Export & Animal Exports
Every year, millions of animals face the terrifying and dreadful prospect of being transported hundreds or thousands of miles in awful conditions A number of animal charities are involved in campaigns to stop live animal export over such distances such as Stop the Trucks Each year at least 1 billion poultry and 37 million live cattle, pigs, sheep, goats and equines are transported over long distances within the EU and to third countries. |
Stop the Trucks calls for transport of meat instead on transport of live animals. It demands that the remaining live animal transportation must be limited to 8 hours for mammals and 4 hours for poultry.
