Documentary partly based on Eyes on Animals investigations has major political impact in Germany

November 22, 2017

Just one day after the broadcasting of Manfred Karreman’s new documentary about the export of cattle from Europe to third countries (click HERE to watch the documentary), using Eyes on Animals footage and interviewing our director, a major discussion has erupted among German politics.

The CDU party in Germany is writing the EU Commisssioner to ask for a ban on the export of European livestock for slaughter abroad. They fear that continuing allowing such export will damage the animal agricultural image too much. Click HERE to read the article about the CDU.

And even the German farmers’organization, WLV, is calling for an end to the export of live animals for slaughter in third countries, saying that the handling of these animals is unacceptable. Read HERE.

Las primeras víctimas siempre son los animales.

Se debería de aprobar un pacto de estado contra el fuego, por la prevención y de compromisos contra el cambio climático.
