Salzburg horror farm

Cows stood ankle-deep in their own excrement

There have been repeated on-site inspections in the past. The inspectors documented the abuses. In November, the farmer refused the inspectors access to the farm.(Bild: zVg)

Stables full of dirt and manure! A farmer in Pongau has apparently been neglecting his cattle for several years - despite ongoing inspections by the authorities! What went wrong here? The provincial government should now find out. . . 

Cows standing ankle-deep in manure. Stable floors full of manure. Meter-high piles of manure, inadequate water supply for more than 50 cattle. The list of allegations is long and has apparently been known for years - now a suspected horror farm in Pongau is also keeping Salzburg's politicians busy!
