The case of the abandonment of buffaloes in Brotas refers to the abandonment of more than a thousand buffaloes on a farm in the Brazilian municipality of Brotas, causing deaths and leaving animals in a state of starvation.[1] It has been treated by NGOs as one of the biggest cases of animal abuse ever recorded in the history of Brazil.[1] According to the open process on the case, the farm was being leased for the cultivation of soy and turned the pastures into plantation fields leaving the animals adrift.[2] Farmer Luiz Augusto Pinheiro de Souza, owner of the farm where the buffaloes were found, had previously been fined R$2.13 million for alleged mistreatment of the animals.[3] Luiz Augusto Pinheiro de Souza also owns a restaurant in the same city, called Fatto di Bufala, which has spices such as cheese derived from the species among its menu.[4]
