Employees save turtle from garbage can in Vienna – little animal saved!
In the heart of Vienna, more precisely in Diehlgasse in the 5th district, a strange spectacle was presented: an MA48 employee discovered a live turtle in a garbage can. Amidst his duties of maintaining cleanliness in public spaces, this incident brought a touch of excitement into everyday life. As Heute reports, the worker reacted quickly and saved the animal from its unfortunate situation.
The turtle, who was christened “Mülli”, immediately received loving care. Water, strawberries and fresh salad were on the menu so that she could quickly recover from her shock. However, the circumstances of their discovery raise some questions. It remains unclear who so carelessly threw these lively little housemates into the trash and why this happened.
An appeal for animal protection
In such situations it is important to be informed. If pets are found or lost, animal lovers can contact the veterinary office and animal protection hotline on +43 1 4000-8060. This hotline is available 24/7 and is available to help.
The incident with Mülli brings us back to an important issue: animal welfare. In Vienna, animal lovers have many opportunities to find a new home for a pet or to find an animal friend. Interested animal lovers can find all the information about adopting dogs, cats and small animals on the [Tierschutz Austria] website (https://www.tierschutz-austria.at/tiervwerbung/).
Looking for a new friend
Anyone thinking about giving a dog or cat a new home should first fill out an online questionnaire. This step simplifies contact and helps to find suitable animals. The animal placement team is also available to answer specific questions and is available from Wednesday to Sunday from 1:30 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. However, in order to book an appointment to get to know each other, it is essential to contact us in advance by phone or email.
The individual steps for adoption are clearly regulated and it is important that potential pet owners are well informed. Visiting the site to view the animals is not possible for organizational reasons, but the team is available to answer any questions about animal welfare and animal adoption.
Mülli's story is food for thought for everyone to do more for our animal companions and to take responsibility. Everyone can contribute, whether through adoption, supporting animal welfare projects or simply by sharing information.
