Unterallgäu police investigate animal welfare incident

Police and the Unterallgäu veterinary office have launched an investigation following an animal welfare intervention on a sheep pasture. The incident was triggered by reports from the animal protection group 'Team Hörmann', who provided evidence via a witness video suggesting potential welfare violations.

Upon arrival, authorities consulted a veterinarian, and a sheep was subsequently euthanized. Animal rights activists described the animal's condition as a 'mega-extraordinary' pattern of injury or illness, though specific details remain withheld due to the ongoing investigation. The district administration's press office indicated that the investigation is looking into whether the owner failed to provide timely or sufficient care for the sick animal.
