Hunting dogs are trained and tested on live foxes for construction hunts in training facilities.

For the foxes who are abused for this, this means a sad life in the oppressive confines of a barren enclosure on the edge of the minimum legal requirements.

And it means a life in constant fear of the next use as an exercise object.

Because the fox cannot know that physical contact between him and the aggressive hunting dog is forbidden in training facilities and should be prevented by sliders in the artificial tunnel system. He suffers from stress and fear of death again and again.

The dogs should learn to be able to chase after the foxes through the corridors of the fox den.
For this purpose, an artificial structure with several corridors made of concrete tubes or slabs is built, which meet and converge again and again in different places.

The hunter decides how far the fox can flee and whether the dog should reach him or not using the slider, lid, and grille.
A fox is driven into the tube.
Follow the dog.
In contrast to the real own foxhole, the fox does not know its way around these corridors.

If the dog has caught the fox safely, the hunter watches with amusement as the dog tears the fox to pieces.
If the fox succeeds in repelling the dog or if there is even a risk of injury to the dog, the hunter will of course help his dog to kill the fox.

This is the training facility with living objects, with foxes

This cruel type of exploitation is being practiced particularly frequently again these days.

According to our information, there are currently over 100 such pieces of training systems in Germany.

And I mean…Training facilities with foxes can also be called torture chambers for foxes.

The conditions for keeping foxes are terrible.

As usual, it is denied, but the foxes – like the hunting dogs in Spain – vegetate under poor conditions. It’s just about them living long enough to be hunted down in training and ultimately killed.

The German animal protection law states:

§3. Section 7: It is forbidden to train or test an animal for sharpness on another living animal.

Paragraph 8: It is forbidden to set an animal on another animal unless this is required by the principles of grazing-friendly hunting.

Yes! In Germany, murder, rape, speeding, and tax evasion are also prohibited. But that doesn’t seem to be a reason that it doesn’t happen.

The most perverse kind, and a pictorial document of how far one goes in training dogs, is shown in this photo from England.

As can be seen, wires are driven through the joints of foxes so that they cannot escape and defend themselves properly.

Then the dogs are chased on them.

So we don’t have to go to China or Spain for cruelty to animals of the most perfidious kind.

This happens right on our doorstep…

My best regards to all, Venus

The economic interests of the poultry mafia have so far been one of these “reasonable reasons” for the brutal massacre of 45 million male chicks in hatcheries in Germany every year.

Germany produced 20 billion eggs in 2020.
A horror crowd!

To do this, over 45 million hens in Germany have to live a miserable existence in cramped, dark stables.
The ban on shredding from 2022 is an overdue step and does not change anything in the basic exploitation and suffering of chickens.

In 2019, 45.3 million male chicks were massacred in Germany.
They do not lay eggs and put on little meat.
Under this logic, it is legal male chicks brutally gas or shredded a few hours after they saw the light of day.

Producing living beings in order to kill them is the worst form of fascism.

The Traffic Police, as part of the usual checks prepared by the Department of Public Safety on the occasion of the Easter holidays, ordered a halt to an articulated vehicle used for transporting animals that were carrying a large load of lambs bound for Apulia (Italy).

In the truck, lambs piled up and without water!

Italy

It happened along with the A13 Bologna – Padua motorway, on the morning of 23 March around 11.00, when the agents pulled the heavy vehicle to the side outside the Altedo (Bologna) toll booth and found that the animals transported inside the semi-trailer were piled up and without water.

When asked for clarification by the Agents, the two transporters showed signs of nervousness and impatience, so much so as to induce the Polstrada to investigate further with the help of the veterinarians of the Health Authority of Bologna USL.

After a thorough inspection, they ascertained that the animals were dehydrated because the watering system had not been previously supplied before departure.

It was also ascertained that the lambs were too crowded together so as not to have enough space to move due to the high density, as well as due to the too low height of the roof between one loading floor and the other of the semi-trailer.

After supplying the lambs with water, connecting the water system of the barracks in the Altedo Subsection to that of the vehicle complex, policemen and veterinarians put pen to paper a long series of administrative penalties for the two drivers for a total of 15,000 euros.

In the coming weeks, the Traffic Police will further intensify checks on the transport of live animals.

This video is from Animals’ Angels and it accompanies the campaign of German Animal Welfare Office: “Animal transports don’t taste good”

Translated text: “According to the law, transports up to 12 hours do not need a ventilation and drinking system (!!!)
Not a drop of water at 35 degrees in the shade
Sheep are transported on three levels.
Lambs even on four.
Lambs are entitled to less than 0.2 m² of space for transport.
Sheep need 10 times the transport time to recover – should they survive the transport.
The animals suffer from hunger and are often cured before dying of thirst
You can stop animal transport
Choose plant-based alternatives to meat, milk, and eggs”.

