Causa around Mayr-Melnhof – animal rights activist convicted by a court of law

Because he provoked several shitstorms against state hunter Maximilian Mayr-Melnhof on Facebook and his blog, which resulted in hateful comments, the animal rights activist Martin Balluch from the “Association against animal factories” was convicted by the Salzburg regional court in January

. He has now failed to appeal to the Higher Regional Court. The judgment for “insult” and “defamation” is therefore final. In addition to a fine, he also has to pay compensation under the Media Act.
