Every year billions of animals are exported alive from Europe, on a
harrowing journey -- and millions die on the way.

The EU has the power to end this cruelty.

John,

A sea of drowned sheep is disturbing. But what’s even more disturbing is
that the capsizing of a boat transporting 14,000 sheep wasn’t enough to
raise the alarm on the urgent need to ban live animal exports in Europe.

The capsizing was actually business as usual. Millions of animals die in
transport every year. And, when they live, they are beaten with batons,
shocked with electric prods, cramped in hot-as-hell boats and trucks,
dehydrated, and stressed.

But there’s hope. Earlier this year, Germany banned live export and other
European countries like Belgium, Denmark, the Netherlands, and Sweden,
have shown support for tighter regulations in the EU. But we need a
massive popular outcry to push big players like France to support the
regulation in Brussels.

Every year, Europe exports more than 1.6 billion live animals. Piglets,
chickens, veals and other sheeps are tortured on never ending trips to
their fattening or slaughtering destinations. This only happens because
consumers and citizens alike have no clue about this scandal.

But the word is out and countries in Europe can’t bear to look the other
way no more. Unfortunately, without your help and the support from
hundreds of thousands of Ekō members across the globe, the protests of EU
member states like Germany and Sweden will be ignored.

Billions of animals can’t afford to wait any longer. They need your
signature now:

Whether we campaigned on pesticides, human rights, or deforestation, Ekō
and its members have a proven record of successfully pushing the EU to do
the right thing. And once the EU does something, the world follows. So
take action today to put an end to this cruelty.
