Love for animals in danger: Horrific incidents shock Lower Saxony!
The upcoming episode of “Inspector with Whiskers” on Friday, July 18, 2025, will deal with the unfortunate suffering of animals after a stable fire in Bad Fallingbostel. This episode, directed by Thorsten Hapke, focuses not only on the circumstances of the incident, but also on the allegations against the organic farm. This situation raises questions about animal protection, which repeatedly causes discussions not only in Lower Saxony but nationwide. The show will air between 7:30 p.m. and 8:00 p.m., with a repeat following on Saturday, July 19, from 11:00 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. Responsibility here also lies in the hands of editorial director Eckhardt Reimann and production manager Wolfgang Feist, who carefully select the content.
Another touching moment will be the visit of the cat “Barney” to the Göttingen police. Lovingly petted by the officers, the cat ensures a good mood in the offices of the Presidium. His owner has given him a free run that places particular emphasis on dealing with animals. The show also deals with swimming accidents in the mudflats and a trip across Lower Saxony, which is designed in a funny and informative way.
Animal cruelty in the Göttingen district
A particularly frightening incident was discovered on May 3rd in the community of Gleichen. Passers-by found a cat seriously injured on a dirt road, like news38.de reports. Her head and tail had been severed with a sharp object, prompting police to investigate. The cat was released by its owner on Thursday, May 2nd. Such acts not only terrify the animal owners, but also the entire community, as investigators urgently appeal for information about the animal abusers. These can be reported by calling 05592 /927-420.
This incident joins a worrying number of animal cruelty cases reported in a database aninova.org shows. Animal welfare scandals are apparently not isolated cases, which highlights the need for awareness-raising measures.
Animal protection is an issue that not only affects politics, but also each and every one of us. The awareness initiatives are absolutely necessary to counteract such a trend and to ensure that animals in our environment are respected and treated well. Every measure, no matter how small, can make a big difference.
We hope that many viewers on Friday will immerse themselves in the world of animal life and become interested in the fates of the animals. “Inspector with Whiskers” offers the perfect opportunity to do this – be it for entertainment or to draw attention to grievances.
