Memmingen/Bad Grönenbach - Since this summer, the Memmingen district court has been hearing against two farmers for numerous violations of the Animal Welfare Act.

The main hearing took place on Wednesday, in which the public prosecutor's office and the defense presented their pleas.

The verdict is expected next Tuesday.

There is no question that the two accused farmers from Bad Grönenbach have committed criminal offenses.

In today's main hearing, it was not only the prosecutor who saw it that way, but also the defendants' defense lawyers.

After the public prosecutor had demanded a prison sentence of 2 years and 10 months for the 26-year-old farmer and 2 years and 6 months for his 68-year-old father, they cited various exoneration and mitigation reasons in their pleadings.

So both are confessing.

At the end of their pleadings, the lawyers found that the father should be sentenced to 1 year and 4 months in prison and the son to 1 year and 8 months in prison.

They also pleaded - in contrast to the prosecutor - for the suspension of the sentences on probation.

The same applies to the duration of the ban on keeping and caring for animals demanded by the public prosecutor.

The verdict is to be pronounced next Tuesday, November 29th.

A detailed report follows.
