a kangaroo on the run in Lower Saxony

Stade (ots)

An unexpected event has attracted the attention of the residents in the Stade district: a kangaroo that was obviously abandoned was discovered after it was hidden for several weeks. This raises questions that go beyond the mere sensation and initiate a broader discussion about animal welfare and the responsibility of the animal owners.

The discovery of the kangaroos

The animal was originally spotted several times in the adjacent district of Cuxhaven at the end of July, but it remained on the run for a long time. Finally it was found in the afternoon of August 27th in the velvet community of Northkehdingen in Oederquart Doesemoor. Here it had strayed on a fermented orchard where the owner discovered the alleged outlier and alerted the police.

The safe catch

The saving intervention came from a zoo director and a veterinarian of the Wingster Waldzoo, which were called on site. The kangaroo could finally be stunned and caught with the help of the police and the regulatory office. This underlines the need for trained staff in order to act professionally and safely in such situations.

The new place of life

After a veterinary examination, the kangaroo is now sent in a converted dog box that was prepared for transport, on the trip to the Serengetipark in Hodenhagen. The park had agreed to offer the animal a new home. This rescue operation is not only a positive example of animal welfare activities, but also shows the solidarity of zoo in the absorption of homeless animals.

uncertain origin

Despite these positive developments, the question remains open where the kangaroo comes from and who is its original owner. So far, the puzzle has not been solved, which indicates the problem that many animals in Germany are kept uncontrolled. This could also indicate a lack of awareness of animal husbandry and their challenges.

conclusion and outlook

The incident not only deals with the fate of a single animal, but also reflects significant social issues. Animal welfare and responsible animal husbandry should be increasingly discussed in the population. Public relations via such events may prevent future similar cases and promote understanding of the needs of animals.
