Trächtigen Stuten wird qualvoll Blut abgenommen, um daraus das Hormon PMSG zu gewinnen. Dann wird es Sauen verabreicht, damit sie mehr Ferkel werfen. @AWF_Germany fordert: @cem_oezdemir soll die derzeitige Überarbeitung des Tierschutzgesetzes nutzen und PMSG endlich verbieten!
Keine Pferdequal für Billigfleisch - fordern über 76.000 Unterzeichner*innen. Heute übergibt @AWF_Germany ihre WeAct-Petition an @OpheliaNick in Vertretung für @cem_oezdemir . Özdemir soll sich endlich für ein Verbot des Qualhormons PMSG im neuen Tierschutzgesetz einsetzen!

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.

@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.

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
