LIVE EXPORTS , Each weekday night ,while you sleep, thousands of sheep,lambs and calves are leaving through the port of Dover.Crammed in to huge 3 and 4 tyre transporters, many have already endured long journeys from all over the uk and even the republic of ireland, and this is just the beginning of the nightmare! They now face a channel crossing, in whatever weather and, a lengthy trek across europe to slaughter(often brutal)in continental abattoirs.Many travel as far as italy ,spain and greece with journeys in excess of 50 hours and even up to 80 hours have been logged! There is little, if any acess to rest,food,water or care. When these consignments hit southern europe,their tightly packed confinement coupled with often high tempretaures, leads to much distress with dehydrated,injured and dying animals being found on many of the vehicles.With most europeancountries en route failing to enforce EU law regarding the welfare of animals in transit and at slaughter , their well being becomes a literal "lottery".
Within the 2 years to august 2000, Farmers ferry(Now Farmers first) and its dedicated livestock vessel 'cap afrique' had carried out 1.9 million animals across the channel on these appallingly long journeys. They plan to increase, alarmingly the volume of sheep exported from the uk!Acknowledging the seeming unenforceable welfare legislation that is supposed to safeguard these animals in transit, KENT ACTION! AGAINST LIVE EXPORTS (KALE) is dedicated through peaceful but inisitent uk campaigning , to end this unnecessary and horrific cruelty. KALE is well known for its extensive uk monitoring of this trade, primarily at the port of dover, and information is deemed invaluable by offical bodies and animal welfare groups europe wide.At The Begining Of May The Live Export Of Calves Started Up Again.The unwanted veal calves of the dairy industry endure long lourneys of 36 hours-bewildered,overcrowded and exposed to the elements.Their destination-veal farms in france,belgium and the netherlands.These uncomprehending and fragile babies spend their desprately-short lives imprisoned in solitary confinement, in crates so small they are unable to turn around- a practice so cruel it was outlawed in britain in 1990.To keep their flesh white for "gormet dinners,calves are purposley fed gruel which leaves them anemic.Slaughtered at just four or five months old , many will be weak and unable to walk.It is a dreadful total- as many as 500,000 calves every year.Their birth has no meaning other than to keep their mothers milk flowing.Simply by switching to soya milk you can end this shameful suffering.
