This afternoon an Eyes on Animals team in the Netherlands gave a talk to the European Members of Parliament about the horrible animal-suffering we continue to see on the live-animal transport route from Europe to Turkey. We showed the most recent photos taken by the Eyes on Animals and TSB|AWF team that is currently at the EU-Turkey border documenting the dozens of livestock trucks passing through, some with dead animals on board or pregnant heifers giving birth.
Our talk was a part of the Study Day organized by the United European Green Left party. The European Members of Parliament were shocked to see that these horrors have been going on for 6 years now with no EU or Member State authorities taking effective action to put a stop to the suffering. We are campaigining for an end to this trade route.
