Indeed, the system in which we live goes to great lengths to get the meat-eaters thinking only about how to enjoy their food and not about the animal that has to suffer for it.
Therefore, the greatest effort of this fascist system is to keep its crimes hidden so that no one comes up with the idea of questioning the greatest crime of mankind

Animals’ Angels e.V. / report
Animals’ Angels reported Bulgaria to the EU Commission.
Since 2011, we have been documenting how this EU member state in question systematically violates applicable EU regulations for the protection of animals during transport – be it on the export route via Bulgaria to Turkey, during Bulgarian animal transports, or at animal markets.
Over the years we have collected countless pieces of evidence – we have reported more than 92 complaint reports and complaints to the Bulgarian authorities in the past ten years.
They now fill almost 1,300 pages and weigh two files.
A sad result, because behind every report there are so many individual fates – of sheep, cattle, horses and other animals that are degraded, sold and traded as “goods”.
In doing so, they do not even meet the minimum standards of animal welfare.

Again and again, the Bulgarian authorities assured us that we would take action against the obvious grievances – and yet with every further deployment on-site, we found again that nothing had changed for the animals.
And I mean...Article 3 of the European Animal Transport Ordinance:
(General conditions for the transport of animals)
“Nobody may carry out or arrange for an animal to be transported if the animals could suffer injuries or unnecessary suffering” (!!)
Dealing with animals
“1.8. It is forbidden, a) Hit or kick animals; b) exert pressure on particularly sensitive parts of the body, causing unnecessary pain or suffering for the animals; c) to wind animals up with mechanical means attached to the body; d) dragging or pulling animals by the head, ears, horns, legs, tail, or fur, or treating them in such a way that they cause unnecessary pain or suffering;
1.10 In markets and assembly points … Animals that are not used to being tied must remain untied. The animals must have access to water. Animals must not be tied to horns, antlers, nose rings, or leg shackles”.
In most European animal transports and animal markets, however, we always see something completely different.
The breeders, traders and everyone else who benefits from animals doesn’t give a shit what the EU regulation says.
And why should they be interested if there are no controls, neither for animal transports nor to animal markets in Europe, and every animal abuser knows by now that he has to expect little or no punishment?
Who is responsible for punishing crimes against animals in animal transports, farms, slaughterhouses, … in the EU?
After all, what is the EU Commission responsible for?
The EU’s failure to protect animals is becoming more tragic every day.
But what is even worse is the pride of the EU-Commission in its miserable works against the animals.

Most consumers have probably never heard of the fact that many calves and cattle are sold at cruel auctions for fattening and breeding.
Likewise unknown is the fact that both young and adult animals are brought to so-called collection points and from there to other companies, to the slaughterhouse, or abroad.
Video material available to PETA shows recordings of four cattle auctions and a calf collection point, which makes one thing very clear: the animals suffer immensely and those responsible act out of purely economic interests.
(The video is in German, but everything is explained in detail in the article and the pictures speak for themselves anyway).
At such auctions, farmers and breeders can purchase new animals for fattening or breeding.
Animals that cannot find a buyer are sold abroad for below value, because those responsible are only interested in their profit.
As the video recordings show, the animals are constantly stressed. Although they express their panic through constant vocalization, foaming at the mouth, and fearful eyes, their suffering is ignored by those present.
Ultimately, they should be degraded to a commodity and sold at the highest possible auction prices. This rough treatment of sentient beings cannot be justified in the 21st century.
And I mean…German farmers say everywhere: We love our animals!
That such documentaries still exist in one of the richest countries in the world in the 21st century … only shows how corrupt -and therefore incapable of acting- this political system is.
As long as the farm animal- mafia is subsidized with our tax money, mass animal cruelty/keeping, contamination of the groundwater due to plant toxins and manure are promoted.
Most of the politicians in Germany who make decisions about factory farming have their own animal farms.
So they have a personal interest in their preservation.
The cattle farmers are merciless on many farms and businesses.
In some farms in Germany, the superfluous calves are said to be illegally killed shortly after birth.
Agricultural informants speak of it as normal: animals are drowned and slain. The calves are suffocated with a plastic bag over their heads.
Or simply drowned in the manure.
These are the practices.
Originated from the commission of the worst criminals – the meat-eater!

