The bulls are reloaded and sent on to Irak

December 2, 2012

After being on a long journey from Latvia to the Bulgarian/Turkish border, and then stuck on board for days there, the bulls were finally unloaded for 22 hours due to our pressure. Nevertheless, yesterday evening they were reloaded onto the truck because Turkish officials, not knowing what else to do since the Bulgarians/EU refused to let these EU bulls back into the EU, made an exception and will allow these animals to be transported via Turkey to Irak. The truck will be followed by Turkish customs via GPS to “make sure it never stops”. Animal Welfare Foundation and Eyes on Animals team trails the truck to make sure the drivers take care of the animals and to document this horribly long and chaotic journey. At 14:00 today the exhausted bulls are at least fed and given water on board.

Our most recent newsletter

Dear friends,

After years of our fieldwork and our enforcement requests, the NVWA (the Dutch government inspection authority) is finally taking action.

The NVWA has made it clear to the entire calf export-import industry between Ireland and the Netherlands: transporting unweaned calves for more than 30 hours without milk will no longer be tolerated.

Gelukkig zijn er mensen die het anders doen. Die kansen zien, vernieuwen en bewijzen dat verandering mogelijk is. Die laten zien dat de manier waarop we ons voedsel produceren dierwaardiger en duurzamer kan en moet. Stem op jouw favoriet!🏆 https://bit.ly/4xf9iei
