Rescue for Rehkitz Ayla: Police and fire brigade in action!

On Sunday evening, the Rehkitz found alone and helplessly found on the roadside on Sunday evening was the center of a remarkable police operation. A young girl discovered the trembling animal and took it home, out of ignorance of the behavior of deer, who go for food during the day and return at dusk. The Bremen police clarified the girl's concerned family that a smell of people too strong can lead to the Rehmm Kälber no longer recognized.

The family then contacted the police and a hunter gave valuable tips to calm the fawn. A cool, dark environment was created with a fan and switching off the light, and the fawn was wrapped in a ceiling fragrant in nature. At the original location, the fuss showed fear, but the use of a firefighter from Celle and the courageous measures ensured that the Kitz was finally released into freedom with the name "Ayla", which means "moonlight". This moving rescue operation not only speaks for the commitment of the helpers involved, but is also a sign of the importance of animal welfare during the current roe period.

The risk of mowing death

This day, many deer gives birth to their boys and put the little fawn on meadows and fields. However, these areas pose the risk of the so -called mowing death, especially by tractors that the animals could accidentally run over. Animal rights activists and hunters have long since set up rescue missions to secure the calves in need of protection. In Bavaria, for example, the use of drones is currently being promoted with thermal imaging cameras in order to discover and save fawns in good time. Such drones are part of a federal funding program that was created by the Federal Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Home (BMLEH) to protect the wild animals from dangerous accidents.

funding and new regulations

To support the purchase of drones, the BMLeh provides up to 2.5 million euros as part of the digitization strategy. District hunting clubs and fawn rescue associations are therefore eligible to apply, which specifically devote themselves to the rescue of wild animals. Unfortunately, the application deadline for the funding year 2025 ended on June 17, 2025, so that interested clubs had to act quickly. From November 20, 2024, new regulations for the operation of drones for animal welfare purposes will also apply in order to make the monitoring and rescue of the fawn even more efficient.

The measures and information collected once again show how important animal welfare and the right behavior in dealing with wild animals are, especially in the high season of the deer. Both the individualistic rescue campaigns on site and the provision of modern technology to support these efforts are essential to protect these animals worth protecting In summary in Burglesum and beyond, we have seen an impressive answer to the challenges that nature and human activity for the fawn population. It remains to be hoped that such actions will never lose importance.
