Altogether, there are approximately 250 horses on the slaughterhouse premises. The temperature reaches 28°C today. We note that two small shelters have been built,…

Uruguay | Canelones | Slaughterhouse Clay | Horsemeat import

[Translate to English:] Sammelstelle Clay: kein Schatten für die Pferde vorhanden.

When we arrive at the collecting station of the slaughterhouse Clay, we immediately realize that the horses still have no weather protection whatsoever. The broken shelters still have not been fixed although December is one of the hottest months of the year. The horses are kept in paddocks that offer no shade at all, not even from trees. Several of…

Uruguay | Lavalleja - Minas | Rodeo | Horsemeat import

[Translate to English:] Die Pferde werden mit Sporen getreten und Peitsche geschlagen, damit sie buckeln.

One horse falls down once and another twice while tied to the post and trying to free themselves. When the rodeo starts and the blindfold is taken off, the rider kicks the horse…
