It is nighttime when Animals’ Angels and PMAF check a horses’ transport. They are big seized cart-horses travelling from France without individual stalls. The animals are standing up all together without any divider in the truck or in the trailer. They don’t wear halters. When we get close to them they kick and neigh, appearing to get nervous about the presence of humans. They are likely to be unbroken. We alert the Police and an official check takes place together with a veterinarian of the local office. The transport is charged a 2,000 Euro fine and authorized to continue the trip to the closest control post for the animals to be unloaded. They will eat and drink and rest for 12 hours before continuing the trip to the slaughterhouse.
