These animals experience some of the worst welfare conditions imaginable. Every email sent really can make a difference to the plight of these animals. Please ask friends and family to take action now and help stop this horrific trade.

Millions of animals are transported every year from the EU to destinations including the Middle East, Turkey, Russia and North Africa. Journeys might last hundreds of hours and can even result in the death of the animals involved before they reach their destination. Please act now to stop this trade.

Compassion in World Farming’s Investigations Unit, and European NGOs Eyes on Animals and Animal Welfare Foundation have trailed animals travelling from the EU to Turkey.

The footage taken during recent investigations is truly shocking: Delays at the border crossing between the EU and Turkey, and overcrowding, led to hunger, dehydration, injury and even death.

Every year, around 700,000 sheep and cattle are exported from the EU to Turkey. Hundreds of thousands are destined for countries in the Middle East, Russia and North Africa. View map in more detail (pdf).

 

The more we care for the happiness of others,

the greater our own sense of well-being becomes.
