the kangaroo and its uncertain origin

In the northern German community of Hemmoor in the district of Cuxhaven, a run -down kangaroo causes a sensation. The exact circumstances under which the animal has found its way into the outside are so far unclear. It was discovered on Thursday morning, but according to reports it has been moving through the area for a few days.

The role of the community

The police emphasize that citizens can play a crucial role in the search for the animal. "We hope for the help of the population," said a police spokesman. When viewing the kangaroos, people should not hesitate to report immediately. Solidarity and theory of animal welfare standards could come together: Finding a run -down animal is not only seen as an individual responsibility, but also as a common act.

The incident also raises questions about the private attitude of exotic animals. In Germany, under certain conditions, it is allowed to keep kangaroos in your own garden without having to obtain explicit approval. The legally required species conservation standards state that the property must be sufficiently secured and that a species -appropriate attitude must be guaranteed in order to ensure the well -being of the animal. "Ownership is not prohibited, but there are prerequisites," said the police spokesman.

Search campaigns of the police

Police officers have already contacted animal pensions and the local zoo; However, no evidence of the missing kangaroo could be given. It is likely that it is a pet that has run out of a private owner. The circumstances and the lack of an official reporting system make the identification of the owner complicated.

The meaning of this incident

The case of the run -down kangaroos not only illustrates the challenges in the area of animal welfare, but also stimulates a broader discussion about the use and attitude of exotic animals in private households. In view of the current Situation, the need for a clear set of rules to control private animal husbandry is becoming increasingly visible in order to offer animals such as this kangaroo a safe habitat.
