Trächtigen Stuten wird qualvoll Blut abgenommen, um daraus das Hormon PMSG zu gewinnen. Dann wird es Sauen verabreicht, damit sie mehr Ferkel werfen. @AWF_Germany fordert: @cem_oezdemir soll die derzeitige Überarbeitung des Tierschutzgesetzes nutzen und PMSG endlich verbieten!

@AWF_Germany @Food_EU Report 1️⃣ investigates the transport of cows looking at which factors (bedding, jounrey lenght, loading density) have the strongest impacts on the #welfare of the animals.

Outcome: Insufficient welfare provisions overwhelmingly impact an animal’s physical + emotional health.

[Eurogroup For Animals @Act4AnimalsEU]

@DyrBeskyt @Welfarm @EssereAnimali In February, @AWF_Germany reported on the arrest of a ship transporting thousands of 🐄 to the Middle East for carrying 4.5 tonnes of cocaine.

Drug trafficking targeting ships carrying animals is another wake-up call to finally ban #liveexports.

Sign @AWF_Germany's #petition calling for the production + use of the hormone #eCG to be stopped altogether.

The hormon is extracted from the blood of pregnant mares in 🇮🇸 and is used to manage feritility on #EU + #UK pig farms.

@AWF_Germany has been putting #LiveTransport in the spotlight recently with some new investigations - including one that shows unweaned calves are being starved and denied water on long and difficult journeys. 💔

What else did they discover? ⬇ https://t.co/UM9qICchfy

[Eurogroup For Animals @Act4AnimalsEU]

@AWF_Germany It's clear these young sentient beings are suffering - and that needs to change.

🇩🇪📺 Tune in at 8:15pm CET tonight to learn about the experiences of calves during #LiveTransport from Germany to Spain. https://t.co/1OggIOHKxQ

[Eurogroup For Animals @Act4AnimalsEU]

@AWF_Germany This is not okay.

Innocent beings should not be subjected to lengthy, difficult, injurious and sometimes fatal journeys. @EU_Health must revise the Transport Regulation to put their #welfare first.

@AWF_Germany Over Easter, @AWF_Germany also investigated the long-distance transport of #lambs being taken to Italy.

Since 2016, the NGO has repeatedly seen the same violations being committed by the same transport companies. 🚚❌

[Eurogroup For Animals @Act4AnimalsEU]

@AWF_Germany By intercepting trucks with the help of the police, they discovered:

❌ Too many animals being transported at once
❌ Inadequate drinking systems in place
❌ Barely enough room for the animals to move
❌ Animals trapped in uncomfortable positions
