The animal police went to the apartment after concerns were reported about the welfare of the resident and the rabbits present. At that time, the officers did not yet know the exact number of animals. In the home, they eventually counted no less than 26 snouts. The rabbits were thin, had poor coats, and were kept in unsuitable conditions. Therefore, the animal police seized all 26. The animals were transferred to a shelter location where they are being cared for. Care has also been arranged for the resident.
Animal Seized
What happens next with an animal seized by the police? Seized animals are placed in special shelter locations. Not everyone can just take in a seized animal: these shelter holders have contracts with the government and must meet certain requirements. At the shelters, the animals receive proper care and a safe place. What happens to an animal afterward depends on various factors. Consider the reason the animal was seized and what emerges from the investigation into possible criminal offenses. The Public Prosecution Service or a judge ultimately decides the fate of the animal: whether the animal can return to its owner or if another owner must be found.
