An anonymous person called the head of one of the Zgorzelec associations caring for animals and reported that a resident of one of the villages in Bolesławiec County had locked his dog in a kennel and barricaded its entrance with a plank. An activist from the organization notified the Bolesławiec police.

At the scene, it turned out that the dog had indeed been trapped in the kennel. The owner of the four-legged animal explained that his pet kept running away and that he had locked it up while he was away.

The man claimed that he had done this for the first time and that the dog had been locked up for only approximately one hour.

The dog’s owner was charged with improperly keeping an animal.
