"Hasi" is dead. A dog had seriously injured the animal on Tuesday on the Jocheralm. The hut keepers are horrified - and angry.


"Hasi" is dead. A dog had seriously injured the animal on Tuesday on the Jocheralm.

The hut keepers are horrified - and angry.

  • Poodle mix runs around free on the Jocheralm despite the obligation to keep a leash and kills the hosts' rabbits.

  • Host couple bursts the collar: The two demand more respect from the hikers for nature.

  • Marile Jungkunz and Josef Hörmann have been fighting the ruthlessness of some guests all summer.

Jachenau / Mittenwald

- One summer as a

hut keeper was

enough to disillusion Marile Jungkunz and Josef Hörmann.

"We are just

sad, shocked and angry

with humanity," the couple wrote in a post on

Facebook.

The hosts of the

Jocheralm posted

these words on Tuesday evening - shortly after

a guest's

dog

had

bitten

their

rabbit to death

.

That was the trigger.

But there are many more reasons for their public outrage.

Jocheralm / Mittenwald: “Hasi” bitten to death by a dog - landlords shocked by disrespectful guests

“Mankind is becoming more and more

impudent, ruthless and unfriendly

towards nature and our animals,” says Marile Jungkunz.

The 21-year-old thinks, for example, of children who throw large stones into the trough while the two horses drink from it.

Or boys and girls who

kick

the eight

chickens

with their feet

.

And she thinks of adolescents who hit the 40 young cattle on the mountain pasture with branches on the noses - and "laugh half-dead" in the process.

Jocheralm / Mittenwald: Disrespectful treatment of nature - "The children can't help it ..."

Recently, the

Mittenwald

woman's patience broke.

"I

yelled at

them to stop immediately," says Marile Jungkunz.

"But you just carried on." The landlady turned to the parents.

But they weren't in too much of a hurry to stop their offspring.

"The children can't help it if they don't learn to do it at home," says Marile Jungkunz.

The

obligation to leash is

always

causing trouble on the Jocheralm

high above the

Walchensee

.

Signs everywhere tell the dog owners that their four-legged friends should be on a

leash

on an

alpine pasture

.

“Cows see dogs as wolves,” explains Marile Jungkunz.

This is why the cattle immediately go into

attack

mode when they see a four-legged friend.

That can be dangerous, also for people.

Nevertheless, many dog ​​owners do not adhere to the

leash requirement.

Leash duty ignored on Jocheralm: landlords mourn their "Hasi"

Just like the two men who

asked for something to drink

at the

Jocheralm

on Tuesday around 6 p.m.

The

hut

had already

closed

at this point

.

Nevertheless, the landlady poured something out.

“We don't let anyone die of thirst.”

She quickly regretted the decision: Despite repeated

requests,

the two men

didn't put

their

poodle

on the

leash

.

“You didn't react at all.” Initially, the hosts remained friendly.

When the animal went into the

hut's

preparation

chamber

, the host threw it out.

At this time, Marile Jungkunz was cleaning the horses - and had to watch at close range as the dog entered the

rabbit enclosure

and

grabbed

the animal by the

neck

.

"Hasi whistled in pain," says Marile Jungkunz.

She herself began to scream.

Josef Hörmann ran out of the kitchen and grabbed the

dog.

He let go of the rabbit.

But the

neck

was already

broken.

After fatal bites against the rabbits of the Jocheralm: dog owners did not even apologize

What disturbs Marile Jungkunz even more than the

violent death

of her beloved pet:

“The men didn't even apologize.”

Resolved as she was, the landlady expelled the two of them from the Alm without asking their names.

The case has

no

consequences

for the

unknown dog owners

.

“I wouldn't have the strength for such an argument either,” says Marile Jungkunz.

After a

summer

on the

alpine pasture

, the

landlady is

tired of discussing - whether about the

mask or leash obligation.

She no longer wants to be so nice in the future if guests

behave

disrespectfully

towards

her,

nature

or

animals

.

Many leave their

rubbish

lying around.

Most just shake their heads or laugh at the young woman when she tells them to keep their

dogs

on a

leash

.

“In future I will probably say: leash or go.” If something happens, the

landlords

and the farmer

are ultimately liable

.

Despite everything, the

youngest hut owners in Germany are

not

thinking of quitting

.

"Most of the guests," says Marile Jungkunz, "are very nice."
