turkisch_border4

After receiving information that a cattle truck had been blocked for several days at the Bulgarian/Turkish border, we joined forces with Tierschutzbund Zurich and sent a team to the border for 4 days to see how grave the problems were there for the animals forced to wait. When we arrived, the truck had managed to get through but dozens of others were in the line-up. Some … [Read more...] about 17-20.04.2011 Inspection of EU livestock-trucks at Turkish border

December 3, 2010

meeting_with_the dutch officialsjpg

In 2009 and 2010, Eyes on Animals sent numerous reports of their observations in the field of cattle trucks where the cattle did not have adequate headroom. The ceilings were so low that animals on board had difficulty standing up in a natural position and risked injuring their backs.   The Dutch Ministry of Agriculture requested Dr. Lambooij from Wageningen research … [Read more...] about Meeting with Dutch officials and cattle industry to discuss increasing headspace for cattle during transport

Visit of Janssen Neerkant pig collecting and export centre

September 16, 2010

neerkant

Today we dropped by Janssen Neerkant's pig collecting and export centre in Brabant (NL). The purpose of our visit was to take photos of their new 17-meter loading ramp. Because the ramp is so long, the pigs no longer have a steep climb into or out of the truck, even from the fourth floor of the vehicle. Because pigs are bad climbers, this is a very good improvement to … [Read more...] about Visit of Janssen Neerkant pig collecting and export centre
