Overview
- The case in Burglengenfeld, reported Saturday evening, triggered a police probe into an illegal slaughter.
- Officers found one beheaded lamb and a second animal tied to a fence but still alive.
- Two suspects aged 40 and 57 told police they killed the lamb without first stunning it.
- Police say no permit was evident based on initial checks, and the surviving lamb was moved to a safe farm.
- German law generally requires stunning before slaughter unless authorities grant a specific exemption, which can lead to criminal penalties if ignored.
