Wemding (dpa / lby) - After two deer were killed in Swabia, the police are investigating unknown dog owners.

Hunting tenants reported on Tuesday, the police said on Wednesday.

"The background was the report of a walker who discovered a defaced dead deer in a meadow," the message said.

The animal was undoubtedly poached by a dog.

A dead deer with similar injuries was found last week.

The police are now looking for witnesses who have observed dogs hunting in the Wemding area (Donau-Ries district).
