Ban livestock transport over long distances in the EU
More than one billion poultry and 37 million live cattle, pigs, sheep, goats and horses are transported across borders within the EU and to third countries every year. This is happening now! It really is a huge hell for the animals. In the UK, NZ and Australia, it is banned!
