Concerns about forced-ventilated closed livestock trucks

September 15, 2020

Eyes on Animals has written to several major truck-design companies regarding concerns we have with forced-ventilated closed livestock trucks. These trucks are completely closed and automatically ventilated. During our summer inspections, however, we witnessed this ventilation is not always sufficient, making these trucks very hot and humid – resulting in heat stress.  Moreover, the animals in the truck are not always easily accessible and/or visible. Late 2020, beginning of 2021, we will consult with truck-design companies to discuss our concerns and how improvements can be made.

Het kan het einde betekenen van de veehouderij zoals we die kennen in Nederland. Door een nieuwe wet moet dierenwelzijn voorop staan: varkens moeten vrij kunnen wroeten en koeien en kalveren samen kunnen leven. Althans, dat wil de Tweede Kamer.

Daar zou Gandhi anders over hebben gedacht. "Bijna alles wat je doet is onbelangrijk, maar het is heel belangrijk dat je het doet".
