Weilheim - Especially now in spring, when many wild animals such as deer, birds or rabbits have offspring, walkers , joggers and riders should stay on the trails so as not to disturb the wild animals . Very important: Dogs should be kept on a leash .
Hunters demand: Dogs have to be on a leash when going for a walk in the forest!
This is something that hunters like Heinz Dietrich from Unterhausen always demand - but often in vain, as the tenant of a hunting ground near Weilheim reports.
Hunter addresses dog owners - who answers: "The dog is looking for a toy"
He recently had an incident that made him extremely angry: “At the Hardt, a man let his dog run in the high meadow without a leash . When asked what he was doing there, he got the answer: "The dog is looking for toys."
Hunters warn: newborn fawns lie in the meadows
When Dietrich warned the dog owner that fawns are currently being born and that lie in the meadows, the man denied this - there were no deer here . "We discussed back and forth until the man finally got the dog back in the car.
"Then I drove away, but I thought I'd better take a picture of his license plate," says Dietrich. So he turned around - and saw the dog again on the meadow without a leash . "I finally called the police, but they weren't particularly interested," says Dietrich disappointed.
Gruesome find: dog agers deer to death - offspring must also die
Even worse was an incident on the same evening that his predecessor experienced as a tenant: "He saw a medium-sized black dog chasing a roe deer ." When they later searched the area together, they found the roe deer still alive with panic eyes wide open on the floor - she could not get away, had obviously injured her front legs and showed further bite marks .
Hunters release dog-hounded deer from their suffering
"We then released the animal from its suffering," says Dietmeier. The worst moment afterwards is always when something suddenly moves under the belly of the dead animal - the unborn offspring, who is also doomed to die. The two hunters finally cut three unborn fawns out of the goat . "It's not a pretty sight, not even for us hunters, " emphasizes Dietrich. Hence his appeal: stay on the trails and keep dogs on a leash !
Unfortunately, this is not the only incident of this kind. Again and again, unleashed dogs tear wild animals. In Weilheim, for example, a dog tore a pregnant deer. Hunters reported incredible scenes. Such a case has also occurred in Garmisch-Partenkirchen. In Olching, a hunter shot a dog after making out about a deer.
