Rescue of a goose on highway A7

January 7, 2009

goose_2009

While driving on the A7, Eyes on Animals investigators spotted 2 geese in the highway divider. One was dead, and her mate was staying faithfully at her side. But when he started making attempts to walk across the highway, Eyes on Animals investigators decided action was needed to rescue him. The police and the Animal Ambulance was called to the scene. The highway was shut down for 10 minutes so that the goose could be moved to safety and the dead one picked up. The rescued goose was moved to a field with waterways and lots of other fowl. Eyes on Animals wishes to thank the police and the Animal Ambulance for their help!

"Als je ziet dat wij proberen het dierenwelzijn in Nederland te verbeteren, dan is het onverdoofd slachten toestaan wel heel wrang."

Staatssecretaris @SilvioErkens wil dierenleed voorkomen. Daarom wil hij af van de uitzondering die onverdoofd ritueel slachten mogelijk maakt. 👇
