"This report by Marit Paulsen concerns the EU Strategy for the Protection and Welfare of Animals 2012-2015. Although we are most concerned about people, we cannot forget how animals – domestic, wild or stray – are treated. We have all been taken aback by shocking images of the treatment of animals that we have been shown in person, via the media or online. Even animals destined for the slaughterhouse should be treated with the minimum suffering possible: it has long been said that cattle should not have to see the killing blow coming. We therefore need to update the legislation, which has been in force for 40 years: it needs to be simplified, on the one hand, and provided with new rules meeting the requirements of modern society and in line with the positions advocated by the World Organisation for Animal Health. I voted for this report because I think there is still much to do regarding animal protection and welfare, such as limiting the length of transportation for slaughter, stunning before death, transportation conditions, protecting certain species, and banning products originating from cloning and their derivatives."@en1
