Brussels, March 29, 2021 - Every day, millions of animals in the EU suffer in animal transports - sometimes up to 24 hours a day without a break. Especially in the case of live animal transports by sea, animals are caught in a legal gray area without clear responsibilities on the part of national authorities or the EU. In most cases, animal welfare falls completely by the wayside. 

Manuela Ripa, MEP of the Ecological Democratic Party (ÖDP), together with Christian Rechholz, Federal Chairman of the ÖDP, talked to animal welfare activist Peter Hübner from "Butchers against animal murder" about this and other animal welfare issues.
