Poland | Bodzentyn | Cattle market

[Translate to English:] Abgemagerte Kuh mit Transportverletzungen an den Hüftknochen.

[Translate to English:] Überwachsene Klauen sind die meist gesehenen Probleme auf dem Markt.

[Translate to English:] Das gehen mit solchen Klauen kann sehr schmerzhaft sein für das Tier.

[Translate to English:] Unser Team spricht mit dem Händler, welcher zu viele Tiere in seinen Laster lädt.

Today our team is inspecting the Bodzentyn cattle market. We count about 500 animals. The majority are bulls and calves. The atmosphere is calm. We observed two emaciated animals and few with overgrown hooves. We notice that one of the traders is forcefully pushing a cow into the lorry. The lorry is already full and there is no space to load more animals. We point it out to the trader. He does not want to listen us and keeps struggling with the animals. After our last warning he stops and loads the cow on the second truck. The market ends about 9 o’clock. All infringements will be reported to the Veterinary Inspection in Kielce
