Stop and ban the export of live animals destined for slaughter abroad
Millions of live animals are exported. Journeys may take weeks. Animals may suffer deliberate injury to protect staff. Cattle may continue their journey onward from the EU without food and water, sometimes dying on the way. They arrive injured, covered in excrement often standing on dead animals.
Many of the countries receiving animals have no animal welfare legislation and practice inhumane methods of slaughter.
1. hoisted by one rear leg when fully conscious and slaughtered.
2. deliberately injured, tendons cut to restrict movement when handling.
3. restrained fully conscious bulls hacked to slit their throats.
4 restrained and hit with a sledgehammer.
They are, in breach of the international standards on welfare at slaughter of the OIE (World Organisation for Animal Health).
