England: Irish Calf Export Investigations – Additional. By Mark – 2010 Investigations and EU Report.

Re https://worldanimalsvoice.com/2023/07/16/ireland-milking-it-utterly-unacceptable-and-unlawful-irelands-mistreatment-of-male-calves/

Back in 2010 I was the EU correspondent for a Kent based anti live animal export group, named KAALE; At that time I worked with Lesley, founder of ‘Eyes on Animals’ (Netherlands) – Eyes on Animals – Watching out for their Welfare, also PMAF (now Welfarm) in France  Welfarm – World Farm Animal Protection – Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia, also Animals Angels (Germany)  Stop Animal Transports! – ANIMALS‘ ANGELS (animals-angels.de) to produce a large report on the transportation of live dairy calves from Ireland into France (via Cherbourg).

You can read more about the report and the investigations at  About Us. | Serbian Animals Voice (SAV)

Scroll down until you come across the images of the calves and the transporters.

The report comprised several investigations into the Irish calf export business.  Here is a link to one of the investigation reports:

Microsoft Word – JH.04.03.2010_REPORT on NON-COMPLIANCE with RESTING TIMES in relation to CONTROL POST at F-HEAUVILLE.doc (wordpress.com)

Hundreds of copies of the report were printed and sent to MEP’s at he EU, with the hope it would make difference.

So for some of us, and you as campaigners, the new investigation footage shown at Ireland: Milking It – “Utterly unacceptable and unlawful”: Ireland’s mistreatment of male calves. – World Animals Voice  comes as no surprise at all.  The investigative work back in 2010 concentrated on a staging (control) post (stop, unload, feed calves) associated with an operator named Pignet. 

By pure coincidence, Lesley has additional Pignet control post abuse footage in the current EoA site – you can read more about it here – Violence against young calves at Pignet control post (eyesonanimals.com)

The fight for animal justice goes on – stop live animal transports !
