EonA and TSB/AWF team in Turkey to improve animal-welfare during slaughter

January 7, 2016

This week our team was in Turkey to meet with as many Religious authorities, professors and journalists as possible to inform them of the current situation inside cattle and sheep slaughterhouses, and the need for improvements to be put into place to reduce animal-suffering. They met with writors and Imams that focus on Halal and preach the words of Allah. They were in Diyanet in Ankara, to discuss options such as pre-stunning. They also met with officials from the Ministry of Agriculture. As well, the team was interviewed by Performans, a Turkish magazine for meat traders, who will soon publish a 5-page article with photos about our observations inside the slaughterhouses and our efforts to raise awareness about the suffering and the possible solutions.

The good news is that they were all open to hearing about our team’s observations and suggestions. Many are also open to the idea of pre-stunning but requested updated scientific reports. This we will send to them and continue being in contact with them. A highlight of the trip is that there are plans to address animal-welfare during a national Friday prayer, to raise awareness about meat and where it comes from, and be reminded of how the animal must be spared from any pain possible during slaughter and what the words of the prohpet Mohammed mean in practice. Our input will be requested.

Dear friends,

I first discovered the bad side of factory-farming and industrial slaughter when I was a young girl of twelve.
When I visited a livestock market I saw a pile of sick animals left for dead behind the building. At a huge industrial poultry slaughterhouse, I saw dozens of live chickens walking around the bloody floor…

De intensieve veehouderij draagt bij aan slechtere luchtkwaliteit en een toename van luchtwegaandoeningen bij kinderen en ouderen. Je kunt iedere dag voor een gezondere keuze gaan. Veel minder vlees en zuivel en veel meer groente en fruit en granen. https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2023/mar/24/uk-farming-causes-over-quarter-cities-particle-pollution-study?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other

Koeienmoeders die verdriet hebben om hun verdwenen kinderen, varkens die de werking van een spiegel begrijpen, paarden die de gezichten van soortgenoten en mensen prima herkennen, kippenkuikens die kunnen rekenen, schapen die allerlei vormen van seksualiteit kennen, 1/3

geiten die door hebben wat een ander kan zien. De zogenaamde "boerderijdieren" zijn veel slimmer en hebben een veel rijker gevoelsleven dan de meeste mensen denken. Tijdens deze cursus die ik op zaterdagen 22 en 29 april in Amsterdam organiseer krijg je een boeiend overzicht 2/3