Report of “Animal Welfare Foundation”
🚨 Yesterday evening (February 13th) we received the news that sick cattle from the EU have been detained on board the animal transport ship Elbeik for almost two months.
Elbeik in summer 2020, Tarragona animal export port (Spain).
Bluetongue has been detected in some animals. The animals were therefore not allowed to be unloaded in the destination country Libya.
Since then, the ship has stopped in several countries and unloaded some of the 1,800 cattle originally loaded.
But there are still animals on board. The captain and crew are desperate.
They no longer have enough food and water for the remaining animals.
Last night our teams informed the responsible EU and port authorities. We are working flat out to free the cattle.
Our teams document the loading of European animals onto the transport ship Elbeik.
Conditions on the Elbeik are no exception.
Animals from the EU suspected of having the bluetongue virus were also detained on the ship Karim Allah in December.
Both cases clearly show that the legally required emergency plans do not work for live animal exports by ship.
The animals bear the costs. That is why we call on the EU Commission to stop torture transports immediately!
The ship, Elbeik, carrying unhealthy livestock was ejected out of Tripoli port yesterday under armed patrol, Tripoli’s Interior Ministry reported yesterday.
This came after Libya’sNational Centre for Animal Health(NCAH)had announced Saturday (23 January) that it had refused to approve the entry of two shipments totaling 2,671 cattle. The livestock shipments had arrived at Tripoli port earlier in January.
The violating shipments of cattle were on board the ship “Karim Allah” carrying 895 calves, and Elbeik carrying 1,776 calves.
The NCAH, part of the Tripoli Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Marine Wealth, had said that the reason for the rejection is the shipment’s violation of the general health and veterinary conditions.
It had added that it subjects all shipments of live animals imported from abroad to control, from the time they leave the country of origin until they reach the Libyan ports.
It had stressed that only healthy animals and their products are allowed to be tested to see their conformity.
Yesterday, the Interior Ministry said the Elbeik left Tripoli port with its full shipment to Spain, where the patrols of the General Administration of Coastal Security and the patrols of the Coast Guard were coordinated with the Tripoli Maritime Port Security Directorate to accompany the ship until it had left the Libyan territorial waters.
It stressed they were ready to ‘‘take the necessary actions in case of violation’’.
No mention was made of the “Karim Allah” carrying the rejected 895 calves.
The biggest offense from the beginning was to transport sick animals in order to earn money with them.
We don’t know which EU country the animals come from, we only know from the Lebanese press that they are loaded in a port in Spain.
Someone there confirmed that the animals are healthy and fit for transport, even though they were not.
Who wants to do his job right and controls 2,600 cattle?
And that’s what happens in the EU!
In the EU, whose countries call themselves civilized.
With the best animal transport protection law in the world.
Where almost no one adheres to this law.
So we don’t need an EU.
It’s a corrupt, animal-hostile corporation, nothing more.

Animal Equality’s undercover footage has revealed animals suffering from prolonged pain in a Scottish Salmon Company slaughterhouse. The investigation, showing fish-killing processes, is the first of its kind to be released in the UK.
The Scottish Salmon Company supplies major UK supermarkets Waitrose and Co-op, alongside premium retailers, hotels, and restaurants. The corporation also has a global reach, exporting its products to over 20 countries across the world.
In the UK, up to 77 million fish are raised and killed every single year – that’s over two per second.
Today, we released our latest investigation. As the first of its kind showing undercover footage from within a Scottish salmon slaughterhouse, it is truly groundbreaking.
Several extremely serious animal welfare cases of abuse were witnessed. A significant number of salmon were filmed fully conscious when killed; others were thrown to the ground and left to languish.
The company that owns and operates the slaughterhouse has been linked to Waitrose and the Co-op.
Scottish produce is often perceived by consumers as synonymous with ‘higher welfare’ and ‘higher quality’ practices, yet our investigation shows that even with stunning machinery in use, there is chaos, confusion, and unimaginable suffering.
Our investigation shows that fish need stronger protection.
Despite a stunning device being in place in this facility, numerous salmon displayed consciousness at the time of slaughter, evidenced by flapping, wriggling, and grasping motions.
Many salmon’s gills were cut when they were still conscious, causing them to be in agony for up to several minutes as a result.
Some salmon were stunned with a club after their gills were cut, causing their blood to spray out. In some instances, conscious animals were clubbed as many as seven times.
And I mean…In the open sea, fish are caught in huge nets and squeezed together.
The animals’ bodies are ruthlessly crushed in the nets.
Fish lying further up in the nets suffocate in the air because they do not need anesthetic. Those that survived the transport from the water onboard are sometimes still processed alive.
Other fish are stored and prepared in a state somewhere between dead and alive.
Pulled on board, numerous fish are stabbed, trampled, and beaten to death or thrown alive into the freezer, where they slowly and painfully suffocate.
Many are still alive if their gills and stomach are cut open.
There is the saying … “If fish could scream, people would be much more sensitive to the suffering of fish.”
That’s not true!
We have learned to hear nothing, to see nothing, and consequently do nothing against the violence that is used on animals every day.
Even if the screaming becomes loud, we have learned not to feel anything, which in other words means not to feel responsible for the suffering that we ourselves cause.
Worse still, we consider it our right to cooperate with the system that makes us indifferent killers.
The human-animal is one of many living beings on this earth that has the same right to live here as other living beings.
And: Anyone who maltreats or tortures an animal devalues his own humanity.
