Today, too many animals are transported under unacceptable conditions on European highways. The most important issue is the duration of the transports. Current EU legislation allows for animals to be transported for several days. This has to be changed. Live animals for slaughter should never be transported for more than eight hours.

Please sign the petition! http://www.8hours.eu/

I certainly agree that such treatment should cease, everywhere.
I went to sign the petition, but apparently you have to reside within the EU in order to add your name.
Nonetheless, it is something which should cease.
