04.05.2012 Training of highway police in Brugge (Belgium)

04052012_training_highway_police_belgium

In a former Roman-Catholic church in Brugge we gave a training presentation to the West-Flanders highway police. Aside from police, there were also official veterinarians and people from health-services present.
The first part of the training was given by an inspector policeman. In a comprehensible power-point-presentation he taught his colleagues all about the laws, decrees and documents concerning animal transport. The sound of an acolyte’s bell indicated it was time for a break.
After the break Lesley and Lydia did the Eyes on Animals training. They presented lots of examples from the field and how to deal with certain situations in practice.
The required knowledge will be applied three days later during an inspection day of livestock trucks on the West-Flanders highway, deo volente, one could say at a religious place like this.
We would like to also thank the Dinamo Fond for helping us financially so that we can afford to go to these trainings and make our training material.


 

Training highway police Belgium

"A law is only as effective as its enforcement"
The European animal transport legislation was created with the aim of preventing animal suffering during transport. Unfortunately in practice, this legislation is still too often ignored , resulting in animals forced to endure crowded conditions, lack of water and food, injuryand exhaustion. Once an animal truck leaves its place of loading, it can be hours and even days before the animals arrive at their destination. During these long journeys, there are sadly no routine inspections. The animals in transit urgently need the highway police throughout Europe to get involved. They have the authority to stop livestock trucks on the road and fine the perpetrator. Unfortunately, the highway police do not learn about the animal transport laws in their standard curriculum. This is why we offer the trainings to them ourselves.Eyes on Animals started training the Belgian highway police in 2009.
