Tell the Minister of Agriculture to Update Canada's Archaic Animal Transport Regulations
|
Cruelty Critics “This short video shows some of the worst abuse of animals that I have ever seen. The video shows a huge amount of pain and distress caused by ignorant workers (and an apparently complicit CFIA Inspector) and exacerbated by poorly designed handling facilities.” Dr. Ian Duncan “It is extremely worrisome that the people who work at this facility, including the CFIA staff, show such disrespect and lack of compassion for the animals in their care. These people and the owner must be held accountable.” Dr. Mary Richardson “Detusking of boars is unnecessary. In the Netherlands, boars are moved in individual pens. Boars are never moved in groups!” Dr. Kees Scheepens “A variety of stressors involved in transport are key factors that strongly contribute to poor welfare in transported animals and they also increase the susceptibility to infection. ... Transport should therefore be avoided wherever possible and journeys should be as short as possible.” Scientific Panel on Animal Health and Welfare, European Food Safety Authority “Numerous and serious animal welfare concerns were uncovered in this investigation which need to be addressed; not only at this plant but by the entire industry. Most egregious of these was the callous disregard for the suffering of these sentient beings, especially the downer animals and mature boars.” Dr. Debi Zimmermann |
