The animals were supposed to be handed over to their new owners at various rest stops. The truck was stopped during a focus control, reported the Burgenland State Police Directorate on Monday. Numerous reports were filed.

Dog Not Fit for Transport

During the inspection of the Romanian transporter, which was supposed to drive to Germany, the officers found that there was no valid transport license. In addition, three dogs had far too little space and one dog was not fit for transport at all due to its age. The truck was also heavily overloaded and was losing an excessive amount of oil in the engine area.

Hungarian Animal Transport Stopped

A Hungarian animal transport on its way to Germany was also stopped. Of the 13 dogs carried there, seven were heavily soiled with excrement. In this case too, there was no valid transport license and no approval for long-distance transport.

In total, 27 vehicles were checked during the focus action, with 18 security deposits collected and 11 reports issued under the Animal Transport Act. 52 reports were made due to technical defects, ten for overloading and 55 for other offenses.
