Secret slaughter: Man kills sheep in garage without anesthesia
In a scandalous incident in Blaustein near Ulm, a 38-year-old illegally slaughtered a sheep - without any anesthesia. A few days ago, witnesses observed several people pulling a live sheep out of the trunk of a car and dragging it into a garage. They alerted the police because of the suspicious behavior. When officers arrived, the sheep was already dead, reports said stern.de.
During the subsequent questioning, the man confessed to the crime without showing even a shred of insight. Together with his 41-year-old wife, he tried to remove the traces of the slaughter. It remains unclear whether the livestock dealer from Münsingen from whom the sheep was purchased knew about the illegal slaughter. The police have started an investigation against the man for violating the Animal Welfare Act and are also calling on witnesses to come forward if they have any information about the cattle dealer. Anyone interested can contact the police on 0731/188-3812 Schwäbische.de reported.
Animal protection law under pressure
What are the exact provisions of the Animal Welfare Act? This law is intended to protect all animals and prohibits the infliction of avoidable pain, suffering or harm without reasonable cause. Animals, including those such as dogs and cats, are defined as fellow creatures that can feel pain. Animal protection violations are prosecuted both under animal protection law and, if appropriate circumstances exist, under the Criminal Code. Nevertheless, there are always reports of serious violations of animal welfare, especially on farms, he explains Animal Welfare Association.
The question always arises as to whether the current animal protection law offers sufficient protection. Critics are calling for greater levels of transparency and stricter measures against animal cruelty, particularly in agriculture. These incidents, like the one in Blaustein, shine a sharp light on the gaps and inadequacies inherent in the law.
