URGENT: CIWF Expose Torture Of Illegally Imported EU Cattle In Gaza

The British-based animal welfare organisation, Compassion In World Farming, has just released shocking images of illegally imported Romanian and Hungarian cattle being tortured to death in Gaza.

It is illegal to sent EU livestock to Palestinian Territories but once again Compassion In World Farming has revealed more damning evidence that the EU live export trade is breaching European animal welfare laws. For decades the EU live export trade has been in shambles.

Last year Compassion In World Farming managed to close down two horrific slaughterhouses in Lebanon where EU livestock were being slaughtered. CIWF has exposed the long and cruel journeys EU livestock endure to reach slaughterhouses in Libya, Turkey, Lebanon, Russia and Israel.

Under EU animal welfare laws it is ILLEGAL to send EU livestock to countries that do not comply with international humane slaughter laws. It is ILLEGAL for EU livestock to endure long journeys without a rest period. It is ILLEGAL for recipient countries to re-export EU livestock to countries/territories which do not have a trade agreement to receive EU livestock.

It is ILLEGAL to send pregnant livestock on these cruel journeys. But again and again we have evidence pregnant livestock is being sent.  It is not uncommon for cattle and sheep to give birth while being transported to destination hell.  I have watched horrific videos of exhausted Romanian ewes giving birth en route. 

The illegally imported cattle in this new CIWF video also gave birth while being transported to Gaza.  A visibly ill and emaciated calf can be seen in the video. 

Compassion In World Farming has evidence that EU livestock are crossing over into the Palestinian Territories via the Kerem Shalom border separating Israel and the Palestinian Territories. The brutal truth is the head of European Commission. Mr Juncker doesn't care what happens to EU livestock or where they end up when they leave the EU.

For decades the EU live export trade has been Europe's shame. Victims of the EU live export trade have been utterly betrayed and abandoned. For decades the evidence exposing the horrors of the EU live export trade has been damning. Please go onto Compassion In World Farming's website and take action now.

Please add your name and email address when you access this webpage. Please only sign my petition AFTER you have added your name and address to Compassion In World Farming's webpage. Watch the video and witness for yourself the horrific treatment of Hungarian and Romanian cattle in Gaza. These cattle should never have been sent there. We must demand justice for these victims and do our bit to end the EU live export trade.

The Head of The European Union knows exactly what conditions await European livestock in foreign countries. They know cattle and sheep will be resold to other countries yet it does nothing.  If it wasn't for CIWF, the true and ugly nature of this vile trade would never have been exposed. 

Please share this very important petition on line.   

The famous Russian writer Leo Tolstoy famously said 'As long as there are slaughterhouses, there will be battlefields'.
