Eurogroup for Animals poziva građane EU da pomognu zaustaviti mučenje svinja

Eurogroup for Animals pozivaju svih da podrže njihovu kampanju “End Pig Pain”, koja je usmjerena na prekid mučenja svinja unutar Europske Unije. Cilj je prikupiti milijun potpisa europskih građana i predati ih vlastima iduće godine.

Milijune europskih praščića se bolno kastriraju. Repove im režu ili pale, te im vade ili rašpaju zube. Kampanja End Pig Pain poziva državne minister poljoprivrede da zaustave ove rutinske radnje koje uzrokuju bol svinjama namijenjene za klanje u EU, da osiguraju provođenje EU Pigs direktive i da na kraju podrže EU zabranu kirurške kastracije do 2024. Ova se kampanja temelji na statistici iz 2016. Eurobarometra, po kojemu 94 posto građana EU vjeruje da je bitno zaštititi dobrobit domaćih životinja.

Prema Dr. Eleni Nalon, veterinarki i voditeljica Farm Animals Programme za Eurogroup for Animals:

“Milijuni europskih praščića i dalje rutinski pate od potpuno nepotrebne kirurške procedure bez anestezije. Ovo se protivi veterinarskoj praksi, a što se tiče rezanje repova i vađenja zubi, to je zabranjeno zakonom u EU. Da ni ne spominjem oskudnih uvjeta, dosadu i sveopću patnju koju ove svinje trpe na industrijskim farmama tokom njihovih života. Vrijeme je da priznamo da europski zakon o zaštiti životinja ne uspijeva u onome za što je napisan. Potrebno je da promijenimo system. Kao prvo, moramo provoditi postojeće zakone, a kao drugo moramo promisliti kako se odnosimo prema svjesnim bićima u prehrambenoj industriji. Sad je vrijeme da EU pokaže svoje vodstvo.”

Eurogroup for Animals urges everyone to support their campaign “End Pig Pain”, which aims to put an end on torture of pigs in the European Union. The goal is to collect 1 million signatures from European citizens to hand over to decision makers next year.

Millions of European piglets are painfully castrated, have their tails cut or burned off, and their teeth clipped or ground away. The End Pig Pain campaign calls on national agricultural ministers to stop the routine pain caused to pigs reared for meat in the EU, ensure the enforcement of the EU Pigs Directive, and ultimately support an EU ban on surgical castration by 2024. The campaign builds on the 2016 Eurobarometer survey, where 94 percent of European citizens believe that better protecting the welfare of farm animals is important.

Party for the Animals EU Member of Parliament Anja Hazekamp supports the End Pig Pain campaign

According to Dr. Elena Nalon, veterinarian and Farm Animals Programme Leader at Eurogroup for Animals:

“ Millions of European piglets still routinely suffer from unnecessary surgical procedures without pain relief. This goes against veterinary good practice, and in the case of tail docking and tooth clipping, it also goes against EU laws. Not to mention the barren conditions, the boredom, the misery that pigs endure in industrial farms during their lives. It’s time to admit that European animal welfare legislation is to all effects failing to protect farm animals. We need to change this system. Firstly, by enforcing existing laws, and secondly by reconsidering how we treat sentient beings in the farming industry. Now is the time for the EU to really show leadership.”
