In sub-zero winter temperatures, we joined forces with French NGO Welfarm to inspect animal transports on a major Polish highway. Our observations once again highlight the problematic conditions faced by many animals on Europe's roads.

On Wednesday, the livestock carrier "Darla" was scheduled to set sail for Algeria with almost 8,000 sheep on board – despite bad weather. Our warning to the authorities has stopped the ship for now, but the case shows once again that current EU regulations for animal transport by sea are inadequate, scientific findings are being ignored, and…

After more than two years of research, we are releasing a new documentary exposing the suffering of blood mares in Uruguay and Argentina. The film reveals the shocking reality faced by pregnant mares on these farms: coercion, panic, untreated injuries, and relentless abuse define their daily existence.

Over the last few days, we have been traveling between Slovenia and Italy to inspect lamb transports. We checked a total of 9 trucks transportig lambs and two trucks transporting bopvines. Apart from minor violations—such as insufficient ceiling height or drinking troughs that are unsuitable for lambs—we did not find any serious abuses. This is a…

Such a tragedy must never be repeated! We have submitted the signatures to WOAH and are calling for an investigation into the case and a ban on the transport of live animals on the high seas!

For the nearly 3,000 cattle on board – half of which are pregnant – this means another month crammed onto the ship. Food and water are scarce. Most, if not all, of the…

For over two weeks, the vessel “Spiridon II” with 2,901 cattle from Uruguay on board has been stuck off the Turkish coast. The authorities are refusing to allow the animals to be unloaded because there are discrepancies in their ear tags. The cattle have now been on the ship for a total of more than 50 days. According to a letter from the ship's…

Our team traveled to the Turkish-Bulgarian border to check whether there are still problems with animal transports there. Fortunately, the number of transports to Turkey has now dropped significantly, thanks to our work. However, our observations also show that despite small steps forward, the suffering of animals remains a reality—and real…

For the second time in just four weeks, our team has documented calf transports at a collection point in Germany, near the Dutch border. Every week, two to three livestock trucks depart from there, loaded with up to 700 young calves. Most of the animals are taken to fattening farms in the Netherlands.
