Heartless animal ejection: Luna rescued, but puppies Simba and Nala dead!

Heartless animal ejection: Luna rescued, but puppies Simba and Nala dead!

In Peine, Lower Saxony, the fate of abandoned animals continues to make headlines and cause great concern. The Peine and surrounding area animal welfare association has paid special attention to emergencies in the region in recent weeks. For example, a dog named Luna, who was found tied to a tree in Ilsede in June, was brought to the animal shelter. Passers-by noticed the animal's desperate condition and informed the police, who then acted quickly. Luna is a friendly and affectionate animal who was born in 2023 and already walks well on a collar. She needs a lot of exercise and mental activity, reports News38.

Unfortunately, there is also less positive news from the animal shelter. Two puppies, Simba and Nala, were also recently found in the area, but they met a sad fate. Due to their poor health, they had to be euthanized shortly after they were found. Both had to struggle with the dreaded infectious disease parvovirus. This highly contagious disease, which primarily affects unvaccinated young dogs, can cause severe vomiting and diarrhea and is often life-threatening. It is a viral disease that requires intensive veterinary treatment, explained Veterinarian Karlsruhe Durlach.

The animal welfare situation in Peine

The painful fate of Simba and Nala highlights the challenges that animal rights activists and the animal shelter in Peine face. In the recent past, several animals have been abandoned in a callous manner, putting additional strain on the already strained capacities of the animal welfare association. For example, animal shelter employees also found two boxes in the animal shelter's parking lot - inside were a cat and her four kittens, who were fortunately in good health. A week later, another box was discovered containing four puppies around eight to nine weeks old, also in good condition. These findings are both encouraging and worrying, it turns out Your wildlife.

In order to counteract the trend of abandonment, a so-called animal flap was set up in the Pein animal shelter in July 2021. This resounding invention enabled animals to be dropped off anonymously, meaning animal rights activists were immediately informed when an animal was dropped off. Despite initial encouragement and, above all, the need to avoid unwanted animals, the animal hatch had to be closed again a few months later due to the enormous rush and overload of the animal protection association. A clear indication of how urgent the problem of animal abandonment remains in the region.

Call for responsibility

Current developments once again illustrate how important it is to treat pets responsibly. As a society, we are required to actively support animal protection and advocate for the interests of animals. Whether through sponsorships, volunteer work in the animal shelter or donations - every opportunity counts to strengthen animal protection in Peine and the surrounding area. The fate of Luna, Simba and Nala should not have been in vain.
