Viva! Interwencje, acting on behalf of Animals' Angels, receives a dramatic phonecall concerning extremely poor maintenance conditions for the animals at a stable in Bialoleka and sends out its inspectors straight away.

The owner runs a kindergarten and the stable provides horse ride lessons for children during which they can visit a mini zoo with many exotic animal species.

The horses are not provided adequate stabling conditions, the animals in the mini zoo, like rabbits, goats and sheep are extremely crowded, and the boars are fed mud with oats. However, most shocking is the condition of German Shepherd dog Bratek, who has a severed tail. He has not been provided veterinary help for at least two weeks and is kept with an untreated bleeding piece of skinned tail bone. All this time, his condition must have been noticed by many children visiting the stable. Bratek is confiscated immediately and transported to a vet clinic for a complex surgery.

All other neglections are documented and the case is taken to the local veterinary service to be investigated. The team also reports the case to the proecutor.
