In the case of the hunter who accidentally shot a pony in Neulengbach, in the Lower Austrian district of St. Pölten, the St. Pölten public prosecutor's office will not initiate an investigation.
"No criminal offence has been committed," said Leopold Bien, the spokesperson for the prosecution authority, on Tuesday in response to an APA inquiry. The hunter had mistaken the animal for a wild boar on the evening of December 26, 2024, according to his statements.
The incident occurred in the village of Schwertfegen. According to the hunting association, the man had used a night vision aid. The shot pony had to be euthanised.
