Viennese MA48 employee saves turtle out of the trash!

When the waste disposal on Diehlgasse in the 5th district of Vienna, the MA48 employees made an amazing discovery last Wednesday: a living turtle was disposed of in one ton with other garbage. The 35-year-old MA48 employee noticed the animal and immediately acted. He took the turtle out of the bin, provided them with water and ensured that she received the attention and care she needed.

The turtle, which lovingly got the name "Mülli", was spoiled by the colleagues of the employee with fresh strawberries and salad. However, it remains unclear who thrown the animal into the garbage can and for what reason. Such incidents throw a sharp light on the responsibility of pet owners and how to deal with animals in our society.
