This is the worst euthanasia I've seen, says a veterinarian from the National Food Agency who was present at the slaughter, in police interrogation.
The person describes a stressful situation where the operator was forced to reload their weapon several times.
Since the animal was conscious and breathing, the animal experienced pain and death anxiety when it was hit in the head multiple times.
According to the prosecutor, the man has euthanized several cattle in an incorrect manner. The suspected crimes are said to have occurred on four occasions in 2023.
The prosecutor believes that the criminality should be assessed as gross since the euthanasia has involved serious suffering and death anxiety for the animals. According to the prosecutor, the animals were not anesthetized correctly.
The man denies the crime.
