Stop long-distance transport of animals for slaughter

Register

Quote:

Every week, hundreds of millions of farm animals endure journeys, sometimes lasting days, weeks or months, in cramped conditions on their way to slaughter.

They experience stress and exhaustion, rough handling, hunger and thirst, extreme temperatures and unsanitary conditions as they are transported live across the world. As a result, the animals suffer horrific injuries, diseases are spread and many die before reaching their destination.

We already have the technology to transport fresh chilled and frozen meat, and the science to prove the welfare benefits of local, humane slaughter. For these reasons, long distance transport is not only cruel, it is unnecessary.

Find out more and sign a petition asking for this long-distance transport to slaughter to end

From what I can see, this is a email not a petiton... sent anyway.

This petition has changed into another petition against the export of animals from Brazil...

Um... okay. Does that counteract some of the effort for both petitions?!

Well it would have been nice if they had kept something up about the original petition especially as it appeared in newspapers.

But it just looks unorganised to the people you're writing to as well... like you don't know what you're talking about.

Yeah, I mean I was confused when I went to the site to find out info about the original petition only to find a new one in it's place!
