An illegal farm dismantled near Lyon, around fifty animals taken care of by the SPA

An illegal farm was dismantled last Wednesday in Vaulx-en-Velin.

The establishment, not declared and carrying out animal breeding, was targeted by an investigation by the Rhône Departmental Security, seized by the Lyon Public Prosecutor’s Office and the Departmental Directorate for the Protection of the Populations.

On the spot, the police discovered about fifty animals, goats, sheep and chickens, living in deplorable hygienic conditions. Modular buildings were used as slaughterhouses, and the products were then sold in a grocery store in Vaulx-en-Velin.

The investigation showed that six people worked on this farm without being declared, including three foreigners in an irregular situation who were accommodated on site and paid illegally by the manager of the operation. The latter was ordered to cease these activities. The establishment has since been closed.

Note that the animals were taken care of by the SPA, which lodged a complaint for mistreatment.
