Organic egg scandal: no stabling requirements exist
PETA steps up: Landkost and Biohof Deersheim's defense strategy collapses
PETA Deutschland eV sharply rejects the appeal of the Landkost and Biohof Deersheim companies to the stabling requirements in the Spreenhagen and Bestensee area and accuses the companies caught in the act of making false claims in public. It has now been officially confirmed that the Spreenhagen location, where free-range husbandry is to take place, was not required to be stabled between March 2008 and October 2008 (October 20.10.2008th, 23.5). The PETA recordings from there are from v. 25.7.2008. and July 21th, 7.10.2008, the ZDF-Frontal XNUMX recordings from October XNUMX, XNUMX. No animal has ever been out in the wild.
The same applies to the Bestensee organic farming location: between 10.6. and October 20.10.2008th, 23.5 there was no stabling requirement there either. The recordings of the facilities in Bestensee are from v. 25.7.08. and 7.8.08, the night shots from 7.10.2008. The ZDF recordings that were not broadcast, v. October XNUMX, XNUMX.
It is completely irrelevant if Landkost invokes an - undisputed - stabling requirement from October 20.10.2008th, XNUMX in its public statements.
As Frontal 21 reports without being contradicted and as can also be concluded from the photos of the outdoor facilities, the open areas at both locations have obviously not been entered or used by any chicken in the last 2 years.
"Anyone who, as a large industrial agrarian, wants to make the public believe that their intensive animal husbandry (also free-range farming is intensive and factory husbandry) is" perfect "and that the products marketed as organic and free-range eggs come from animals that were obviously not outside during the period in question, has to be accused of dubiousness and consumer deception ”, says the PETA agricultural expert Dr. Edmund Haferbeck.
The regulations of the stabling requirements and the transitional periods applicable there are not only known and taken into account in the presentation, but have been presented in great detail in the detailed criminal charges, even with attachments. Precisely because the bird flu stabling rules do not apply here, there is sufficient suspicion of fraud.
“The fact that the industrial agro-industry is referring to the bird flu hysteria and taking advantage of the animal protection laws of stabling obligations, although the virulence of the bird flu virus is clearly attributable to the worldwide industrial intensive animal husbandry, is a further indication of the ruthless exploitation of the fellow creature chicken, which is also under the protection of the constitution falls ", so Dr. Haferbeck continues.
PETA Deutschland eV announces further revelations from the operational processes in the Landkost company.
