A woman in Ucka has been torturing dogs for years, charged with 47 felonies.

A 77-year-old Croatian woman has been indicted by the Rijeka Municipal State Prosecution for allegedly committing 47 criminal acts related to the abuse and killing of animals. According to the indictment, between 2022 and May 9, 2026, she and her now-deceased partner kept various dogs in poor conditions, restricting their movement, withholding food and water, and keeping them in unhygienic environments. The prosecution claims the animals were malnourished, injured, and in serious health decline due to lack of veterinary care. The case gained national attention in May after the death of a 64-year-old man in a traffic accident revealed horrific conditions at his property on Učka. Despite being known publicly as someone who rescued and adopted dogs, the man was found to have kept dozens of neglected animals living in filth, without proper food or medical care. During the investigation, 47 dogs and six cats were found on the property and later taken into care, while numerous dog carcasses in various stages of decomposition were discovered inside the house, including some stored in refrigerators and bathrooms. Volunteers involved in rescuing the animals described the scenes as among the

Charges have been filed against a woman in the Ucka case. 47 dogs and 30 carcasses were found.

A 77-year-old woman has been indicted for animal cruelty after authorities discovered 47 live dogs and approximately 30 dead animals at her property in Vele Učka. The indictment alleges that she and her deceased partner kept the dogs in extremely poor conditions between 2022 and May 2026, including inadequate food and water, restricted movement, and unsanitary living spaces without proper veterinary care. The case was uncovered following a traffic accident in which her partner died. Veterinarians were initially prevented from entering the home but eventually received 47 live dogs and two dead ones through a window. Further investigation revealed decomposing animal remains stored in boxes, a freezer, and a bathtub, along with significant waste and debris inside the house. Authorities had previously monitored the couple nine years ago in Kostrena for similar issues.
