Shock for a family in Markt Neuhodis in Burgenland: their beloved house tiger fell victim to poisoning. The tomcat “Benny” had only been outdoors for a short time and might have picked up something. The family suspects that an animal hater could be behind it and is now hoping for clues.
“Benny” had already been part of the family for 15 years, and everyone had taken the orange-and-white tabby tom into their hearts. All the more he is now being missed.
Cat was trembling in pain
As every day, his owner had let the four-legged friend out of the house in the morning so that he could go into the garden. About two hours later, she took the garbage outside and discovered the animal trembling in agony. The house tiger doubled over with convulsions, was bleeding from its mouth.
Suspicion of bait
It was immediately clear to the animal lover that poison had to be involved here. “Benny” could no longer be saved. He died in terrible agony.
Another case?
In addition, the woman then discovered a burned cat while bypassing Markt Neuhodis – it is clear to her that the two incidents are no coincidence: “Who is doing something so terrible?” She is now hoping for clues from the population. These can be reported to the police.
