Mysterious theft: 80 rabbits disappear from Löffinger Hotel

A strange incident caused excitement in Löffingen (Breisgau-Hochschwarzwald): around 80 rabbits have disappeared without a trace. The police have initiated urgent investigations to clarify the circumstances of this atypical theft. What could initially appear as a small incident raises considerable questions and could indicate major problems in animal welfare.

The disappearance of the rabbits

The 80 rabbits that have been missing since July 15 have been removed from an enclosure near a hotel. Although there are no signs of an outbreak, the police assume theft. "It is very unlikely that the animals have simply escaped," said a police spokesman. The removal of 80 rabbits was hardly unnoticed because you need a large vehicle for this.

animal protection and close cooperation with authorities

The district office in Breisgau-Hochschwarzwald had already expressed concerns about animal husbandry in the enclosure. Veterinary staff have been on site several times and had indicated that the animals may have to be confiscated because their conditions were not satisfactory. It was planned to remove the rabbits on July 16, but now they are missing in the files of the police.

information from the community

Since the rabbits wore a pink marker, there are reports that some of them were spotted in the municipality of Lenzkirch, about 15 kilometers away. The animal protection association Löffingen carefully received these reports and tried to collect further information. "We always work with the police and official veterinary," explains Johannes Linnemann from the Animal Welfare Association. "It is important to us that we act transparently and cooperatively."

The role of residents and possible trends

The disappearance of the rabbits could be a sign of deeper problems in the region. It is worrying that animals that could be in a difficult situation anyway are exposed to another risk. Residents are asked to be attentive and report suspicious activities to prevent further incidents of this kind.

call for help

The police urgently search for witnesses who have observed suspicious activities in the area of the hotel. All information can be passed on to the police station in Löffingen or to the trade/environment of the Freiburg police headquarters. This is an important opportunity for the community to actively contribute to the protection of animals and act in solidarity.
