???????? Moselle. A donkey shot dead with a shotgun bullet, an investigation opened

This Friday, October 18, a resident of Rohrbach-lès-Bitche experienced a tragic discovery: her donkey was killed by a hunting rifle bullet. The animal, which was on land adjoining its owner’s house, near the Guisberg forest, was killed in circumstances that are still unclear. A complaint was filed with the local gendarmerie, and the Rohrbach brigade is in charge of the investigation to identify the perpetrator of the shooting.

This incident, which occurred in the D110F sector, caused excitement in the town. The authorities are actively seeking to understand the reasons for this shooting and to determine whether it was a voluntary act or an accident. The animal, well known in the neighborhood, was popular with neighbors, which reinforces the shock and sadness of this event. The investigation will also have to establish whether hunting safety measures were respected near inhabited areas.

The donkey’s owner expressed her anger and dismay at this act. This is not the first time that incidents involving domestic animals and hunting have occurred in this region close to the forest, where safety rules are sometimes neglected.

The authorities are calling for caution and respect for hunting rules to prevent such tragedies from happening again. The ongoing investigation should shed light on the exact circumstances of the animal’s death, and sanctions could be considered against the culprit.
