"Mr President, too often we see Members of this Chamber passing international law on things that could be decided nationally and then turning a blind eye to issues where we actually do need international agreement. I am pleased, therefore, that we voted on new rules for horses travelling to slaughterhouses.
In my constituency is the home of World Horse Welfare, which has exposed horrific images of horses travelling from the eastern borders of Europe, across country after country after country, to slaughterhouses in central and southern Europe. These really horrific pictures show how those horses were treated on that journey.
We have to agree journey time limits. We do not want to stop farmers with other species of livestock from being able to get their animals to slaughterhouses in remote areas, but this treatment of horses crossing border after border without rest is cruel and must stop."@en1
