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!

@AWF_Germany @Food_EU Report 1️⃣ investigates the transport of cows looking at which factors (bedding, jounrey lenght, loading density) have the strongest impacts on the #welfare of the animals. Outcome: Insufficient welfare provisions overwhelmingly impact an animal’s physical + emotional health.

@DyrBeskyt @Welfarm @EssereAnimali 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. bit.ly/3Xi0nXn

🐴 Recent investigations by @AWF_Germany & @AnimalsAngelsUS reveal the cruel treatment of #horses slaughtered in 🇨🇦 & 🇺🇾 for 🇪🇺 consumption. We call on the @EU_Commission to stop imports of #horsemeat from these countries. Click here to find out more ⤵️ bit.ly/44tqJtq

#ActNow for horses ✍️ Sign @AWF_Germany's #petition calling for the production + use of the hormone #eCG to be stopped altogether. The hormon is extracted from the blood of pregnant mares in 🇮🇸 and is used to manage feritility on #EU + #UK pig farms. bit.ly/3N1X5Wo

Setzt euch mit uns gegen Qualtransporte ein. Sendet heute, am internationalen Tag gegen Tiertransporte, eine digitale Postkarte an die exportbefürwortenden EU-Minister mit der Forderung #StopptTiertransporte 🖃 ciwf.org.uk/page/128567/ac…

@AWF_Germany, @tierschutz_bund + other NGOs accused pharma company Isteka of #greenwashing after it made claims to justify the use of #eCG - a hormone obtained from the blood of pregnant mares in 🇮🇸 #BloodFarms and used to manage fertility on pig farms ⤵️ bit.ly/3mn3Bg0

🐴🐷 Stuten & ihre Fohlen sowie Sauen & ihre Ferkel sind die traurigen Verlierer, leiden und sterben für die Profitgier solcher Unternehmen. Mit @AWF_Germany, @WWF_Deutschland & @bund_net fordern wir, Import, Produktion & Einsatz von PMSG zu verbieten. ✍️ animal-welfare-foundation.org/pmsg-verbot-de…

🐄🚚 @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

@AWF_Germany 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

@AWF_Germany 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. Find out more ⬇ bit.ly/3R3AGZ4

@AWF_Germany 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. 🚚❌

@AWF_Germany 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 bit.ly/3KvtMZU
