The veterinary service confiscated several dozen horses, around 120 dogs and two goats during the farm eviction. Andrea Affolter, media officer for the Solothurn cantonal council, said this on Sunday when asked by the Keystone-SDA news agency. She confirmed a report by the regional television station Tele M1 from the previous day. The cantonal police confirmed that they had also been on site.
"The animals were practically all in a desolate condition", Andrea Affolter continued on request. They were malnourished, undernourished and sick.
"We confiscated the horses and put them in a suitable place," cantonal veterinarian Chantal Ritter told the television station Tele M1. The dogs were euthanized because they were in too poor a condition.
The animal owner will be charged with a violation of the Animal Welfare Act, added Affolter.
