The issue of the live export of animals from the European Union is very serious. Animals are being sent from countries that have animal protection laws to countries that do not have animal protection laws. There is no way things are going to end well for the animals.
They are shipped in appalling conditions because the country that unloads them doesn't care. After that it gets worse and ends with totally inhumane slaughter.

If a country is willing to send animals to suffer like that after they leave the country, then that country's animal protection laws are meaningless. To say you care about animal welfare and then pretend you don't know what happens to the animals you send is hypocrisy.
The EU is not the only ones to send animals to suffer like that. I am glad that groups like Animals international are able to expose this situation. Now we will find out how civilized and committed to animal welfare these countries are. Or are they committed to the economic benefits of hypocrisy?
