Animal welfare - Jogger finds abandoned puppies in park
In a park in northern Hessian Vellmar, nine puppies have been abandoned. A jogger discovered the whimpering animals on the grass in the night, wrapped them in his T-shirt for warmth, and took them to the nearest police station, the Kassel police announced. Officers drove the puppies, estimated to be only a few days old and unable to open their eyes, to a veterinary clinic in a patrol car. The person who had abandoned the puppies in the Ahnepark was initially unknown. The police are investigating due to a violation of animal protection law and hope for witnesses' tips.
