The EU’s shameful mass exportation of sentient beings should be condemned in the strongest terms. Over 1.5 billion innocents endure the hellish torment of live transportation each year under brutally inadequate rules prioritizing profit over welfare.
Subjected to limitless suffering on land and sea for weeks without food or rest, animals deserve far better than this legalized cruelty. Poultry comprise the vast majority of victims in this factory farming atrocity, while horses and others also endure untold misery.
Not only does this malicious industry permit the transport of heavily pregnant, injured and sick beings to prolonged agony – it has zero accountability beyond EU borders, disappearing millions into horrific fates. Negligent “oversight” facilitates constant neglect, injury and starvation aboard floating torture chambers.
Recent horrendous incidents reveal the fatal flaws inherent in this depraved system, drowning thousands in unnecessary watery graves. Even official reviews condemn its complete structural failure and disregard for sentience.
While praising countries moving to curb live exports, the corrupt Commission disgraces itself by allowing such a barbaric travesty to continue without meaningful reform. Only a full ban on third-country exports can begin to atone for this moral bankruptcy.
The revisions represent a chance to repent for these unspeakable crimes against nature. Failure to seize it with decisive action condemns the EU as an enemy of compassion itself. Decency demands nothing less than an end to live transportation’s reign of terror.
