Schwerin / Alt Tellin (dpa / mv) - After the devastating fire in the huge pig breeding facility in Alt Tellin (Western Pomerania-Greifswald), the will to prevent such large farms is emerging across all parties.

«That was an unspeakable disaster.

You no longer have to have systems of this size, ”said the head of the CDU parliamentary group, Wolfgang Waldmüller, on Monday in Schwerin.

At the instigation of his party, parliament will deal with animal welfare in breeding and fattening farms in the current hour on Thursday.

The opposition left faction submitted its own motion on the subject.

In it she calls for rapid consequences of the fire disaster, in which more than 55,000 sows and piglets perished at the end of March.

The operating license for the company concerned is to be revoked.

At the federal level, there should be an upper limit for animal husbandry facilities.
