There are shocking recordings that are said to have come from a stable in the Feldkirch district of Vorarlberg. Cattle standing in excrement centimeters high, or on meters high mountains of silage foil waste, with a dead animal in between with its head between bars. The association against animal factories demands drastic consequences. Because the company is already known to the authorities.
According to the VGT, a resident would have taken the photos in the stable. It shows cows and calves with thick layers of faeces on their fur. The floor of the stable is also very dirty. The video also shows a calf standing on meters high waste in the barn – the mountains in particular are said to be made of plastic cords and foil. The danger that animals can injure themselves or eat parts of it is criticized.
The cadaver of a cow was also captured on film. This one lies on the ground, the head of the deceased animal is clamped between bars. How it came to death is unclear. There are also animals outside the barn that are not housed in a way that suits their species. Two dogs are in a kennel, two rabbits are also in separate boxes, the VGT complains.
Already controls by the authorities for keeping chickens
The farm was already in the crosshairs of the authorities, so there was an inspection a few weeks ago. There was criticism at the time of locking up some chickens, it is said. But that didn’t change the other grievances.
In any case, there is uncertainty about the fate of the animals, because the owners would have sold the stable in the meantime. An immediate removal of animals is therefore required, a complaint has already been filed. “The animals urgently need to be rescued from this farm before more animals die,” said Vorarlberg VGT campaigner Sandy P. Peng.
