Munich - Animal cruelty video: Dog owners file criminal charges
Several dog owners have filed criminal charges for violating the Animal Welfare Act following the animal cruelty video and the investigation at a Munich kennel. They said they recognized their dogs from the video, a police spokesperson said on Wednesday. He was initially unable to say how many charges were involved.
A woman had discovered the video on a social network. It shows, among other things, people kicking frightened, screaming animals or dragging them across the room by their ears. She reported the incident to the police last Saturday. A police spokesperson was initially unable to confirm the authenticity of the footage on Wednesday. However, the video is part of the investigation. According to the police, a 29-year-old from the Dachau area is under investigation. He was questioned as a suspect, they said on Monday.
