Practical- training course of Polish Road Inspectors, Warsaw

March 1, 2016

Following the theoretical training of the day before, the Eyes on Animals and TSB|AWF team with Dr Rabitsch drives to a designated place on route 2 (stretching from the eastern border of Poland to the west) for a practical part of the training. We are accompanied by 5 ITD cars with 2-person teams each. The weather is challenging: 0 degrees with snow and rain falling. The inspectors are very motivated to work and stop three poultry transports and one empty pig truck. Everyone can benefit from the inspection of the vehicle and analysis of documents. We find terrible conditions in poultry transports: the side curtains in the trucks are plastic and do not let the air in or out, so to guarantee some ventilation each curtain is folded back leaving some chickens without any protection against the bad weather. As a result, we find some chickens frozen to death. The drivers are instructed to pull the curtains down more, and reminded that this is their responsibility. Moreover, administrative procedures against the organiser of the transport will be started by WITD.

The empty pig truck with a trailer gives great opportunity to check everything in detail. The inspectors are very interested and ask a lot of questions, inspecting the vehicle thoroughly, even though it has not been cleaned after the last transport. Again, we see that the truck is approved for species that it is not prepared to transport (no drinking facilities for sheep and gaps posing a risk for injury). A letter to the official body that approved the truck will follow.

Dear friends,

Despite the extreme heat and high humidity these last days still tens of thousands of pigs were transported to Dutch slaughterhouses. We visited the two largest: VION in Boxtel and VION in Apeldoorn.

Het wordt warm de komende dagen. Zie je in een weiland een dier dat last heeft van de warmte? Meld dit bij de veehouder. Als dat niet lukt, meld het dan bij de NVWA. Maak foto’s en filmpjes, zo kunnen onze inspecteurs de meldingen snel oppakken.Meer info? http://nvwa.nl/hittestress

The 🇪🇺 is still the largest exporter and transporter of live animals on the planet, causing much avoidable suffering and #AnimalWelfare tragedy.

We have a unique opportunity to act and #BanLiveExport ✊
