Hungarian Vizsla dog killed by a jackal in Hungary!

The Hunting Association of Dorozsma held a traditional New Year’s hunting when a jackal attacked and killed one of the hunters’ Hungarian Vizsla. The tragic case was reported on the Facebook site of Nimród Hunter.

The attack happened on Saturday afternoon. Szikra, the short-haired Hungarian Vizsla came out of a ditch, when the jackal jumped out of the five-foot grass and grabbed him by his throat. The dog drowned within a few minutes.

The jackal tried to attack the hunters as well. According to a hunter, the attack happened so close to them that there was no opportunity to shoot the predator; they could not endanger human lives. After the offence, the aggressive jackal immediately disappeared.

Szikra’s owner said that the whole family is mourning as they profoundly loved the 7-year-old dog whose work was irreplaceable. Szikra grew up with his children; he was a beloved member of the family and a good hunting buddy.

The expert also added that – “The case perfectly demonstrates that jackal is a murderous predator. Its strength, courage and aggressiveness are more intensive than we previously thought, as it chose to kill instead of the possibility to escape.”
