1. TRANSPORT TRAUMAS
—————————-

Animals at auction suffering from broken legs, infected eyes, foaming mouths and sores, forced to travel more than 30 hours in hot, overcrowded conditions without food, water or rest. These were among the findings of a just-released investigation by the Animal Protection Institute (API) and Compassion in World Farming that documents the transport of cows in the U.S. and pigs from the U.S. to slaughterhouses in Mexico. Dead and dying animals were also filmed at the auctions. API Chief Executive Michelle Thew said: „Farmed animals are typically moved several times during their lives…. Our investigation demonstrates that government action is urgently needed to regulate the transport of farmed animals and set a maximum journey time of eight hours.” The organizations are also calling on consumers and retailers to help. The report, entitled „Driving Pain,” along with video and photos, can be viewed at: http://tinyurl.com/lekep

The Canadian Food Inspection Agency may amend the section of the Health of Animals Act that covers the transport of farmed animals in order to reflect changes that have occurred since the law’s introduction 30 years ago. The Albert Farm Animal Care Association is urging the Agency to be flexible in regards to evolving industry practices and standards.

In the U.S., PETA is seeking legal action against Smithfield Foods for failing to promptly treat and/or euthanize pigs suffering from accidents involving the company’s trucks. Smithfield counters that it has a policy of responding as quickly as possible and euthanizing pigs as soon as they are identified as severely injured.
