Farm Animal Memorial Day

June 19, 2022

We helped farmer Dr. Kees Scheepens with his request to host a Farm Animal Memorial Day at his organic free-range pig and cattle farm. Kees gave a talk about the trauma many farmers and vets developed from having to "kill" so many healthy animals during virus outbreaks, just for economic reasons. Thousands of crocheted white roses were planted in a spiral to represent the … [Read more...] about Farm Animal Memorial Day

Some pig assembly centers allow and some do not allow EonA to visit

November 8, 2021

In recent years Eyes on Animals has visited several assembly centers for sows and piglets in the Netherlands. Sows and piglets are collected from different farms and gathered at these centers to be sent to slaughterhouses abroad. They are sent for slaughter because they are less productive or have (small) abnormalities. For sows it often concerns fertility issues, … [Read more...] about Some pig assembly centers allow and some do not allow EonA to visit

Pig farm for public viewing in Beemsterlant (NL) a disappointment

July 11, 2021

In an attempt to be more transparent, the pig industry in the Netherlands started a project to make several pig farms “open” for public viewing. Instead of sealed walls and no access, these farms would have several windows where people would be encouraged to peek in. Today an inspector from Eyes on Animals dropped by one of these pig farms, Beemsterlant. There were … [Read more...] about Pig farm for public viewing in Beemsterlant (NL) a disappointment

De Waal:”De moeder-kind band is tweehonderd miljoen jaren oud, die is op dezelfde manier geprogrammeerd bij de mens als bij de koe als bij allerlei andere zoogdieren.Dus het zou heel vreemd zijn dat een mens heel overstuur is als een kind weggenomen wordt en de koe níet!” #kalf

Hoe kan het dat ik zoveel van #dieren houd en ze ook opeet? Waarom eet ik geen paarden- of hondenvlees, maar wel kipfilet of een karbonaadje? Imke de Boer, hoogleraar aan de @WUR, schreef over deze vragen een boek. Ze vertelt erover in de studio @NPORadio1
