Training of Kiskunfélegyháza highway police

January 22, 2014

EonA/AWF police trainings took place today on the highway near Kiskunfélegyháza.

Our team together with the highway police inspected livestock vehicles on the road leading to the nearby pig and poultry slaughterhouse. We controlled 6 livestock trucks and more than half of them were in violation of the EU legislaiton on the protection of animals during transport (EC 1/2005).

The violations mostly consisted of overcrowding and unsuitable vehicles for the transport of live animals.

The ducks had been used in the production of foie gras and made a very sick and lethargic impression. After weeks of being force-fed and living in tiny cages, it was disturbing to see them being transported also in poor conditions. Some of the doors to the crates were even broken, leading to one duck falling out.

The police issued many notifications about the violations found. These notifications are sent to the official veterinarian who can then write the fines out. We talked with the chief veterinary inspector of the region and discussed the most frequent violations that need more attention.

In the future we expect that such violations will diminish. As the result of our last joint inspections a fine of 400.000 forints was issued.

Dear friends,

I first discovered the bad side of factory-farming and industrial slaughter when I was a young girl of twelve.
When I visited a livestock market I saw a pile of sick animals left for dead behind the building. At a huge industrial poultry slaughterhouse, I saw dozens of live chickens walking around the bloody floor…

RTL Nieuws toont varkensflats met ~650.000 dieren.
Als ik mij niet vergis was de varkensflat een Nederlandse uitvinding, is het concept door NL lobby & ‘kenniswerkers’ naar China geëxporteerd & heeft nu ook de hokinrichting een NLse signatuur.

Een totaal mislukt experiment, moeflons introduceren in Nederland. En nu zijn ze weer de dupe van die foute keuze!

😳Als u zo trots bent op de intensieve varkenshouderij en overtuigd dat de varkens het daar heerlijk hebben zou het u sieren om een andere foto te gebruiken. Dit vrije biggetje in het gras is níet realistisch, varkens in Nederland leven zo niet! Puur voor de bühne! #varkens
