Animal euthanized
Shot at pony: No preliminary proceedings
Following the tragic death of a pony in Lower Austria, which was shot by a hunter on St. Stephen's Day - and subsequently had to be euthanized - it is now clear that no preliminary proceedings will be initiated in this sad case.
The incident took place in the village of Schwertfegen in Neulengbach in the district of St. Pölten. The hunter shot the animal, which he thought was a wild boar, with the aid of a night sight, according to the hunting association.
No criminal offense was committed.
Leopold Bien, Sprecher der Anklagebehörde
The pony's injuries were so severe that it ultimately had to be put down. As the St. Pölten public prosecutor's office announced on Tuesday, no preliminary proceedings will be initiated. "No criminal offense has been committed," said Leopold Bien, spokesman for the prosecution.
