Report Alleges Severe Suffering in Live Horse Air Cargo Trade
A new report from animal welfare organizations alleges that horses are enduring extreme suffering during transport for slaughter. The investigation details grueling journeys from the Americas and Australia to the European Union. These transports, involving both road and air freight, are criticized for inadequate conditions and care. The report documents long periods without sufficient food, water, or rest for the animals. Consequently, the groups are urging for a complete ban on horse meat imports into the EU, citing systemic cruelty in the supply chain.
