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 of surviving this ordeal themselves. The authorities ultimately ordered the animals to be confiscated and brought to safety for the time being. The Austrian daily newspaper "Krone" reported on this terrible case. Readers of the "Animal Corner" section finally contacted the newspaper and pleaded for the lives of the animals, which might otherwise have been slaughtered. Gut Aiderbichl was able to take in the animals. Vaiana was given the chance of a new life with her new name!
