My comment: I don’t know what the US Animal Welfare Act says, but here the law says that anyone who tortures an animal or kills it for no good reason can be punished with up to three years imprisonment under the Animal Welfare Act.
But this penalty is practically never imposed for animal welfare violations in factory farming.
Often times there is not even a charge.
What takes place in the Wisconsin Farm is not uncommon here in Germany and in Europe in general.
17/12 – We have had the following in to us from SAFE, New Zealand.
They have achieved major wins legally for animals over the last few weeks; now it is time to ramp up the pressure even more and get the government to act.
From SAFE:
We achieved victory for mother pigs, now we need Government action
Today SAFE and the New Zealand Animal Law Association (NZALA) have published a full-page open letter in the New Zealand Herald, asking the Prime Minister to appoint a Commissioner for Animals.
Last month, the High Court found that the Minister of Agriculture and his advisors from the National Animal Welfare Advisory Committee (NAWAC) acted illegally when they failed to phase out farrowing crates and mating stalls for mother pigs.
