Allgäu Dairy Farm Faces Renewed Animal Cruelty Allegations

Authorities investigate after undercover footage reveals alleged abuse at a farm previously implicated in a 2019 animal welfare scandal.

  • Police and state authorities conducted raids on multiple sites of a dairy farm in Bad Grönenbach, Heimertingen, and Kißlegg following allegations of animal cruelty.
  • The farm had been previously implicated in a 2019 scandal involving similar accusations, with legal proceedings from that case still pending.
  • The animal rights group 'Soko Tierschutz' provided covertly recorded video evidence showing alleged mistreatment, including improper handling of cattle and illegal use of electric devices.
  • Despite 24 inspections since January 2023, including seven focused on animal welfare, authorities reported no severe violations during official checks.
  • The Bayerische Kontrollbehörde is considering a ban on animal ownership and management for the farm's operator as investigations continue.
