In 2019, over 200,000 cows were forced to make the long, harrowing journey from Ireland to continental Europe, sometimes in temperatures of up to 41.5 degrees. Close to 8,000 more were sent on even longer, tortuous journeys to destinations with vastly different or non-existent animal welfare laws, including Kazakhstan, Libya, and Turkey. This figure increased by over 50% in 2020.

The animals will be forced to produce litter after litter of piglets every year until their bodies are spent, at which point they’ll be sent to slaughter.
