Incredible: woman throws cats out of the car while driving!

In the Bavarian Kirchdorf am Inn, an incident causes excitement that not only makes animal rights activists take notice. On July 13, 2025, a small cat was thrown out of a moving car. The vehicle that came from Bulgaria was on the road from Braunau am Inn towards Kirchdorf when the 35-year-old passenger, a Romanian, threw the cat out of the window. The reason for this incomprehensible act was the absence of necessary papers and proof of vaccination for the animal. When the federal police set up a control point, the woman reacted panicked and acted tragically to get rid of the animal. Due to this incident, the local police in Simbach am Inn included a procedure under the Animal Welfare Act and administrative offenses due to lack of documents and vaccinations.

Animal protection law and responsibility of the owners

in Austria, as in Germany, pet owners are obliged to respect the needs of their animals. The Animal Welfare Act stipulates that animals must be protected against damage, suffering, pain and fears. Responsible attitude means that keeper maintains the physical and mental health of your animals. This also includes that the animals are fed, nourished, maintained and employed. For example, cats must have retreat and employment opportunities, such as climbing and scratching opportunities. A sufficient habitat is also essential - at least 50 square meters are required for a cat, at least 60 square meters for two cats. In addition, each cat has its own feces to respect their dignity and avoid stress.

These regulations are important to secure the well -being of the animals. Animal welfare organizations and pet owners are therefore asked to adhere to the legal requirements in order to avoid such incidents as in Kirchdorf. Halter should take a look at the individual needs of their cats. This not only includes adequate accommodation, but also daily employment and medical care.

The consequences and reactions

The incident has triggered a strong echo for the animal welfare associations. "We all have to work together to raise awareness of the protection of animals," says a spokesman for a local animal welfare association. The protection of animals and their dignity is of the highest priority. The incident impressively shows that there is often a lack of knowledge and sensitivity in dealing with animals. It is time that such practices are no longer tolerated.

The small cat, which is now to be temporarily housed in the animal shelter, could hope for a better future despite this difficult fate. It remains to be hoped that teachings will be drawn from this incident and that such actions can be prevented in the future in order to further strengthen animal welfare.
