Sows in horrible condition at collecting center in Lunteren (NL)

March 8, 2021

On March 8 Eyes on Animals dropped by a pig collection center in Lunteren (NL) to further distribute our manual on humane euthanasia of unfit animals. On the premises there was a trailer with sows on board. We heard a lot of screaming from inside the truck. We knocked on the office door and rang the doorbell at the house on the property but no one answered. Concerned about … [Read more...] about Sows in horrible condition at collecting center in Lunteren (NL)

Inspection of pig trucks during cold weather

January 15, 2021

Eyes on Animals visited a big Dutch slaughterhouse to observe if drivers delivering the pigs took precautions to protect the pigs from the cold weather (1-2 degrees) today.  We observed several drivers that had left almost all of the side shutters of their truck open when they arrived. This of course is far too cold for the pigs, especially with the wind chill when … [Read more...] about Inspection of pig trucks during cold weather

Livestock Trader Blonk not interested in dialogue with Eyes on Animals

July 12, 2020

Sheep in truck

On May 25th Eyes on Animals paid a visit to Blonk’s assembly center in Harmelen (NL). At the time of our visit, no one was able to speak to us. We therefore tried to contact the owner by e-mail but, even after several attempts, we did not receive a response. Therefore, we have to assume that Blonk is not interested in a conversation with and/or advice from Eyes on Animals … [Read more...] about Livestock Trader Blonk not interested in dialogue with Eyes on Animals

IMPORTANT NEWS: Transport of unweaned calves by truck and ferry from Ireland to France systematically violates EU feeding intervals

June 15, 2020

Unweaned Calves

In a response to our questions, the EU Commission confirms that there is no derogation to the feeding intervals in the case of animals transported on RORO (roll-on roll-off) vessels. Animals transported on journeys including a RORO must be fed at the same frequency as ones transported solely by road. This means the journeys of unweaned calves being trucked from farms in … [Read more...] about IMPORTANT NEWS: Transport of unweaned calves by truck and ferry from Ireland to France systematically violates EU feeding intervals

Our most recent newsletter

Dear friends,

It’s not every day that an animal-welfare organization takes on the challenge of redesigning a large pig slaughterhouse and their animal handling techniques, but that’s exactly what we did in 2020.

De Tweede Kamer zegt al jaren: op snikhete dagen geen dieren vervoeren! Maar minister Wiersma wil dat verbod niet doorvoeren, en saboteert door nóg een keer te onderzoeken wat de ‘sector’ er eigenlijk van vindt. Onder aanvoering van de PvdD heeft de Kamer nu gezegd: niks daarvan!

Gisteren is er op initiatief van de @PartijvdDieren opnieuw een #motie aangenomen om de maximum toegestane #temperatuur voor #veetransport te verlagen. Een stap in de goede richting om eindelijk een einde te maken aan #hittestress.
