It is a discovery that causes horror and outrage just by looking at it: near the Kölnbrein dam near Malta (Carinthia), a group of hikers found an entire herd of sheep - dead. Was a change in the weather the cause of death?

The hiking group that discovered the 30 or so sheep carcasses near the Kölnbrein dam is shocked: "The animals must have been lying here for some time. Of course, we immediately reported our find to the authorities."
