Scandal on Lake Ammersee: Dead goats on the Auswhaienhof - public prosecutor's office determined!

After a shocking incident on the Ammersee-Western bank, the Augsburg public prosecutor's office has now investigated the dead goats on a goat. According to merkur.de , a total of 80 dead goats were found in May. This led to an advertisement by the Veterinary Office Landsberg, which expressed suspicion of a crime. The head of office, Dr. Michael Veith explained that the advertisement was filed for in accordance with Section 17 of the Animal Welfare Act. This paragraph provides sensitive punishments that range from prison sentences to three years to fines if animals are killed for no reasonable reason.

On May 6, the veterinary office discovered the dilapidated milk goats after it had received a hint. The cause of death is "multiple, strong neglect in all matters", which indicates blatant grievances in animal husbandry. In addition to the 80 dead animals, there are 41 goats in an emergency stable in Penzing, while the fate of the remaining around 80 animals remains uncertain. All goats belonged to the so -called "forwarding floor", which adorned himself with the motto "only the best for and from our goats". However, as sueddeutsche.de , the farm is now criticized.

In this context, the Landsberg district office issued a "livestock stop and livestock support" against the operators of the goat farm. These can object within a month, which raises the question of how such catastrophic conditions could occur. Up to the current status, the public prosecutor's office in Augsburg, according to chief prosecutor Dr. Andreas Dobler, no process in relation to this case until July 11th, which indicates delays when processing the ads.

What does this mean for animal welfare in our region? The Animal protection law applies to all animals and defines them as fellow creatures that feel pain and suffering. The law prohibits the addition of avoidable pain for no reasonable reason and also provides punishments in the event of disregard. But there are always reports on grievances in animal husbandry, and many animal rights activists demand revision of the laws to better protect the rights of animals.

animal protection cases such as this show the challenges that both the authorities and organizations in animal welfare meet. It remains to be hoped that the investigation will soon bring clarity over the background and that the well -being of the animals is in the foreground. Such incidents have to encourage us more than ever to think about the conditions of animal husbandry and to actively stand up for improvements.
