A passenger was traveling on a PKP train with an unruly companion. They had to get off
Animals travelling with people on trains are no surprise to anyone. However, not all of them are as popular as dogs, cats or guinea pigs. A woman getting into a carriage with a sheep caused a sensation.
An unusual situation took place at the central station in Warsaw. It was there that Alice Day showed up with a ram on a leash. The animal was wearing a diaper and seemed calm. The woman had purchased a seat in a first-class PKP carriage and intended to use it. At first, the conductor did not want to let her in, but in the end everything worked out. The other passengers were not happy with this turn of events.
Baran traveled first class
It started well, but it quickly became clear that the ram was a bit unruly. Passengers sent photos of the animal to the TVN Kontakt 24 editorial office and reported that the animal was running, bleating, chewing shoes and polluting the carriage with excrement. Unfortunately, this type of behavior increasingly irritated the passengers and the conductor. The ram’s owner failed to keep a sufficient eye on her pet.
“When the animal soiled the train for the third time, the conductor lost her patience, approached the woman and informed her that in five minutes the train would stop in Szepietowo and she was forced to ask her to leave the train together with the animals,” one of the witnesses described the incident. He also reported that at first the situation seemed funny, but over time it began to become annoying.
It should be added that in addition to the ram, the woman also had a dog with her. Together with the animals, she was supposed to reach Białystok, where she lives, but she ended up 40 minutes from her destination. Her journey took 1.5 hours.
Maciej Dutkiewicz, a spokesman for PKP, commented on the passenger being asked to leave the train. “If the regulations regarding the transport of animals are broken and the animal, for example, starts making a mess, then the conductor has the right to ask the owner and the animal to leave the vehicle before the planned end of the journey,” he explained to the Kontakt 24 editorial team. He also informed that the ram itself should not be a problem, because it can be treated as a large dog.
The woman issued a statement
It turns out that the woman travels with the ram for a reason and this is not her first adventure in this style. She issued a statement on social media and revealed that she bought the ram on the border with Belarus and found it in an ad on OLX. She named him Shek. They have already traveled around Poland many times. Previously, the woman had a pig and a cow under her care because she wanted to save them from bad farms.
