Ethical Farming Ireland succeeded in preventing a 45 year old transport vessel from coming into port at Greenore to collect Irish cattle for export.

The Sarah M was scheduled to dock at Greenore on Ireland’s northeast coast on April 30, to collect 2000 young bulls for export. 

The ship had recently been classed with the Russian Maritime Register of Shipping, and was therefore subject to European Union sanctions which include denial of access to EU ports. 

Ethical Farming Ireland alerted the Department of Transport of this breach, which resulted in the vessel being denied entry. 

The organisation has long campaigned against live export from Ireland to mainland Europe and beyond, as thousands of animals are exported to countries as far afield as Libya, Jordan, Morocco, Lebanon, Israel, Egypt and Turkey each year. 

The organisation has expressed disappointment that their intervention was necessary in order to ensure proper regulation of the vessel.

Such incidents are not uncommon amongst live transport vessels, as revealed in new research by Animal Welfare Foundation. Nearly half of the animal transport vessels approved in the EU are flying the flag of a country marked by the Paris Memorandum of Understanding as a black flag (for example Togo, Sierra Leone or Tanzania). 

This flag indicates these vessels pose a high risk to maritime traffic, as well as to the animals, crew and environment.

A five year phase out plan and $107m support package has been promised by the Australian government, meaning live exports of sheep will end on 1 May 2028.

Agriculture Minister Murray Watt made the announcement on 11 May, noting that legislation will be introduced in this term of the Australian Parliament to end the trade in law.

The decision was taken after years of campaigning from animal welfare organisations, with polls revealing that the majority of Australian citizens want to see an end to the cruel trade. 

The live sheep export industry has shown time and again that they are unable to meet the community’s expectations.

Murray Watt, Australian Agriculture Minister

Live export has also been in a long-term economic decline, and now accounts for only 0.1% of Australia’s agricultural exports. 

This has directly corresponded with an increase in the trade of meat products, with trade in chilled sheep meat now 58 times the value of the live sheep export trade. Sales of chilled Australian sheep meat to the Middle East alone now represent $632 million, compared to only $77 million of profits from the entire live sheep export trade.

Decades of investigations have confirmed the stressful, dirty and overcrowded conditions that sheep are subjected to during long sea journeys from Australia. Heat stress can be fatal for animals aboard transport vessels, as tragically proven during the 2017 Awassi Express disaster where around 2,400 sheep died from heat stress whilst travelling between Australia and the Middle East. 

While of course we wish it was sooner, we also recognise and respect the responsibility of the Government to consider all who are impacted by this historic decision… Considering the decades of dedicated effort and advocacy, it is understandable that some doubted whether this trade would end in their lifetime. Now we know differently.

Australia: A Ban Date For Live Animal Exports Announced. Too Long, But At Least A Date Now Given By Government.

Above – Regan At A Slaughterhouse Protest – Where She Was Killed.

In 2020, protester Regan Russell was killed outside a slaughterhouse in Burlington Ont.

See the many posts we issued about this at the time about Regan’s death:

https://worldanimalsvoice.com/?s=regan+russel

Animal advocates are celebrating after parts of a controversial Ontario agriculture law that made it illegal to get a job on a farm under false pretences to expose conditions inside were deemed unconstitutional.

Justice Markus Koehnen struck down parts of Bill 156, the Security from Trespass and Protecting Food Safety Act, earlier this month after advocacy group Animal Justice, along with an activist and a journalist, launched a Charter challenge in 2021.

They argued the new law infringed on their freedom of expression because they could not tell the outside world what was happening inside a farm if they gained access to the property through a false pretence.

The act required consent from the owner to be on a property where animals are kept, raised or slaughtered. That consent was voided under the law if someone lied to get on the land.

“The act limits the mode of expression by preventing undercover exposes or even eyewitness descriptions of the conditions in which animals are raised or slaughtered if the person providing the description gained access to premises using false pretences,” the judge wrote in his decision.

