Practical-training of Official Road Inspectors (ITD) in Lublin – Day 1, Poland

April 3, 2017

Practical-training of Official Road InspectorsToday we stopped and inspected 6 livestock trucks during our practical training course for the Polish authorities. The welfare of the animals, the condition of the vehicles and the transport papers were checked. The pig trucks only had minor infringements related to incomplete transport papers. The poultry truck had the same problems as we still too often see during poultry transport: many birds had their wings and other body parts trapped and crushed from being loaded quickly and brutally, the cages were poorly maintained and the truck was equipped with an unsuitable curtain.

 

Bad conditions
Body parts trapped and crushed

 

Tied on by the horns - painful and illegalThe cattle truck we stopped also had many infringements that lead to poor welfare- bulls were mixed with cows, hornless animals mixed with ones with horns, some were tied on and others not, and some were even tied on by their horns which is painful and illegal. The divider in the truck was also unsuitable. The ITD and Official Veterinairans present during our training are now taking appropriate actions against the transport companies found in violation. We would like to thank all the participants. Via these training courses, Eyes on Animals expects that the legislation to protect animals from suffering will be better respected and that bad transport companies causing suffering be eventually weeded out.

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.

Four cows escaped the slaughterhouse when a transport truck crashed. After months of freedom, the police coldly shot the animals instead of letting them go to a sanctuary.

📌 Onze laatste nieuwsbrief. “In de 12 jaar dat wij bestaan, hebben we gruwelijk dierenleed gezien tijdens transport en in slachterijen. Veel van dit leed had gemakkelijk voorkomen kunnen worden.” Bedrijven leren van elkaar over beter dierenwelzijn. https://mailchi.mp/847494020b13/newsletter-en-9065215?e=818abb91df
