the exact circumstances continues, while animal and nature lovers continue to hope for clarification.