“In light of the foregoing, I find that one of the purposes and one of the effects of the act and the regulation is to infringe on the applicants’ freedom of expression.”

The province enacted the legislation in response to demands from the agricultural industry and about 120 municipal resolutions calling on the government to do more to control trespassing, the decision said.

Ontario argued the legislation was aimed at “protecting animal safety, biosecurity, and the safety of farmers as well as preventing economic harm that can arise from threats to animal safety and biosecurity.”

Part of the case focused on lying.

“If lies can amount to protected speech in a context as odious as Holocaust denial, they should be equally protected when someone denies having a university degree or being affiliated with an animal rights group to obtain employment at or entry to an animal auction, petting zoo, rodeo, fair or circus,” the judge decided.

The judge agreed with animal rights activists

The news thrilled Camille Labchuk, executive director of Animal Justice.

“It’s a decisive victory over unconstitutional ‘ag-gag’ laws that were designed and had the effect of covering up serious animal cruelty on farms,” she said.

“In light of this ruling, we’re looking forward to getting back to doing investigative work in Ontario as soon as possible.”

The animal advocates had submitted undercover video of farms that were eventually aired on national television broadcasts and led to criminal charges and convictions in some cases. None of that would have happened without lying to get a job in the first place.

“The expression is of public interest,” Koehnen wrote.

“Publicizing the way in which animals are treated is an issue of interest to at least some members of the public. It is an issue about which the public is entitled to be informed if they want to be.”

The advocates who brought the case also argued undercover operatives would follow the rules on farms, only deviating to take pictures of video of what was happening with the animals.

The judge agreed.

“For a potential employee to deny any association with animal-rights groups in a job interview does not threaten biosecurity, the food supply chain or animal safety,” the judge wrote.

“Nor does the follow up act of such an activist communicating what they see in an agricultural facility.”

The bill also made it illegal to interact with animals inside transport trucks, a law seemingly designed to target one group in the province: Toronto Pig Save. The group is part of the large Save Movement whose members “bear witness” and hold vigils for animals en route to slaughter.

They often gave water to the pigs inside trucks stopped at intersections to “show kindness and compassion to animals in their final moments,” the decision noted.

The Ministry of the Attorney General may appeal

Two days after the bill came into force in June 2020, a truck hauling a load of live pigs ran over and killed Regan Russell, 65, who was protesting the new law outside a slaughterhouse in Burlington, Ont. The driver, Andrew Blake, pleaded guilty to the provincial offence of careless driving causing death. He was fined $2,000 and given 12-months of probation.

The Regan Russell Foundation intervened in this case, arguing the law interfered with both its constitutional right to protest and freedom of expression.

The judge disagreed and held up that portion of the act.

“The purpose of protecting freedom of expression is to do just that, allow people to express themselves,” Koehnen wrote. “It does not allow people to appropriate, even momentarily, the property of others as a means for that expression.”

Russell’s stepson, Joshua Powell, was disappointed with that part of the decision.

“It is upsetting, but we are very, very elated that the judge upheld the ability to hold vigils at these sites as a protected act,” Powell said.

“And, most important, we are really happy that undercover exposes, from journalists or activists, won’t be illegal anymore. It was one of the main reasons Regan was out there that day.”

The Ministry of the Attorney General said it is reviewing the decision and has not yet decided if it will appeal.

It’s the day we’ve been waiting for

A long awaited victory; but not quick enough !

We want to send congratulations to Lyn and our friends at AA on getting this amazing result. Being a UK live export campaigner for 35+ years I personally know the immense amount of work that is needed to achieve results such as this.

All the time you are speaking for them, your mind never distracts from the continual suffering to the animals that this trade brings. Without doubt, Australian live exports are probably the biggest nut of all nations to get victory over in this sordid trade.

