Outside the holidays, the animals are provided by the students. The chicks were hatched with heat lamps and the rabbits came from a shelter. “The children are naturally very fond of the animals. How are we going to explain this to them? We have to think about that now.”
The director is shocked that someone has been able to walk to the hinges. “Our temporary building is a square with an inner garden in the middle, the animals stayed there. So you really have to know that they are there. I don’t know what is narrower, someone who does this on a whim or that you think it in advance.”
Evacuated
The remaining eight chickens and the last rabbit were immediately transferred to other places where they are safer. “That is an interim solution,” explains Veldhuizen. “We now have to think about how we can prevent this in the future. We prefer to keep the animals of course, but they must be able to stay safely with us.”
It is not clear when exactly the murder took place. The police are looking for camera images and witnesses that may have seen something between Tuesday morning and this morning in the vicinity of the school on the Kinheim.
The police placed the call below on social media.
