Panic horses: firecrackers injured animals and owners in Weißenhorn!

A shocking event happened on a horse padding near Moosburg: two young people lit firecrackers, which led to panic reactions to the horses. The animals, frightened by the loud bangs, ran in all directions and injured themselves, as Klick-kaernten.at . One of the horses suffered a leg injury when it got caught on the ceiling of a feed mast. In their shock the animals tore down the fencing and fled the coupling, while the police quickly determined the origin of the fireworks.

The perpetrators, two guys from the Klagenfurt Land district, stated that the firecrackers found the Böller in the basement of a 15-year-old and then ignited. After intensive surveys, they confessed, and now they have to expect a complaint about the dangerous use of fireworks. This ruthless behavior not only damaged the animals, but also caused considerable damage to the horse's paddock, as the police stated. The dangers for humans should also not be underestimated, as another incident from Weißenhorn shows, in which a horse was startled by Böller and his owner had to be taken to the hospital injured, as Augsburger-allgemeine.de reported. Animal rights activists repeat their demand for a ban on the bang to prevent such incidents in the future.
