In the district of Neusiedl am See, a common buzzard was illegally shot. This was confirmed by investigations from the University of Veterinary Medicine Vienna, after the leg of a common buzzard was found during a preventive search operation at the beginning of March. Bullet fragments were discovered in the bird of prey's leg. The operation was conducted jointly by the Federal Criminal Police Office, the State Police Directorate, and the State Criminal Police Office Burgenland, as well as WWF and BirdLife Austria.
On March 5, two hunting grounds in the district of Neusiedl am See, which had been affected by illegal shootings in the past, were searched. "In addition to a suitcase trap and several carcasses of huntable animals, we found the leg of a common buzzard in a shelterbelt. We secured it and sent it for examination," explained Martin Ivancsics from the environmental group of the State Criminal Police Office Burgenland on Tuesday in a press release.
The findings further confirmed the necessity of preventive action against wildlife crime, it was stated.
