EonA’s better method of carrying hens still in place at Polish market

October 31, 2015

Man with hens in netsIn 2011 Eyes on Animals visited a weekly livestock market in Poland. We were shocked to see how poultry were placed into net bags (made for onions) and handed over like this to their new buyer. The hens got their heads, feet and wings all tangled in the net, and trampled each other. It caused fright, pain and panic among the birds.

Hens in cardboard boxKnowing full well we could only reduce the suffering of the hens by offering the market a practical and cheap alternative, we collected cardboard boxes from supermarkets, made air holes and glued on EonA stickers with a message to remind people that there were live animals inside the box and to handle with care. Now, almost 4 years later, a dear colleague of ours from TSB/AWF reports that this idea is still in use at the market! She just visited it and took this photo. We would like to thank Anna for supervising this market and helping keep this idea alive. At least some of the animal suffering was successfully reduced!

🚨🚛🚢 Last week, the @EU_Commission has published the new regulation for the protection of animals during transport.

The result? A missed opportunity by the European Commission to improve #animalwelfare.👎

@VroegeVogels @PvdDEuropa @anjahazekamp @Hanneke_vO @caringfarmers @EU_Commission @NPORadio1 Ik dacht ook dat het feit dat men veel levende dieren exporteert naar buiten de EU i.p.v. dierlijke producten kwam doordat het laatste duurder is. Uit een presentatie bij het EU Platform for Animal Welfare op 6 december in Brussel bleek dat niet zo te zijn (zie foto)
