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

August 10, 2017

Extremely hight temperatures inside the trucks

The team on the Bulgarian side watch the border from late morning. We see only one truck crossing during the day, others choose the night, with lower temperatures but longer waiting times to cross. Five of six trucks loaded with cattle look overcrowded, which means even greater suffering for the animals. Moreover, water troughs are dirty and full of bedding in most cases, … [Read more...] about Inspection of livestock trucks at BG-TR border, Kapitan Andreevo

Downer on long distance transport

TSB|AWF and EonA teams are documenting the situation on the Bulgarian/Turkish border Kapitan Andreevo/Kapikule.

Day 5 Inspection of EU cattle transports at the Turkish border

Stationnary vehicles parked in the sun

Today teams from Eyes on Animals and TSB|AWF began inspecting EU livestock trucks passing the Bulgarian border and trying to enter Turkey.

Day 7: Inspection of livestock trucks at the Turkish border

June 29, 2016

Extreme filthy conditions

We are joined today by Karen Soeters, director of PiepVandaag and photographer Thomas Schlijper from The Netherlands. They want to make a reportage about the conditions on the ground here that we have been seeing year after year. We are very pleased they want to further expose the problems in the hope that competent authorities and industry will finally take action to … [Read more...] about Day 7: Inspection of livestock trucks at the Turkish border
