Stop Romania from exporting calves to the Middle East – where they are chopped up while still alive!

An undercover investigation conducted by Animals International has uncovered the terrible fate of the cattle that are exported from Romania to the Middle East.

Statistics indicate that Romania is Europe’s largest live exporter and the top exporter of baby animals in the world. What the animals of Romania are forced to endure once they are shipped out of the country is really hard to put into words. Countries in the Middle East – with no animal welfare regulations whatsoever – are the main customers for Romania’s animals.

They are shipped there by sea. Once they arrive, the nightmare starts – the animals are routinely hit with metal rods, tormented, have their tails twisted or even broken and, probably the worst of it all, are slashed with knives while still alive and left to bleed until they give their last breath. Some of this happens right in broad daylight, during the Festival of Sacrifice, which takes place each year in Jordan. Animals are routinely stuffed into car boots or are put down without remorse in people’s backyards.

Live exports serve only one purpose: to make rich companies even richer. All the profits go to such corporations, while endangering local jobs. In Romania, farmers are struggling to make ends meet, while other countries are scoring huge profits as a result of this cruel trade.

The shipping of these innocent animals to be terminated in the most inhumane ways needs to be stopped as soon as possible. These helpless babies deserve a chance to a normal, decent life. Help end Romania’s live exports, alongside the cruelty that goes with it.
