Please stop the live export of animals for slaughter within the EU

It´s still a common practice that living animals are exported for slaughter within the EU those animals often don´t even get enough water on the way to the foreign slaughterhouse, and some of them already arrive dead there, that´s cruel and inhumane, why not slaughter the animals first and then transport the meat in cooling trucks? If too many people still think they have to eat meat, after all we know about the conditions on the animal farms....
