Slaughter of very young goat-kids to end in 2025

October 12, 2022

Partly because of our efforts the sector has drawn up a plan to put a stop to the transportation and slaughter of extremely young goat-kids. In 2025 dairy goat farmers will have to fatten all (100%) of their goat-kids up to the average age of 5 weeks. In 2023 this needs to be at least 25% and in 2024 a minimum of 50%. Although 5 weeks is still very young, at this … [Read more...] about Slaughter of very young goat-kids to end in 2025

September 7, 2022

Hopeful news from Turkey: the Halal slaughterhouse near Ordu that we trained in May on how to use a stunner and convinced them to at least render cattle unconscious prior to hoisting and cutting their throats is still stunning the cattle. This has meant a huge decrease in the level of suffering.  We are regularly in Turkey to make people aware of the urgent need to … [Read more...] about Slaughterhouse near Ordu (TR) continues to use stunner to render cattle uncouscious

August 20, 2022

After Gosschalk was forced to shut down by NVW authority due to undercover footage exposing serious animal welfare issues, they have responded by implementing several improvements.
