De Tweede Kamer nam in 5 jaar tijd 5 moties aan die pleiten voor een verbod op diertransporten boven de 30 graden. Waar wacht Wiersma nog op?

👍 Hulde @PartijvdDieren! Er moet een einde komen aan het volstrekt onnodig extra lijden van dieren die geslacht worden.
Het is onverdoofd al erg genoeg! #ritueleslacht
