Wallgauer threatens with a sign to shoot dogs when they relieve themselves. The public prosecutor's office is now examining the case.

As complaints about the brutal threat are piling up, the municipality is also currently considering legal action. According to the hunting law, only hunters are allowed to do this if free-roaming four-legged friends are caught poaching, says Ann-Kathrin Fries, a lawyer specializing in animal law. An animal defecating must not become a target - even if the property owner is a police officer or hunter.
