This attack reflects all the distinctive character of long-distance transports: from Estonia to Italy, the journey should go, many of the 265 calves were only two weeks old, less than the hour was held one of the animals had already died .
Inspector Wolfgang Teutschl has specialized in control over animal transport for many years – which does not mean that the attacks no longer influence him. “But this work is necessary so that animals are helped.”
On Thursday there was an intervention on the A2 in the styric Ilztal, Hartberg-Fürstenfeld District: with incredible 265 calves on three floors of the saddle train. “We first looked through the bars and saw all that some animals are on the floor,” the specialist said.
The attracted official veterinarian also noted the urgency and had it loaded into the Voitsberg district in a suitable stable. “An animal was already dead, a second in mortal danger,” Teutschl said. And all the calves were weakened, “many also suckle with the bars, which makes it clear which thirst they were”.
The truck started in Estonia, the goal was North -Italy. All you have to do is wear – and that is difficult for animal lovers – nine hours of traveling, a break of an hour, nine hours of travel time. Then a 24 -hour break must be taken before it can continue again. Nine hours of traveling, an hour’s break, nine hours away. “Theoretically in endless loop,” Teutschl said.
The assessment showed: in this case it was not even the one who had been observed a break of a loafing hour: “It was a maximum of 20 minutes”. Who could have been barely enough to soak all the animals. The tear was also rusty and broken, when switching on the water shot through the truck. In some cases, only two weeks old animals, far from weaned by breast milk, the umbilical cord was not even healed for many …
And these calves are also explained as breeding animals, so it is more “more valuable” than slaughter animals. You cannot imagine how this is being transported.
On Friday it is decided how to proceed with the animals. The driver is displayed.
