Eyes on Animals trailed a truck with Dutch pigs on board destined for a slaughterhouse near Budapest, Hungary. While driving through Germany it was stopped by the police so that the papers and condition of the animals could be quickly checked. We checked on the pigs on each level. The water system was turned on and some pigs were drinking from it during the inspection. They were calm, nevertheless they appeared at their maximum loading density. On the papers it was written that the pigs had 105m2 of space, but later when back in the office we checked the RDW internet site and found out that this vehicle only has 95,48m2! We will send a letter to the VWA authorities and make sure that this company no longer falsifies their documents regarding loading space!

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.
