Millions of animals including calves, sheep, horses and dogs are transported long distances every year throught Europe. Animals are often so tightly packed they can not even turn around

Life is a gift. Respect it for others as you do to your own. Go vegetarian or vegan! It is a choice we all can make. We all want peace but never when we consciously take another's life as we treasure our own. I signed, Thanks Genoveva.

Thanks for sharing - will try to sign both right now! Sadly this is a 'daily occurrence' all over the planet and therefore a global ban is the best solution.

so terribly cruel. these are not inanimate objects. their necessities are the same as ours. they need to be treated with dignity and respect, not crammed together like a box of raisins.

REFORM LIVE FARM ANIMAL EXPORT LAWS

Responsible department: Department for Transport

It is unnecessary to export UK farm animals abroad for slaughter or fattening. UK farm animals should be fattened or slaughtered in the UK. The Harbours, Docks & Piers Clauses Act 1847 makes it illegal to refuse a ship the use of a port if it is carrying out lawful trade. This law stops port owners refusing trade on ethical grounds. This outdated law must be amended to let port owners refuse, on animal welfare grounds, the export of live farm animals. EU Regulation 1/2005 on the protection of animals in transport must be reformed. A limit of 8 hours must be placed on journeys for slaughter & fattening. Regulation1/2005 must also be enforced rigorously in the UK by DEFRA and local authorities. I call on the Government to update the 1847 Act to reflect changing attitudes and scientific knowledge about animal welfare in the past 164 years. I call on the Government to persuade EU partners to strengthen Council Regulation 1/2005with regards to the 8 hour limit on animal transport.

I think I signed and I hope I shared. The question becomes with so many way of transporting frozen meet--Why transport a live animal. I mean the days of the cattle drive ended so many many decades ago. I do not understand the point.

There are prolonged fates worse than death.

Let it cease.

Visualize us getting a victory communication telling us this has, as spoken, ceased!
I shall refrain from saying....I told you so. lol

We shall laugh together.

Agreement forms reality.

Ban live export world-wide. This is the 21st century, no animal need or should suffer long journeys to slaughter. Its tragic enough that they are slaughtered in the first instance without making them endure horrific journeys where they suffer abuse, lack of food, lack of water, lack of veterinary care and no rest. The animals then endure equally horrific slaughter in filthy, stinking slaughterhouses. Shame on mankind for inflicting this terror on all animals. Ban live export world-wide.

Signed. However I'm rather surprised to learn that it's the RSPCA getting behind this campaign. Unfortunately in recent years, they seem to have completely overlooked (or forgotten about) the purpose for which the charity was originally intended - the PREVENTION of cruelty to animals!
