The Guardian/GB about EU animal exports to Turkey and the Middle East

Revealed: exported EU animals subject to abuse and illegal conditions

Iris Baumgärtner, project manager at AWF, said: “Despite the fact that the commission and the member states have been well informed since 2010 of the suffering of animals transported to Turkey, the situation remains unchanged and the numbers of animals being exported are increasing. The commission and member states are ignoring the core elements of their own regulations.”
