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

As reported, we received disturbing images from a Styrian pigsty. However, there are currently no reports of animal cruelty. According to the Association Against Animal Factories, this shows, above all, in a shocking way, “how much animal suffering is already seen as normal.” The well-known Graz lawyer Gerald Ruhri also shoots sharply against the system.

A pig that has a horrible bleeding wound that other pigs are already nibbling on; The injured animal has no chance of escaping due to the limited space. An animal with a huge tumor on its neck. Wounds on the ears, scratches all over the body. These photos from 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 The company, which had been awarded the AMA seal of quality, was initially withdrawn. But: It shouldn’t be long before he could be allowed to run it again. According to AMA, after an unannounced inspection (which was of course foreseeable), some injured animals were correctly separated into sick bays. The pig with the catastrophic giant wound was treated the day after the photo was taken. Spokeswoman Kristijana Lastro: “We’re now waiting to see what the authorities come up with.” Probably not much. In any case, there is no animal cruelty, Leibniz district captain Manfred Walch apparently already knows the future. And according to the APA, as an expert, he concludes that “on the whole not much came of it”. Only deficiencies in the employment area were identified. Given the shocking wounds, the huge tumor (which cannot appear overnight), the many scratches, that seems to be the case a mockery of the animals. There are currently no reports of animal cruelty; the official veterinarians have not identified any deficiencies in accordance with the Animal Welfare Act. Scratches are also normal and consequences of the “tussle that can be attributed to the group,” says Agriculture Regional Councilor Simone Schmiedtbauer “Which means nothing other than that we now see animal suffering as normal,” says David Richter from the VGT, stunned. And asks: “And what about cutting off tails, which you’re not allowed to do?” He accuses : Here the authority checks itself and gave itself a good certificate. The photos, see above, speak a different language. In view of the findings, the well-known Graz lawyer Gerald Ruhri, who fights for animal protection, is running a full program: “In general: How Should official veterinarians also admit grievances in areas for which they themselves are responsible? The responsible state politician would have to immediately file a complaint against his own people for abuse of office. In any case, that would have to be checked by an independent commission that has no interests of its own!” As reported, he has the AMA and its guarantee promises checked, but goes one step further: “I asked an independent veterinarian to examine the animals’ wounds based on the To judge photos and say how long it takes to create them. In any case, it won’t happen overnight.” There are now allegations against those who exposed it. Who knows whether the photos are even identical? Discrediting can also have a system.
