Veterinarians were forced to kill a stray dog ​​that appeared in mysterious circumstances on a cattle ranch 35 kilometers from the ocean coast. On the south coast of Victoria.

However, the facility’s head of veterinary medicine, Dr Michael Lynch, said the matter should be ended after the sea dog suffered major injuries while trying to return to the ocean, as reported by the British newspaper, the Daily Mail.

He said: “Today’s intervention was required after the sea dog failed to find its way back to the open ocean along the same path that it used to reach the farm.” Euthanasia would have been the best outcome for him, because he would not be able to forage and live normally in the wild.”

The zoo had previously advised people to avoid contact with the sea dog in the hope that it would follow the same path it took to the farm and back to the water, and a video of the sea dog wandering in the field for the first time appeared on social media last Tuesday.

The bizarre footage showed him wriggling in the wet grass as cattle stood back and stared at him. “Seal watching out of the water is common at this time of year,” said Aaron Machado, of Marine Wildlife Rescue Australia. “For an animal this small, when it walks 50 meters away from the water, it turns around and can’t see the water anymore, so they keep walking.”
