Inspection of livestock trucks at BG-TR border, Kapitan Andreevo

August 15, 2017

Filming the situation

Again, in the morning the team on the Bulgarian side of the border have their hands full. We see a very overcrowded sheep transport and a distressed heifer rolling her tongue – a possible sign of thirst and heat stress. We start filming and document this reflex repeated continuously for over two minutes! One mystery truck passes by us quickly, but we are able to identify … [Read more...] about Inspection of livestock trucks at BG-TR border, Kapitan Andreevo

Long truck queue

A quick morning look at the situation at the border keeps us busy without time to eat or drink for almost five hours! We inspect 14 trucks trying to make their way to the border – the second lane is blocked by parked trucks, as usual. Animal transporters wait for more than one hour to enter the border area. Two drivers call the police to help remove the blocking trucks, … [Read more...] about Inspection of livestock trucks at BG-TR border, Kapitan Andreevo

Cattle under decider

Sunday. We know that the nearby control post in Svilengrad is full of trucks, so we expect today or tomorrow morning to be very busy. Today, we only see cattle transported, and the temperature remains very high: already before 10am it is 33 degrees. Later during the day, we document temperature inside trucks exceeding 37 degrees, and yet not every driver sees the need to … [Read more...] about Inspection of livestock trucks at BG-TR border, Kapitan Andreevo

Truck inspection

A busy day! The team on the Bulgarian side of the border documents nine transports today. The morning starts with young heifers being transported from Romania. According to the drivers, the animals rested in the nearby control post, and indeed they look okay, but their number is worrying: over 80 on each truck! We are relieved to see that the following four transports … [Read more...] about Inspection of livestock trucks at BG-TR border, Kapitan Andreevo

Filming of the situation

Today we document three sheep transports crossing the border in the early afternoon. The heat is severe and the unshorn sheep from Romania suffer immensely on board of trucks. We see at least one leg trapped between the floor and the wall of the trailer. The sheep are breathing heavily, look exhausted, while overcrowding with insufficient headspace is aggravating the … [Read more...] about Inspection of livestock trucks at BG-TR border, Kapitan Andreevo
