Renewed Animal Cruelty Allegations Target Allgäu Dairy Farm

Authorities investigate a farm previously implicated in a 2019 animal welfare scandal following new evidence of potential abuse.

Police and state authorities conducted raids on a dairy farm in Bad Grönenbach, Heimertingen, and Kißlegg after allegations of animal mistreatment resurfaced.
The farm has been under scrutiny since 2019, when similar accusations of animal abuse were brought to light, leading to ongoing legal proceedings against its operators.
Recent undercover footage provided by the animal rights group 'Soko Tierschutz' reportedly shows violations, including improper handling of animals and illegal use of electric devices.
The Bayerische Kontrollbehörde für Lebensmittelsicherheit und Veterinärwesen (KBLV) has conducted 24 inspections since January 2023 but claims it did not find evidence matching the severity of the video footage.
Legal actions are being considered, including potential bans on livestock ownership for the operators, while the court process for the 2019 allegations remains unresolved.
