Een Franse locatie waar dieren op transport even rust kunnen krijgen,
is een hel voor dieren, waar vooral jonge dieren het slachtoffer zijn
van een behandeling die niet anders kan worden gezien dan een smerige
vorm van marteling, die niet zelden uitdraait op de dood van het dier, zo blijkt uit video opnamen…..

Animal
Petitions is daarom een petitie gestart om de Ierse minister van
landbouw te bewegen een verbod in te stellen op veetransporten met
jonge dieren als kalveren…

Beste

Save
Newborn Calves From Trauma-Filled Torture Factories

Target:
Michael Creed, Ireland’s Minister for Agriculture, Food and the
Marine

Goal:
Ban inhumane live exports of calves and other young animals.

A
French location billed as a needed respite for live export animals
has revealed itself as an apparent living nightmare. Video footage
obtained from animal welfare activists appears to show horrific
brutality committed against Irish-born calves held at this post.
Repeated beatings with batons, unrelenting kicking and punching, and
painful ear yanking are apparently laid bare for the world to see in
the shocking videos. Some of the victims seemingly cannot even stand
or even move without dragging their maimed legs behind them.

In
just the short time activists caught these alleged abusers in the
act, 5,000 plus calves imported from Ireland (many just weeks old)
were left in the ‘care’ of the Tollevast-based control post.
These baby animals had already endured a likely traumatic ride on
live export trucks. The post should have been the one haven where the
vulnerable calves could receive needed rest and nourishment. Instead,
their heads were allegedly rammed into feeding devices and the only
‘rest’ they appeared to receive occurred after they collapsed
from shockingly inhumane abuse. One poor calf can be seen laying on
the ground while a worker apparently jumps repeatedly on his battered
body.

While
some employees allegedly seen in the videos were arrested by French
police, the post where these horrific happenings occurred is still
deemed a “high-quality” location. In fact, it recently benefited
from European Union-loaned money to “expand” its operations.
Meanwhile, laws regarding live exports are not strictly enforced; the
rates of calves being sent to these essential torture chambers from
Ireland increase an estimated 30 percent each year. Advocates believe
the most fundamental solution to this growing form of animal cruelty
is an outright ban on the export of un-weaned animals.

Sign
this petition to support an initiative that could save the lives of
millions of young animals.

Demand
immediate changes in the live export industry that exploits and
slaughters helpless animals.

PETITION
LETTER:

Dear
Mr. Creed,

“It
is heartbreaking to see how these vulnerable animals, still unstable
on their legs and dependent on their mothers’ milk, undergo
horrific violence during transport.” The alleged inhumane torture
detailed in the aforementioned Tollevast, France live export case are
far from isolated incidents of animal cruelty, however. These living
beings, ripped from their homes at the most vulnerable time of their
lives, deserve far better than barbaric mistreatment.

Male
calves are often discarded like trash by dairy farmers. They do not
benefit from the comfort and nourishment provided by their mothers.
Instead, they are crammed into cramped vehicles and driven to
locations where they often endure even more trauma. At the French
post alone, videos allegedly document repeated baton strikes, kicks,
punches, head bashing, ear dragging, and—in one grotesque case—a
worker jumping on a prone calf as if the baby animal were a
trampoline. These calves are so young in some instances that they
cannot even walk without wobbling, yet their ‘caretakers’
seemingly feel compelled to rush them through transport and treat
them as living stress relief punching bags in the interim.

One
of the inspectors who authored the shocking details of the Tollevast
case stated most succinctly: “Our demand is to ban the long [haul]
transport of unweaned animals because in this transportation, there
cannot be animal welfare.” Watch even one still shot of the horrors
that appear to take place in these  supposedly ‘high -quality’
live export facilities, and you will agree. The images shock the
conscience, but they must spur change.

Take
the action needed to spare countless young animals from a fate worse
than death.

Sincerely,

[Your
Name Here]

==================================

Hier nog een video van kalveren die in een slachthuis wachten op hun dood, alleen omdat ze van het verkeerde geslacht zijn, het manlijke…… In de melkindustrie moeten koeien om de zoveel tijd kalveren werpen, daar ze anders geen melk meer geven….. De kalveren worden voor het overgrote deel binnen een paar dagen bij hun moeder weggehaald (waar de moederkoe dagenlang loeit om haar kalf en de kalveren hun moeder en moedermelk missen….), voor de manlijke variant is geen functie, anders dan als kalfsvlees te dienen in de schappen van jouw supermarkt……

Stop de grootschalige dierenmishandeling en eet of gebruik geen vlees of zuivel! (ook beter voor je lichaam, het milieu en het klimaat)
