A resident of Wodzisław Śląski assured the policemen that her animals were not harmed. They decided to check. They found three emaciated dogs in the apartment. One lived in the basement, in a canary aviary, with no access to water or food. A woman faces three years in prison for animal abuse.
On April 19, the Wodzisław police e-mail received a report regarding extreme neglect of animals on one of the properties in Wodzisław Śląski. Neighbors went to the spot.
– The owner of the dogs, in an interview with the police, denied that any harm was done to her animals. She stated that the dogs are doing well and the intervention of the services is unjustified. However, the police decided to check the conditions in which the dogs live – describes Małgorzata Koniarska, spokeswoman for the Wodzisław Police
