First visit of Edemen slaughterhouse in Bursa, Turkey

April 18, 2015

20150418_Edemen_Bursa  (9)Today the EonA/AWF team and Dr. Ellen Eser from BSI Schwarzenbek visit Edemen slaughterhouse in Bursa. The owner bought this slaughterhouse seven months ago. We spotted similar problems as in most other Turkish slaughterhouses (trip-floor restraint box, mounting and falling down and live-hoisting). The owner and all the people working at the slaughterhouse were very friendly, open –minded and welcoming and the man responsible for driving the animals from the lairage towards the slaughter area was calm and skilled in animal behaviour. They seem really interested in modernizing and learning about how to improve animal welfare and meat quality. We are working now on building a cooperative and positive working relationship with them, so that practical improvement can soon be put into place. To be followed!

In februari staat The Animal Law Foundation in de rechtszaal. Zij vechten het besluit van de Britse overheid aan om het vangen van kippen aan de poten opnieuw toe te staan. In plaats van te handhaven, wil de overheid de wet versoepelen.
De wereld op zijn kop.

Tens of millions of chickens are still carried upside down by their legs – a practice that causes severe suffering.

When the law tried to prevent this, the government weakened it.

In February, we’ll be in court challenging that decision.
Public scrutiny matters. Please share.