We all want an immediate ban, but in this instance the head rules over the heart. Despite our feelings; it has to be accepted that ‘meat’ in some form will continue to be exported from Australia. As we say in the UK, better on the hook than on the hoof ! – sadly the process of killing animals will not stop, but the suffering on the ships will. In the next few years there will be a lot of things that need to be addressed by both Australia and the states they currently export to; a change from meat on the hoof to that on the hook. New slaughterhouses may need to be built in Australia to process the animals; and maybe methods with all involved to store and export meat by refrigeration. It is not what I want to see and probably what you all do not want to see; but it will happen; animals will be killed as always but they will be saved immense suffering on shithole rust buckets as they currently are. A large cruelty chunk of the puzzle will be removed; and that is something I at least welcome.

Going veggie or vegan for sure is the way forward and the way to reduce this suffering. Every rust bucket livestock carrier that ends up going for scrap is a real positive as far as I am concerned; it is every time, another nail in the coffin and another page written to put this disgusting abuse of animals into the history books.

Well done and big congrats to everyone who has showed year of tenacity to get this news today,

Regards Mark

I wanted to write to you this evening to express the most heart-felt ‘thank you’.  Today, because of our combined efforts, we now know the date that the live sheep trade will end.  Australian Agriculture Minister, Murray Watt, announced this morning that the live sheep trade will, after some 60 years of operation, end on May 1st 2028. Importantly, the Minister also announced that this end date will be legislated in this term of government. While of course we wish it was sooner, we also recognise and respect the need to consider all who may be affected by this historic decision. Considering the decades of dedicated effort and advocacy behind today’s announcement, it is understandable that some doubted whether this trade would end in their lifetime. Now we know with certainty that it will. We can now count down towards the day that the last sheep shipment will leave our shores. And that is why, aside from my great relief at this announcement, I am filled with overwhelming gratitude to you Diana. Truly, this day would not have come without you.  You supported our investigations. You refused to get disheartened. You achieved something extraordinary: you convinced an Australian government that animals deserved better and that an industry that had long enjoyed political support, should be concluded. We now know beyond any doubt, that so powerful is human compassion, it can make the seemingly impossible, possible.  The resilience so needed to stay the course was born of compassion. The courage we needed on the most difficult days was fuelled by compassion. The commitment to write letter after letter to politicians was driven by compassion.   To witness together a government decision based on compassion for animals, is, I am sure you will agree, a momentous day.  A day to long savour. Please remember your part in this, as I always will.

My deep appreciation today also extends to our colleague groups for their exceptional efforts that ensured the animal protection sector spoke for Australian sheep with a strong and united voice. They have been magnificent. And it is so very appropriate that I also mention my wonderful colleague, friend and co-investigator Shatha Hamade. My time as an investigator in the Middle East had to come to an end, as my face had become too well known. When Shatha joined Animals Australia, it was as our lawyer, not an investigator. Yet she didn’t hesitate to say ‘yes’ when I told her she was needed. Since then, as you know, Shatha has given her heart and soul to being where Australian sheep have needed her to be. And finally, my gratitude goes to Fazal Ullah, the crewman, who in witnessing the suffering before him, chose to act, rather than accept. We will all be forever grateful for this young man’s courage. It is so very clear that today’s historic announcement has been the result of a team effort like no other.  Thank you so very much for the critical part you have played. For the animals,

Lyn White AM Director of Strategy

Farm Animals Programme Officer, Susanna Blattner, was recently invited by our member Essere Animali to follow trucks transporting lambs across Italy. The purpose of the investigation was to monitor any legal violations to the animals, intervening where possible, and to record firsthand the experiences of these lambs to show where the current Transport Regulation is falling dramatically short of protecting their welfare. This is her account of her experience.

As a veterinarian with experience in slaughterhouses, I thought I was ready for this experience. I arrived on the day of the investigation prepared; I reviewed European regulations until I could cite the most common breach articles from memory. I studied Italian regulations, legislative decrees, previous investigations, watched hours of videos, and talked to several colleagues to prepare myself as best as I could.

Unfortunately, it wasn’t enough. Theory doesn’t prepare you for certain things, and from this experience, I return even angrier and sadder but with a greater awareness of the importance of my role in Brussels.

