Thonstetten
-
The resident of a property in Thonstetten (City of Moosburg) made
a
gruesome find
on Friday morning.
Not far from her terrace she found the carcass of an
eaten deer
.
As the woman reported to the Freisinger Tagblatt, her son was unable to fall asleep around 10 p.m. the previous evening because he
heard
something
screaming
in the garden
.
The parents then went out onto the
terrace
to turn on the light in the garden and check that everything was
going
well.
The man made several
clapping noises
as deer had come to the property more often in the past few months.
Since nothing happened, they both went back into the house.

Mangled deer discovered: woman in Moosburg makes a gruesome find in the garden
As a result, the responsible hunter, Georg Meilinger, was alerted.
Based
on the
injuries to
the
deer carcass, he
could only guess: “From my point of view, it was probably a medium-sized or large dog.
Because if it had been a small one, it would kill the deer too, but it couldn't
eat that
much
game meat
in that short time
. "
So if it was a dog, its owner must have
noticed
the
blood
on the four-legged friend.
Normally one is then obliged
to report
such
game damage
, explains the forest tenant.
However, many
dog owners
would not have taken out liability insurance for their pet and would therefore prefer to remain silent.
Normally, dogs
would not catch
a
deer
at all, but on fenced off premises it is possible that the
game could
have been cornered and thus torn, according to Meilinger.

The gruesome incident happened at night in the middle of a family's private garden.

Who mauled the deer?
Residents in Moosburg are puzzled
A game
camera
was finally
set up
together with the house owner
.
If the perpetrator returns to continue
eating, he
could be caught red-handed.
According to Georg Meilinger, this is rather unlikely: “I normally dispose of the
deer.
I will refrain from filing a complaint against strangers because that will not help. "
Rather, the hunter wants to make sure in the evenings in the near future that "in our area dogs are only leashed outside, or that the
dog owners
are aware of this", as Georg Meilinger said.
Because: "This is the only way to absolutely prevent the animals' innate hunting instinct from getting through."
It happens again and again - and it is terrible every time: In Polling, too, a dog has probably bitten a deer to death.
A very similar case recently caused a stir.
