Access to poultry during transport now possible with Stork’s new containers

June 8, 2017

On Monday June 8th Eyes on Animals visited Plukon poultry slaughterhouse in Maasmechelen (Belgium). The broilers are now being transported in a new container system from Stork company. The new design of the transport containers have side access doors so that birds that need treatment or care during transport can be accessed and helped. Thanks to these new access doors, we were able today to help some broilers that were stuck on their backs and not able to upright themselves. Leaving broilers lying on their backs causes stress and can lead to death. Unfortunately most poultry are transported in crates and containers where they are inaccessible. We are very pleased that Plukon switched over to Stork’s containers with side access doors.

Dear friends and supporters,

As you know, we spend quite some time trying to reduce animal suffering and fear inside slaughterhouses by working directly with the plants.

This work is not always very glamorous. And most of the time we are not allowed to be too public about it.
