At seven in the morning, Animals 'Angels is back on the A4 searching for lambs transports. These are the last days when thousands of them come from the East countries being destined for slaughterhouses in central and southern Italy. Soon it will be Easter and still there’s the tradition that these animals end up on the tables to celebrate the holidays. In fact, the team does not have to wait long to find a Hungarian truck. During a quick stop on the highway, the team realizes that animals are crammed on four floors which are adjusted too low, and are not allowed to move freely. Shortly after, a Spanish truck appears, carrying lambs too. The police, alerted, stops both transports to inspect them. Meanwhile, Ábel the lamb does not make it and collapses on the straw and dies. At the end of the control, the outcome is that the Spanish transport has exceeded the maximum journey time, without resting the animals for 24 hours, thus it is imposed a fine. The truck with the Hungarian lambs is imposed two fines, for having loaded too many animals on board, making them travelling packed and without separating those with horns from those without. The police therefore states that animals are crammed and will be unloaded at a stable where to recover a bit. Béla and Dávid don’t make it too and arrive dead at the stable. The rest of the 663 lambs will be reloaded in two trucks the next day and sent to the inevitable fate of death as Easter lambs.
