But he also downplayed the incident in a second interview with the RTBF – VRT francophone equivalent. "I feel we wanted to sensationalize and that is exaggerated.

The alderman – the deputy mayor – in charge of animal welfare, Luc Bungeneers, filed a complaint, as well as the association of animal rights Gaia. The case took a political turn unexpected: it is indeed the outgoing socialist municipality which authorized the shooting, and complained that elected a member of the Flemish nationalist party N-VA won the municipal elections in October .
