There are very strong ethical reasons to modersise the global animal welfare policy. ‘Forward For Animals’ is an organisation calling on EU decision makers to do just that.
On thousands of farms right across the EU, animals are constantly suffering in silence from both cruelty and neglect. We have exposed this so many times on WAV; along with the other excellent organisations (in this particular case) within the EU.
Laws that were created to allegedly give these same animals ‘protection’ in some instances are now over 40 years old. They never have given animals ‘protection’ – they are laws which have always been, and continue to be, unfit for purpose. As a result, sentient living animals continue to suffer daily.
Forward For Animals in the latest campaign from the Eurogroup for Animals network. It looks to expose the reality of life for suffering farm animals throughout the EU; to debunk the myths spewed out by the industry; and to provide positive ways forward for all stakeholders.
The European Commission launched a much needed revision for animal welfare some 5 years ago, with the promise of presenting the proposal by 2024. Suprise, suprise, the EU has failed to deliver once again – the promise to review the rules and make them open to the public – a commitment to modernise and change the rules continues to be pushed back and delayed further.
Responding to continued and increased pressure to deliver on the proposals, the Commissioner for Animal Welfare; Oliver Varhelyi, has promised updated updated legislation for animals on EU farms by 2026. This includes the promise to deliver a ban on all cage systems used in farming.
The laws must reflect citizens mandates, evidence from us in welfare, along with the scientific community.
There must be a firm and legal commitment to end animal suffering across farming, transport, trade, science and everything ‘environmental’.
The campaign highlights that dignity, kindness, compassion and safety should be the basic rights for all sentient beings in Europe.
Later in the year, citizens will have the opportunity to participate in, and to give their support for the campaign.

Extreme violence and neglect uncovered on a UK dairy farm
Covert filming by an Animal Equality investigator has revealed disturbing undercover footage of deliberate violence and neglect on Madox Farm, a large dairy farm in Carmarthenshire, South Wales. The troubling scenes include workers kicking and punching cows in the face and stomach, and hitting them with metal shovels. The footage was broadcast to millions of people on BBC One’s Panorama. Milk from the farm is supplied to Freshways, the UK’s largest independent dairy processor and wholesaler. Freshways distributes dairy products to established retailers and businesses including Costa Coffee, British Airways, Londis, Budgens and P&O Cruises.

Madox Farm: What We Found
Animal Equality’s investigator worked undercover on Madox Farm for several months and documented troubling scenes of abuse and neglect, including a number of serious legal violations.
The footage reveals workers punching and kicking cows in the face and stomach, as well as hitting them with sharp, metal shovels. It also shows cows unable to stand being hoisted by their hips with a lift and dragged against the cold concrete floor.
But that’s not all that our cameras documented. Listed below are the main problems we found on the farm, which unfortunately are widespread in the dairy industry. …….

Every year again we witness the impossible, in Christian countries, the result of a Faith gone utterly wrong. The lamb, the very symbol of Innocence and of Jesus Christ, being subjected to a level of cruelty, and in huge numbers, that defies understanding.
After all …
So much for wishful thinking, and quite possibly the Lord’s own thoughts on the issue, and man’s relationship with these defenceless creatures, and indeed all of the Animal Kingdom.
And THIS is the reality … year after year after year.

The Long Road to the Slaughterhouse
January 28, 2022 Updated: February 1, 2022
Instead of sitting down to a family dinner over the holidays, Animal Equality investigators were on the road, documenting the suffering of lambs transported from Eastern Europe to Italy for slaughter.
Every Christmas and Easter, Animal Equality documents the long and difficult journeys that lambs undergo from Eastern Europe to Italian slaughterhouses. These lambs, many only weeks old, end up on the tables of millions of Italians during the holidays.
Transport: The Investigators’ Daily Journal
Although the transport trucks tend to follow predictable routes, it’s not always easy to map their movements. We located and followed some trucks, being careful not to lose them while we gathered as much information as possible.
