Three years have passed since a hundred heavily armed police officers stormed the infamous Quälhof von Hefenhofen TG. At least 13 animals are said to have died on Ulrich K.’s farm * (52). Images of dead and emaciated horses shocked the whole of Switzerland in the summer of 2017.
The Thurgau Veterinary Office banned the horse breeder from keeping animals in April 2018. But Ulrich K. resisted and took the case to federal court. He rejected the complaints on Monday. Therefore, the unlimited ban on keeping animals against K. is legally binding.
Undisclosed financial condition
K. asked the Administrative Court of Thurgau to administer justice free of charge. The court rejected this because K. did not sufficiently disclose his financial situation. K. complained about this, but he was also reported in federal court. The horse dealer did not adequately explain to what extent the lower court ruling violated federal law, the Swiss highest court said in a ruling published Monday.
In a second sentence, the Federal Supreme Court wrote that it did not heed the man’s complaint against the rejection of the free administration of justice in the process for the liquidation of the proceeds of the horses sold.
Scandal-Acte
K. is anything but a blank slate. In 2008, SonntagsBlick called him the most brutal animal abuser in Switzerland. At that time he had tortured a mare to death while she was laced. A dead and emaciated cow was also found. In 2011 there was another conviction for multiple animal cruelty. During this process, it was also revealed that he had threatened the canton veterinarian with a plastic gun.
But that’s not all: in 2014 he had to shoot a mare in the presence of the police, and last year a veterinarian reported new allegations of torture on TVO. 2017 shocking photos. Perhaps the files on the Ulrich K. scandal can now be closed. (vob / laa / SDA)
