Erftstadt - A brutal animal haters slammed into Lechenich: Here was a walker to a pond near the country's Castle Lechenich one dead blue heron. Unbelievable: The bird was a nail was driven through the neck.
The nearly 90 centimeters big beast was nailed to a thick branch, which was then driven through the ice of the pond. The police have since joined the investigation - because of animal cruelty.
After the initial assessments at the pond, officials did not want to rule out a bad assumption: When nailing the perpetrators or the heron from the branch, which has probably been alive.
At the lower part of the branch had been worn namely cortex. Presumably, the poor animal was still desperately trying to free themselves with claws and wings.
This is also another fund: On the banks of the pond says the police found remains of the spring. Presumably, the blue heron was caught here by the animal hater.
The animal could not be recovered from the pond, because the melting ice is not walkable. The hanging carcass remained as a sad time for a brutal cruelty to animals.
