It’s a nightmare that Carole, the owner of a chihuahua, never thought she would have to live. Chipie, his 5-year-old dog, was suddenly taken away by a raptor three days ago, while she was walking in her garden in Ham-sur-Heure-Nalinnes. She explains to our colleagues from RTL Info, that a bird, probably a buzzard, suddenly attacked Chipie, thereby carrying her into the air several meters high. “The animal was screaming, screaming. We went to the neighboring property to rescue my little dog. But unfortunately she succumbed to injuries. she explains to our colleagues from RTL Info. The raptor has indeed released its prey in the neighbor’s garden before finishing it off with several pecks.
But how to explain such an incident? You should know that buzzard attacks are quite common during the summer. To feed their young, the birds of prey prey on small animals, normally wild… It should be noted that Chipie weighed only 2.6 kg. Another hypothesis could be that a bird in captivity could have fled from its owners. In fact, more and more individuals have birds of prey in their homes, such as owls for example.
“Our pets are like our children, we love them. We absolutely do not expect them to be removed in this way. We think we see that in the series… It’s unfair, and completely mind-boggling”, said Carole, completely devastated by the loss of her dog who has since been cremated.
