Vaiana and many other animals were found in devastating circumstances. The animals had to eke out an existence among their dead conspecifics and had little hope that they would survive this ordeal. The authorities finally ordered a confiscation and brought them to safety for the time being. The Austrian daily newspaper "Krone" reported on this terrible case. Readers of the "Animal Corner" column eventually contacted the newspaper and pleaded for the lives of the animals, which might otherwise have been slaughtered. Gut Aiderbichl was able to make it possible for the animals to be taken in. Vaiana got the chance for a new life with her new name!
