Join the 8 hours campaign

I have joined forces with Danish MEP Dan Jørgensen to launch the 8 hours campaign to put a maximum limit on the transport of animals for slaughter.

Animals for slaughter are currently protected by some EU legislation which does require that they are given suitable amounts of water and breaks but it is not enough. Of particular concern is the trend of transporting animals for slaughter for days at a time. This is completely unnecessary and a maximum limit of eight hours is a reasonable objective that stands a realistic chance of being made into law.

But if this is going to happen we need your help! Please sign up to the eight hours campaign on the website (www.8hours.eu) and show your support by joining the Facebook group.
