Open Letter in the Hefenhofen Case
When lawyers and judges demand that the public ignore these horrific images and the evidence presented from the summer of 2017, on the grounds that they may not be procedurally relevant, this amounts to a “state-mandated” brainwashing that the court is imposing on the population, on animal advocates, and on witnesses. In principle, this is precisely what undermines the Animal Protection Act. We must not allow this to happen.
Over 3’500 signatures
Within just a few hours, over 3’500 people signed an open letter by the Swiss Animal Protection STS. Time and again, convicted animal abusers slip through the cracks of the law. The Hefenhofen case is not an isolated incident.
Fatal Signal Effect
