Adequate headspace finally for cattle being transported to Vion slaughterhouse in Tilburg

September 5, 2010

stahoogte_vion_250911

On the 5th of September 2010, Eyes on Animals discretely observed cattle trucks arriving at VION slaughterhouse in Tilburg. We saw a number of double-decker transport trucks in which the cattle had insufficient headspace. As a result, the cattle were not able to maintain their natural posture, which could in turn cause serious injury to head and back. At the time, we … [Read more...] about Adequate headspace finally for cattle being transported to Vion slaughterhouse in Tilburg

We were disappointed to observe three transport companies load cattle from an assembly center onto double-deckers that did not provide enough head-space for the animals. In particular we were disappointed that one of the companies belongs to a quality system that we have faith in.

A concerned passerby of a parked trailer loaded with piglets called Eyes on Animals to ask for some help. She was concerned because the piglets were screaming loudly. When we arrived, we observed many piglets badly fighting eachother; biting eachothers' ears and face. As a consequence, some were covered in bloody scratches. After awhile the chauffeur returned, in a loaded … [Read more...] about Inspection of a trailer loaded with piglets in Udenhout

Inspection of a Dutch cattle lorry whereby soms cattle didn’t have enough headspace

June 11, 2010

headspace

An Eyes on Animals team inspected a double-deck lorry from the Dutch company Erik Tax (from Veewaardigvervoer!) parked at a gas station on the A50. Inside were Holstein cows with Dutch ear tage. Several had their backs touching the ceiling above. These animals were not given enough head room, leading to limited ventilation and discomfort from not being able to stand … [Read more...] about Inspection of a Dutch cattle lorry whereby soms cattle didn’t have enough headspace

Our most recent newsletter

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.
