Heute haben wir den ersten Jan-Voordouw-Preis für humanen Fortschritt verliehen. Er ging an einen Schlachter in der Türkei, der als einer der ersten im Land bereit war, von uns zu lernen, wie man Rinder mit einem Bolzenschussgerät betäubt. Dieser Moment ist jetzt besonders bedeutsam, da Jan Voordouw letztes Jahr leider an Krebs verstorben ist. Jan war ein … [Mehr...] about Auszeichnung für humanen Fortschritt an Rinderschlachthof in der Region Tekirdag, Türkei

Nachkontrolle im Rinderschlachthof Çorlu, Türkei
Der Schlachthof in Çorlu (Türkei) war der erste, der Interesse daran zeigte, das Tierwohl zu verbessern, und bereit war, Rinder in seinem Betrieb zu betäuben.

Kürzlich haben Eyes on Animals und die Animal Welfare Foundation (AWF) zwei Transporte niederländischer Ferkel zu einem Schlachthof in Kroatien überwacht.

Eyes on Animals and Japanese delegation visit Compaxo slaughterhouse in Zevenaar (NL)
Compaxo stands out as the only large-scale pig slaughterhouse in the Netherlands that uses electric stunning rather than CO₂ gas. This is a significant distinction, as electric stunning—when carried out properly—renders pigs unconscious immediately. In contrast, CO₂ stunning causes pigs to experience 10 to 25 seconds of stress, fear, and even panic due to the sensation of … [Mehr...] about Eyes on Animals and Japanese delegation visit Compaxo slaughterhouse in Zevenaar (NL)