The days were organised like this: wake up at 4am, head to a service station in Friuli, near the border with Slovenia, and wait in the car until a truck containing lambs arrived (sometimes they stopped at the service station) to follow and monitor it. In case of obvious irregularities, call the police and report any problems.

I expected long hours of waiting, but instead, the trucks kept coming. Sometimes I could even hear the lambs bleating from tens of metres away, and every truck spotted with a Hungarian or Romanian licence plate was a blow to the heart.

Their bleating was persistent. I still have it in my ears.

The times when the trucks stopped at a service station and I had the opportunity to inspect them were devastating. The trucks were overcrowded, the lambs touching the upper shelf with their heads, unable to drink. When I stroked them, they searched for me insistently, as if they understood that I was there for them.

Essere Animali

Their bleating was persistent; I still have it in my ears. One morning, we followed a truck from Friuli to Emilia Romagna – four hours of pursuit during which even on the highway, with the windows closed, I could hear their lament.

One of the things that struck me the most was my complete helplessness. I met police officers with big hearts who, when I explained that I was a veterinarian, listened to me and called Italian colleagues to try to do something for the welfare of those poor animals and penalise the people who had allowed such cruelties. I met veterinarians who worked with heart, and above all professionalism, ready to meticulously inspect every truck and penalise every minor infringement, with tearful eyes. But I also encountered police officers who accused me of wasting their time for “such a thing”, and veterinarians who laughed in my face because I wasn’t in touch with reality and it made no sense to fine a truck for “so little.” The “so little” were more than 800 lambs on a truck without adequate safety measures and devices for drinking.

A stronger Transport Regulation will be the key to changing the sad state of live animal transport.

However, what troubled me the most was the impossibility of protecting the animals being transported due to endless bureaucratic loopholes: the grey areas of the current transport law, that allow transporters to do things without considering animal welfare at all, the inability of law enforcement to impose adequate penalties, and so on. 

But there was something that gave me a glimmer of hope – the people I met during this experience.

The petrol station attendant who, while we waited at the service station for the arrival of the veterinarians, brought us a bowl to give water to the lambs.

The clerk who, when he realised what we were doing, showed us videos of other atrocities done to animals that he had managed to film.

The travellers who, when they arrived at the service stations, came to ask us what was happening to the animals, and upon our explanation, realised the cruelty of this practice.

The television journalist who was with me all day to film the events, and at the end said to me, “But how can I still eat these little animals now?”

It was a strong, bittersweet experience, one that would be very challenging to repeat due to the physical and emotional fatigue it incurred, but one I will never forget either. I am now even more motivated to work hard, and fight to protect the millions of animals transported every year.

It’s critical the European Commission takes its revision to the Transport Regulation seriously, creating species-specific rules across the sector that robustly protect the welfare of all animals involved.

Italy: The Disgusting Suffering On Innocent Sentients To Produce An Easter Roast.

Another Al Mawashi ‘death ship’ expected to ship live animals from East London to Middle East© Provided by Cape Times

Africa –

Info – The Port of East London is located at the mouth of the Buffalo River in the Eastern Cape of South Africa. It serves as the only remaining river port in the country. The port has excellent rail and road connections to regions such as the Free State, Gauteng, and KwaZulu-Natal. Additionally, it acts as a vital gateway connecting Africa to the global market

Animal rights groups will greet the Al Mawashi vessel when it docks at East London harbour today and document “animal exploitation”.

In East London, Ban Animal Trading South Africa will document the export and in Cape Town the Coalition to Stop Live Animal Export South Africa will protest at 123 Hertzog Boulevard on the Foreshore.

The Kuwaiti importer of livestock is expected to load live animals and transport the cargo to the Middle East.

Labelled as the “death ship”, the 44-year- old vessel is expected to be anchored at the harbour at about 8am, according to a ship tracking website.

National Council of SPCA (NSPCA) executive director Marcelle Meredith said their inspector and veterinarian travelled to the feedlot in the Eastern Cape, owned by a farming company, in preparation for the arrival of the vessel.

