本報告講述了兩個故事。在這些故事中，人們沒有照顧好他們的動物。

In Florida, police arrested Christina Pitts on June 2. She had 92 animals. The animals did not have enough food or medicine. One horse was very sick and died.

在佛羅里達州，警方於6月2日逮捕了Christina Pitts。她擁有92隻動物。這些動物缺乏足夠的食物或藥品。有一匹馬病得很嚴重並死亡。

In Germany, a place called Ziegenbande had 80 dead goats. The goats had no food and no water. Doctors saved 41 other animals. The owner said the animals were happy, but this was a lie.

在德國，一個名為Ziegenbande的地方有80隻山羊死亡。這些山羊沒有食物也沒有水。醫生救了另外41隻動物。飼主聲稱動物們很快樂，但這是謊言。

Now, the police in Florida are looking for more proof. In Germany, the court is slow. The trial for the owner did not start yet.

現在，佛羅里達州的警方正在尋找更多證據。在德國，法院進度緩慢。飼主的審判尚未開始。

Both owners did not feed their animals. Now, the law is helping the animals.

兩位飼主都沒有餵養他們的動物。現在法律正在幫助這些動物。

This report looks at two different cases of serious animal neglect involving commercial farms in Citrus County, Florida, and Dießen, Germany.

本報告分析了兩起涉及美國佛羅里達州柑橘郡與德國迪森商業農場的嚴重動物 neglected 個案。

In Citrus County, Florida, police arrested Christina Pitts on June 2 after investigating the Moonstone Field facility. This farm bred horses, dairy goats, and sheep, and it held about 92 animals. Investigators found that the animals did not receive enough food or medical care. The situation came to light after a horse was found in critical condition and had to be put down by a veterinarian. Furthermore, officials discovered that another horse had been buried in secret. Sheriff David Vincent emphasized that the animals suffered because of preventable mistakes, noting that Pitts was the only person making decisions about the livestock. Legal actions will continue once the forensic tests are finished.

在佛羅里達州柑橘郡，警方在調查 Moonstone Field 設施後，於 6 月 2 日逮捕了 Christina Pitts。該農場飼養馬、乳山羊和綿羊，約有 92 隻動物。調查人員發現這些動物未獲得充足的食物或醫療照顧。在一匹馬被發現情況危殆並由獸醫予以安樂死後，此事才曝光。此外，官員發現另一匹馬被秘密埋葬。警長 David Vincent 強調，動物的痛苦是由可避免的錯誤造成的，並指出 Pitts 是唯一決定牲畜處理方案的人。法醫檢驗完成後，法律行動將繼續進行。

Similarly, in Dießen, Germany, a case involving the 'Ziegenbande' operation has faced long legal delays. About thirteen months after 80 dead dairy goats were discovered, the court has still not started the trial. Medical reports concluded that the animals died due to 'multiple severe negligences,' specifically starvation and dehydration. Although the veterinary office managed to save 41 sick animals, the case showed a clear difference between the owner's claims of ethical farming and the actual conditions. Consequently, despite charges being filed eight months ago, the formal trial is still pending.

同樣地，在德國迪森，一起涉及「Ziegenbande」經營的個案面臨長期的法律延遲。在發現 80 隻死亡的乳山羊約 13 個月後，法院仍未開始審理。醫療報告結論認為，動物死於「多重嚴重疏忽」，特別是飢餓和脫水。儘管獸醫診所成功救回 41 隻病畜，但該案顯示出業主所聲稱的倫理養殖與實際情況之間存在明顯差異。因此，儘管 8 個月前已提起指控，正式審理目前仍處於待定狀態。

Both cases show a serious failure to meet animal care standards; the Florida case is currently gathering evidence, while the German case is waiting for a trial to begin.

兩起個案均顯示出在動物照顧標準上的嚴重失職；佛州個案目前正在搜集證據，而德國個案則在等待審理開始。

This report examines two distinct cases of systemic animal neglect involving commercial livestock operations in Citrus County, Florida, and Dießen, Germany.

本報告檢視了兩起不同的系統性動物忽略案例，涉及美國佛羅里達州柑橘縣與德國迪森的商業畜牧經營。

In the jurisdiction of Citrus County, Florida, law enforcement officials apprehended Christina Pitts on June 2 following an investigation into the operational practices of Moonstone Field. The facility, which specialized in the breeding of horses, dairy goats, and Florida Native sheep, was found to house approximately 92 animals across multiple species. Evidence indicated a pervasive failure to provide adequate nutrition and medical intervention. The intervention commenced after reports of a horse in critical condition, resulting in a veterinarian-sanctioned euthanasia. Subsequent site surveys revealed the clandestine burial of another equine. Sheriff David Vincent attributed the animal suffering to preventable failures in care, noting that Pitts maintained sole decision-making authority over the livestock. Further judicial actions remain contingent upon the completion of forensic examinations.

在佛羅里達州柑橘縣的司法管轄區內，執法官員於 6 月 2 日在對 Moonstone Field 的經營實踐進行調查後逮捕了 Christina Pitts。該設施專門培育馬匹、乳山羊及佛州原生羊，發現內含約 92 隻不同物種的動物。證據顯示，該處普遍未能提供充足的營養與醫療干預。在收到一匹馬情況危急的報告後，介入行動隨即展開，最終由獸醫批准將其安樂死。隨後的現場勘查發現另一匹馬被秘密埋葬。警長 David Vincent 將動物的痛苦歸因於可避免的照護失職，並指出 Pitts 擁有對這些牲畜的唯一決策權。進一步的司法行動仍取決於法醫鑑定結果的完成情況。

Parallelly, in Dießen, Germany, a case involving the 'Ziegenbande' operation has entered a protracted legal phase. Approximately thirteen months after the discovery of 80 deceased dairy goats, the regional judiciary has yet to commence trial proceedings. Pathological assessments concluded that the mortality was the result of 'multiple severe negligences,' specifically citing starvation and dehydration. While the veterinary office successfully salvaged 41 debilitated animals, the incident highlighted a significant discrepancy between the operator's public assertions of ethical husbandry and the actual conditions of the facility. Despite the filing of charges eight months prior, the formal adjudication process remains pending.

與此同時，在德國迪森，一起涉及「Ziegenbande」經營的案件已進入漫長的法律階段。在發現 80 隻乳山羊死亡約 13 個月後，區域司法部門尚未開始審理程序。病理評估結論認為，死亡是由於「多項嚴重疏忽」，特別指出了飢餓與脫水。雖然獸醫辦公室成功救回 41 隻虛弱的動物，但此事件凸顯了經營者對外聲稱的倫理畜牧方式與設施實際狀況之間的顯著差異。儘管 8 個月前已提起指控，但正式的司法裁定程序仍處於待定狀態。

Both cases demonstrate a failure in husbandry standards, with the Florida case currently in the evidentiary phase and the German case awaiting trial.

這兩起案例均顯示畜牧標準失職，佛州案例目前處於證據階段，而德國案例則在等待審理。
