Investigation into why so many piglets die every year

March 17, 2009

piglets_2009

Eyes on Animals investigated into why there are so many piglets that die every year. We spoke to the rendering company about the extremely high figures. There are several explanations- stress (of the piglet but also of the confined nursing sows), bacterial infections from unhygenic conditions, and not enough nipples to provide for each piglet. Due to genetic selection … [Read more...] about Investigation into why so many piglets die every year

Checking on new- born lambs in the Netherlands

March 17, 2009

calfs_2009

On our way to an investigation we came across a small flock of sheep in a field, with several new-born lambs of just a few days of age.

Response to a concern about 3 donkeys in NL

February 9, 2009

donkey1_2009

Eyes on Animals received an anonymous concern about the housing conditions of several donkeys not far from Amsterdam. Together with the complaint were several photos showing a barren and small housing facility for 3 donkeys. Upon arriving we observed the donkeys and the approximate 10m2 of space each one had. Part of their housing was indoor and part was outdoor, but on … [Read more...] about Response to a concern about 3 donkeys in NL
