Tracking attacks by animals
In the event of a present threat to public safety posed by animals, either the police (tel: 110) or the emergency services (tel: 112) must be informed immediately. Otherwise, the competent regulatory authority must be notified.
Description
If animals (domestic animals and wild animals) are currently endangering public safety, you should immediately inform either the police on 110 or the emergency services on 112.