About 60 000 sheep, 1500 cattle and 200 goats will be loaded onto the vessel and taken to Kuwait and Saudi Arabia.

“They inspected the animals at the feedlot and again serious welfare concerns were identified.

On March 18 a warning was issued for shade and water to be provided for the animals and for injured animals to receive appropriate treatment. Since March 26 seven NSPCA inspectors, the veterinarian and two inspectors from King William’s Town SPCA have been at the feedlot to inspect the animals being held in preparation for loading,” said Meredith.

According to the NSPCA, their understanding was the owner of the farming company was managing the shipment for Al Mawashi to whom he rented the feedlot for the export.

Meredith said on Wednesday the inspectors encountered escalating hostility during a lawful inspection, conducted with a warrant as the company owner allegedly displayed aggressive, discourteous behaviour and demanded the inspectors leave the premises.

“The NSPCA had to request assistance from police. The NSPCA has five prosecution cases against Al Mawashi and (the owner of the farming company). The NSPCA has encountered ongoing animal abuse at this feed lot. During the June 2023 shipment, inspectors thwarted attempts to load sick, pregnant, lame, heavily horned and unshorn sheep. Inspectors further intervened when rams had their horns severed using an angle grinder causing a bloodbath and resulting in 131 rams being confiscated and the arrest of the then feedlot manager.

As a result, the NSPCA met the Eastern Cape Department of Rural Development and Agrarian Reform. The department agreed guidelines for the export of animals by sea would be stringently followed for future shipments,” said Meredith.

Al Mawashi declined to comment.

Lamb transports: we have documented more suffering and violations

Watch the investigation video be clicking here:

Sign for a revision of the legislation on animal transport (essereanimali.org)

As has been customary for some years now, a few days before Easter, our investigative team returned to the motorways on the border between Italy and Slovenia to monitor trucks loaded with lambs arriving from Eastern Europe, heading to slaughterhouses in Tuscany, Lazio and Puglia.

On the monitored vehicles, coming from Hungary, Romania, Slovakia and Poland, several problems and violations of the rules were once again found: overcrowding, presence of unweaned animals on vehicles not suitable to feed them and transported for a longer period than that required by the regulations, ventilation and watering systems not working, inadequate or unreachable drinking bottles for all lambs, insufficient space above the animals’ heads to be able to travel in a natural position.

And all this for long and exhausting journeys, which can last up to 30 hours.

This activity was carried out in collaboration with Animals’ Angels, Enpa and the Animal Welfare Foundation. 

Of the 20 trucks targeted by the associations, 8 were checked by the police and 4 received fines of thousands of euros.

Already on the first day, a truck was fined €6,500 due to malfunctioning ventilation and drinking system and document irregularities. The situation was such that the truck was not fit to continue its journey.

OUR REQUESTS

The revision of Council Regulation (EC) No 1/2005 of 22 December 2004 “on the protection of animals during transport and related operations” is a unique opportunity for the European Commission and the EU co-legislators to ensure greater and better protection of animals and to take action on the most serious issues in order to spare animals avoidable suffering.

That is why we ask:

an immediate ban on the export of live farmed animals to third countries;

limiting travel times for the transport of live animals to a maximum of eight hours and 4 hours for poultry and rabbits (which must be transported in specific containers);

the prohibition of the transport of animals:
• unweaned;
• in an advanced state of pregnancy (who have exceeded 40% of the gestation state);
• at the end of their productive life;

the prohibition of the transport of live animals if the expected outside temperatures are below 5°C or above 25°C, subject to clear definition of the following parameters:
• specific species – and categories – conditions for the suitability of animals for transport;
• minimum and maximum outdoor temperatures;
• availability of space;
• availability and method of administration of food and water;

to limit intra-EU maritime transport as much as possible and to allow it only where it is strictly necessary, with the suitability of the vessels approved by an EU Authority that verifies compliance with strict technical and mandatory requirements;

to develop a clear definition of ‘journey time’, which is to be understood as the time that elapses from the ‘start of the journey’ to the ‘end of the journey’, including the loading and unloading of animals. In the case of sea transport, the “journey time” includes the time that the animals spend along the road journey from the farm to the port and from the port to the “final destination”, as well as the time that the animals spend on the boats and during embarkation and disembarkation operations;

the reduction and replacement of the transport of live animals with that of meat and carcasses, and seeds and embryos, as also recommended by FVE, OIE, and EFSA.

