I seem to remember that we had a thread about this issue some while ago (maybe a year or two ago?). I think it is a case of double standards by the EU: "butchering" of animals (in the worse sense of the word - meaning cutting up fully conscious animals in the most appalling conditions of cruelty, with no animal welfare protections AT ALL) is banned by the EU in its own borders, but there are no restrictions put on what happens to similar EU animals exported abroad.
