Workshop on Animal Transport in Oldenburg (Germany)

April 18-19, 2024 | Germany | Oldenburg | Animal Transport Workshop

Together with Dr. Alexander Rabitsch, we conducted a two-day animal transport workshop with the police in Oldenburg. Police and veterinary offices from neighbouring districts also participated. During the animal transport inspection on the motorway, over 20 transport vehicles carrying pigs, poultry, cattle, horses, dogs, and even zoo animals were checked. All participants were deeply affected by the condition of the broiler chickens and turkeys. Their suffering is severe, with legal protections and, consequently, the scope for action being extremely limited. Nonetheless, numerous violations were penalised on this day of inspections.
