Compassion in World Farming is appealing to companies across the globe to put a stop to the millions of animals being transported huge distances, only to be slaughtered. Long distance transport is not only cruel and inhumane, but also totally unnecessary.
Around 6 million farm animals in Europe alone are transported huge distances for slaughter, with some journeys taking up to 70 hours. The animals are jammed tight into hot, overcrowded trucks with no water or food, and many die during the journey. These poor animals deserve better treatment, and hopefully will, thanks to Compassion in World farmings tireless campaigning to reveal and document those who inflict this mindless suffering.
Compassion in World Farming has been working to end cruelty to farm animals for over 30 years, and has managed to make a significant reduction in the number of long distance journeys farm animals have to suffer. By exposing those who breach the law by using video footage to make formal complaints to the European Commission, Compassion in World Farming will continue to fight for the rights of farm animals across the globe.
