Holidaymakers save lamb from mud - an animal adventure on Sylt!

List, Deutschland - vacationers on the popular North Sea island of Sylt not only discovered fantastic beaches and relaxing landscapes, but also demonstrated a heart for animals. On May 31, 2025, a vacationer found a lamb that was in need during his photo tour that stuck in the mud. A Danish couple supported him in a selfless act, and together they managed to free the lamb from its predicament. Despite its thick mud dress, the animal was physically healthy and trembling in the meadow.

After the rescue, the vacationer made a farewell picture with the lamb, while rain was announced for the rest of the evening, which could help to wash off the dirt and clean the animal. However, this warm story of helpfulness stands out from the shocking incident, which took place on April 25th in List on the Mövenbergdeich.

a sad incident at List

In this region, which is known for its shine and glamor, visitors experienced a tragic incident. A husky mixer tore off from the long leash and attacked a lamb. The animal was brutally attacked and "literally torn". Despite the on -site regulation, this was done that dogs have to be led to short leash. A complaint against the dog owner was therefore filed for violation of paragraph 20 of the dog law.

The regulatory office is currently examining whether the dog has already been noticeable in the past and further steps are initiated in coordination with the home authority of the dog owner. The incident triggered heated discussions on Facebook, in which many users demanded higher penalties for dog owners. A user even brought the idea of ​​a "dog driver's license" for Germany to avoid similar incidents in the future.

These two stories that have shaped the last few weeks on the island show both the beauty and the challenges with which vacationers and residents are faced with this popular holiday region.
