Romanian cattle stuck 2 weeks inside No Man’s Land at EU/Turkey border

November 2, 2024

Forty-seven breeding heifers from Romania were stuck at the EU/Turkish border since 18 October. Despite Animals' Angels & AWF doing their very best by repeatedly contacting the EU and Turkish authorities, plus the buyer, seller and transporter, these animals were left for 2 weeks in No Man's Land while conditions for them on board got worse and worse. In total 6 cattle … [Read more...] about Romanian cattle stuck 2 weeks inside No Man’s Land at EU/Turkey border

Margreet on Turkish border with vet and cow that gave birth

Since 2011 the border between the EU and Turkey has been open for livestock trucks from the EU to enter Turkey. Many of these animals arrive from far and have to wait for hours, even days, at this border crossing. We have seen hundreds of animals fall very sick at this border crossing due to these lengthy delays or poor conditions on board (overcrowding, heavily pregnant, … [Read more...] about EonA provides a captive bolt stunner at the Turkish border

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

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.

🐐🐏 Geen verrassing, dit slachthuis heeft ons ook nooit binnen willen laten en dat is meestal een veeg teken.
Goed werk @_NVWA ! #slacht