We also call for stricter enforcement of EU legislation, which must also be accompanied by more controls and inspections and strict penalties for infringements.

Inside another truck there was a lamb unable to stand on its legs, which was entrusted to the associations. The lamb is now under the care of a veterinarian. Again, the truck was not fit to continue its journey.

In December 2023, the European Commission published a proposal to revise the legislation on the transport of live animals. The European elections in June are a unique opportunity to continue the work: it is crucial that the new Parliament and the new Commission commit to better regulation and controls.

It is equally important that the Ministry of Health in Italy is ready to give precise indications that make controls more efficient throughout the country and that our government works with other member states to improve legislation at European level.

And this umpteenth investigation, with the sanctions that have arisen and the great media attention it is generating, is one more tool to make the problem visible and bring it once again to the tables of the institutions!

Ps: this transport monitoring activity has once again brought to light a very serious situation for animals. A serious reform of this practice by the EU is urgently needed. Ask yourself:

64 animal transport vessels are allowed to cross European waters, but only 6 of them meet international safety standards.

Former ferry or cargo vessels that had their security clearances revoked are commonly used to transport live animals, meaning the average animal transport vessel in the EU is several decades old, and very unsafe to operate.

Animal Welfare Foundation, together with the French environmental organisation Robin Des Bois, published a comprehensive report on the true state of these sea vessels, concluding that urgent measures must be taken to stop their use.

Sea vessels for animal transport are far from welfare-friendly

Among the 64 animal transport vessels approved for use in the EU currently,  only 4 vessels were originally built for the purpose of transporting animals. All other vessels were retrofitted after around 30 years at sea. 

As this film documents, these vessels are filled with hazards, from sharp edges to rust and defective struts, creating a very high level of risk for both the animals and crew onboard.

With the majority of vessels being in such a dilapidated state, it’s not surprising that there have been a string of disasters during live animal transport by sea over the past years, such as in the case of the Karim Allah and Elbaik. 

Thousands of animals are spending weeks in these unseaworthy ships, where they are forced to stand knee-deep in their own excrement and are exposed to high temperatures, rough seas, crowded quarters, disease and more.

Nearly half of the EU’s live animal sea vessels are flying the black flag

AWF and RDB’s research also reveals that nearly half of the animal transport vessels approved in the EU flew the flag of a country marked by the Paris Memorandum of Understanding as a black flag (for example Togo, Sierra Leone or Tanzania). 

This flag indicates these vessels pose a high risk to maritime traffic, as well as to the animals, crew and environment. 

The fact these vessels continue to be used show there is a clear lack of concern for animal and human welfare within this transport sector. Three years ago, 17 vessels were identified as highly dangerous for use in transporting animals, but 15 of them are still operational today. 

Action must be taken to improve live animal transport at sea

Three years ago, the European Commission received an initial joint report by AWF and RDB on 78 animal transport vessels approved in the EU. This year’s report shows there has been continued inaction in regards to establishing the safety of these vessels and the welfare of animals in this industry, even against the recommendation of the Commission’s very own inquiry committees. 

If these vessels that are falling apart continue to be used, more transport disasters are inevitable. 

If the industry is not stopped entirely, sea vessels must at least fly the white flag and be IACS-standardised and fully functional, accommodating basic safety measures for the animals and personnel on board. Further, black and grey flags must be prohibited. Strict limits to journey times by sea must be included in the revised Transport Regulation, to mitigate the suffering of animals while they are transported across water.

EU legislation must finally confront the brutal reality of live animal transport by sea and take action. No animal belongs on a ship, [and the sector] cannot and must not continue like this.
