😳🐖Ronduit verbijsterend is echter het feit, dat de dierenarts van de #NVWA niet met zekerheid kon vaststellen dat “de dieren lijden aan hittestress.’ Oordeelt u zelf! https://www.bnnvara.nl/zembla/artikelen/beelden-van-oververhitte-varkens-bij-slachterij-vion #hittestress #varkens

😳🐖 Onvoorstelbaar! Varkens moeten bij de #NVWA dus echt halfdood zijn om in aanmerking te komen voor de het begrip ‘lijden onder hittestress’. U begrijpt dat hier het laatste woord nog niet over gesproken is…. #hittestress #varkens
