What specific actions and evidence triggered the investigation into animal abuse at the Allgäu farm?

In a large-scale farm in the Allgäu region of Germany, allegations of cattle abuse have led to searches of the farm by authorities. The police and public prosecutor's office are investigating the farm owner and employees for animal cruelty, based on evidence from animal rights activists. Authorities seized data and emphasize the presumption of innocence.", A2="The investigation stems from video evidence provided by animal rights activists to the Bavarian Control Authority for Food Safety and Veterinary Medicine (KBLV), depicting alleged abuse. The KBLV has conducted 24 inspections since January 2023, including seven focused on animal welfare, yet missed the abuse shown in videos. A separate administrative procedure against the farm owner is ongoing due to insufficient water for calves in summer 2024.", A3="This case highlights the limitations of current oversight in preventing animal abuse on large farms. Despite frequent inspections, serious mistreatment went undetected until video evidence emerged. The ongoing legal proceedings and potential future bans on animal husbandry underscore the severity of the allegations and the need for enhanced monitoring and enforcement of animal welfare regulations. The split trial and past convictions for some employees indicate a systemic issue that needs addressing.", Q1="What specific actions and evidence triggered the investigation into animal abuse at the Allgäu farm?", Q2="How frequently had the Bavarian Control Authority inspected the farm before the recent allegations surfaced, and what was the outcome of those inspections?", Q3="What are the potential long-term consequences for the farm owner and the farm's operation, given the ongoing legal proceedings and administrative actions?", ShortDescription="Authorities in Germany are investigating a large-scale farm in the Allgäu region for animal abuse after animal rights activists provided video evidence of alleged mistreatment, including improper tail twisting, forcing sick animals to stand, and illegal use of electric devices.
