Faecal scandal in Goxel: Halled truck with 80 pigs!

Goxel, Deutschland - An unusual incident occurred in Goxel, which attracted the attention of the police. On Thursday, November 14, 2024, the Coesfeld police service stopped a truck that was loaded with 80 living pigs. What the officials shocked, however, was the fact that the 63-year-old driver had not closed the vehicle's fecal flap. This meant that the faeces and the urine remains of the animals could potentially get on the street!

The police acted immediately and issued an administrative offense notification against the driver. This gross passage not only carries health risks, but also a serious danger to animal health. Open faecal flaps in the past could have often led to the delay of animal diseases and are an absolute taboo in dealing with living cattle.

Due to the irresponsible handling of the driver, not only the integrity of the animals is at stake, but also the health of the environment. The experts warn: The pollution is at risk that dangerous germs can get into the environment and thus become a serious threat to neighboring animals and even humans.
