Inspection of Skaryszew horse market – Day 1, Poland

March 6, 2017

There are by far fewer horses than last year, we count about 250-300. There were fewer horses kept under the roof area of the market this year, but too many to keep a safe distance between them. Some of the horses standing next to each other try to bite and kick. Again, no one cares about feeding and watering the horses, so the basic needs of many of them are not provided for hours.

The atmosphere is very tense between the traders and the many people that have come from different organization. The traders are getting aggressive and the police needs to intervene a few times.

We see some slight improvements regarding the organization of the market and involvement of Veterinary Inspection. However, we still note violations to the technical rules of the EU Regulation 1/2005. We notice many small lorries with steep and slippery ramps. Unfortunately, there is no proper ramp at the market to unload the horses safely. Most of those lorries are too small and overcrowded, so that animals are not able to stand in their natural standing position.

We notify these concerns to the official ve, but the loading is not stopped.

Our team is measuring the angle of a very steep ramp (angle 30°)
Condition of the ramp in daylight
Unsuitable vehicle, stress and bad weather lead to dangerous situation for horses and people
Using improper ramps during loading presents a serious risk of injuries
