Pig scandal – Graz’s top lawyer now appoints an external veterinarian

Date:

As reported, we received disturbing images of a Styrian pigsty. However, there are currently no reports of animal abuse. According to the Association Against Animal Factories, this shockingly shows “how much animal suffering is already seen as normal.” The well-known Graz lawyer Gerald Ruhri also takes sharp shots at the system.

A pig with a terrible bleeding wound that other pigs are already nibbling on; The injured animal has no chance to escape due to the limited space. An animal with a huge tumor in its neck. Wounds on the ears, scratches all over the body. These photos of a Styrian stable that keeps thousands of animals under one roof, which were leaked to the association against animal factories, shocked the general public. The company, which had been awarded the AMA quality seal, was initially withdrawn.

But: it shouldn’t be long before he can run it again. According to AMA, some injured animals were properly separated in sick areas after an unannounced inspection (which was of course foreseeable). The pig with the catastrophic giant wound was treated the day after the photo was taken. Spokeswoman Kristijana Lastro: “We are now waiting to see what the authorities come up with.”

Probably not much. In any case, there is no question of animal abuse, Leibniz district captain Manfred Walch apparently already knows the future. And according to the APA, he concludes as an expert that ‘on the whole, not much has come of it. Only employment shortcomings were identified. Considering the shocking wounds, the enormous tumor (which cannot appear overnight), the many scratches, that seems to be a travesty of animals.

There are currently no reports of animal cruelty; the official veterinarians have not found any defects in accordance with the Animal Welfare Act. Scratches are also normal and are a result of the “quarrel that can be attributed to the group”, says agricultural regional councilor Simone Schmiedtbauer. “Which means nothing other than that we now regard animal suffering as normal,” says David Richter of the VGT, bewildered. And asks: “And what about cutting off the tails, which is not allowed?” He accuses: Here the authority checks itself and gives itself a good report. The photos, see above, speak a different language.

In light of the findings, well-known Graz lawyer Gerald Ruhri, who fights for animal protection, implements a complete program: “In general: how should official veterinarians admit complaints in areas for which they themselves are responsible? The responsible state politician should immediately file a complaint against his own people for abuse of office. In any case, this should be investigated by an independent committee that has no interests of its own!”

As reported, he has the AMA and the warranty promises checked, but he goes one step further: “I asked an independent veterinarian to assess the wounds of the animals based on the photos and to say how long it took for them to develop. developed. In any case, it will not happen overnight.”

There are now accusations against those who exposed it. Who knows if the photos are even identical? Discrediting can also have a system.
