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. bit.ly/3Xi0nXn

🐴 Recent investigations by @AWF_Germany & @AnimalsAngelsUS reveal the cruel treatment of #horses slaughtered in 🇨🇦 & 🇺🇾 for 🇪🇺 consumption. We call on the @EU_Commission to stop imports of #horsemeat from these countries. Click here to find out more ⤵️ bit.ly/44tqJtq

#ActNow for horses ✍️ 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. bit.ly/3N1X5Wo

🐄🚚 @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? ⬇ bit.ly/3oaKCG0

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. bit.ly/3MwJvui

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. Find out more ⬇ bit.ly/3R3AGZ4

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. 🚚❌

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 bit.ly/3KvtMZU
