In the event of a current threat to public safety from animals, either the police (110) or the integrated regional control centers (112) must be informed immediately. Otherwise, the responsible regulatory authority must be informed.

If animals (domestic or wild) are currently endangering public safety, in particular people, other animals or road safety, you should immediately inform either the police by calling 110 or the integrated regional control centers by calling 112.