And I mean…The reason why animals are still transported alive is simple: a refrigerated truck for meat costs more.

Significantly more sheep and lambs are transported at Easter than usual, especially in southern Europe. The conditions for the animals on the relevant routes are mostly miserable.

Most trucks load up to 800 animals, which is not uncommon.

The more “goods” the more money.
In this way, the transporters increase their profit – at the expense and suffering of the animals.

Because they are usually loaded on four floors, the lambs hit the ceiling with their heads.
That is not allowed, but who controls it?

In addition, they cannot lie and rest at the same time, run the risk of being trampled on by the other animals or have difficulty or no access to the water troughs.
If there is.
If this is not the case, as, in our present one, there are penalties.

A big THANK YOU to the Italian police.
They did nothing but their duty, namely to control the transport of animals and if there are sinners, punish them.

Sheep rescued from the capsized “Queen Hind”

This world would really have been a bit more bearable for the animals if everyone had done their job right and conscientious.

NGO investigations and EU audits carried out since 2010 have shown non-compliance with relevant EU requirements relating to animal welfare and traceability of horses in Argentina, Australia, Canada, and Uruguay.

Horses are systematically neglected and mistreated along the production chain of horsemeat.

They are beaten, kicked, and receive electric shocks. They are malnourished and exposed to extreme weather conditions in slaughterhouse pens and at assembly centers.

Injured, sick, and weak horses receive no veterinary care and are left to die unassisted.

Currently, EU animal welfare requirements only apply to slaughterhouses.

The assembly centers and transport are not covered by EU rules. Horses are transported over long distances without water, crammed together in unsuitable cattle trailers, and many do not survive the journey to the slaughterhouse.

For several years, NGOs have been providing evidence that the audits of the EU Commission and European importers are manipulated by horse dealers and slaughterhouse operators.

Australia, Meramist Slaughterhouse

For example, pregnant, injured, sick, and emaciated horses are replaced or removed.

The reports of the latest EU audits in Uruguay and Argentina state that the assembly centers were either empty or the horses had been exchanged shortly before the visit.

In the above-mentioned countries, horses are not considered to be food-producing animals and are commonly given drugs that are prohibited in the EU for use in horses destined for human consumption.

The traceability systems in place are unreliable, as they rely on the honesty of horse owners and dealers, who give sworn declarations on the medical treatments in the six months prior to slaughter.

Argentina, a slaughterhouse in Land L: Injured horses are pulled from the transporters with chains and left to die.

In the EU, horses are microchipped and have a passport showing their medical history.

In the export countries, they are tagged shortly before being sent to slaughter. Due to the lack of traceability, horses of unknown origin and with unclear drug history as well as stolen horses enter the food chain, which poses a high food safety risk for European consumers.

We call upon the European Commissioners Stella Kyriakides (DG SANTE) and Valdis Dombrovskis (DG Trade):

https://www.change.org/p/european-commissioner-stella-kyriakides-dg-sante-demand-an-import-ban-for-cruelly-produced-horsemeat-from-overseas

And I mean…In Australia, they are called “wastage”, literally translated as “waste”. This refers to racehorses that are no longer profitable when they become unusable if they are disposed of as cheap goods in the slaughterhouse.

They have done their “service” on gallop tracks, trotting tracks, or in breeding farms.

As a thank you, they are disposed of at the Meramist slaughterhouse.
Around 10,000 racehorses a year !!

They are cruelly killed in the EU-approved Meramist slaughterhouse, exclusively for export.

Their meat ends up mainly on European plates.
In Belgium and Switzerland, there are companies and associations that have for decades benefited massively from the import of horse meat from cheap, tortured production.

The Belgian company Multimeat is the owner of the Meramist slaughterhouse, and in Switzerland, it is the Association of Swiss Horse Meat Importers (VPI).

Multimeat is a participant in the online marketing platform with the cynical name “Respectful Life” for imported horses

From the report of the “Tierschutz Bund Zürich” and Animal Welfare Foundation:

“Covertly filmed recordings of the slaughtering process in the slaughterhouse in Meramist show how horses are tormented for minutes through incorrect stunning and repeated shooting (up to five times).

Like horses that have failed to stun with a nail gun, rearing up, falling on their backs, and trying to get back on their feet. How badly anesthetized horses are hung up to bleed, defend themselves, pant for breath in panic, open their eyes in pain, clamp themselves with legs, which then break. How their nostrils are cut off when they are conscious.

Nobody can explain to us why this additional torture is. We see workers kicking the horses lying on the ground in the face or pressing their heads down with their feet in order to start the bolt shot again”.

For years we have been demanding that the import of horse meat from torture production be banned.

But how much hope is there if the EU is involved in the business itself?

The problem is the system, and the meat production system has fascist policies that are responsible for the animal holocaust
