The door was closed to the pigsty and 90 pigs were left to die. The farmer, who was sentenced to a conditional sentence and day fines for animal cruelty, has explained his actions by saying that he became paralyzed after experiencing a bad harvest and also receiving a diagnosis of illness.
During a visit to the farm several years later, an environmental inspector found 90 mummified pig bodies, reports Norra Skåne. According to the municipality, these are the same pigs that starved to death in 2018.
The municipality has issued an injunction to force the farmer to transport the dead pigs away, but he has so far refused to sign that he has been served the decision.
