26.01.2010 Inspection of a rabbit livestock truck during very cold temperatures

rabbit_truck

Eyes on Animals inspectors checked on a livestock truck transporting rabbits to slaughter. During the winter, and particularly tonight, there are very strong cold winds and thus the trucks transporting these small animals must have lateral wind-protectors. One truck however only had partial side protectors, and thus a few columns of stacked transport crates were exposed to the elements and the rabbits inside were crowded in the back of the crates, as far away as possible from the wind. We took footage to raise awareness of this during our police and livestock transport trainings.

Transport

All farmed animals are transported at least once in their lifetime. Journeys can last anywhere from a few minutes to a few weeks. Transport is known to be one of the most stressful experiences for animals. They are moved from a familiar territory to a new one and are held often under very crowded conditions. They get separated from each other and mixed with unfamiliar animals, which can lead to stress and fighting. Sometimes there is no water and feed available or the animals cannot reach it. Animals that wish to lie down during the journey are at risk of being trampled by the others. Sometimes conditions on board are very cold or very hot, leading to animals dying from hypothermia and suffocation. There are laws in place to prevent these types of problems, but there is very little official inspection during the journey to check if these laws are respected. Eyes on Animals regularly trails and checks livestock transport consignments to see if the welfare of the animals is respected during transit.
