Day 4 Inspections of EU livestock trucks at Turkish border

June 27, 2012

This morning, before driving to Ankara for our meeting with the Ministry, we checked on the cattle from last night. Those that had been unloaded (from Greek company Tragokis) into the stable and outdoor paddocks, given plenty of fresh and clean water in large troughs, new bedding, and feed and space were in good shape. Most were lying down and ruminating, showing that they were comfortable and doing alright.

The cattle left on board trucks all night however (from the company Slovakian company Bovinex), were very dirty and many were not even able to lie down because there was not enough space. There were many flies and mosquitos inside the trucks, which smelled strongly of ammonia. The bedding was filthy and urine was dripping outside of the truck. The animals appeared exhausted and stressed. Understandably as they had already made a long journey from Slovakia, had a long wait all day at the border and now spent another night inside the truck on the Turkish side of the border. This all because the importer could only come on Monday to receive his animals and finalize his payment and papers.

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…
