Every year around 100,000 horses suffer unnecessarily as they
travel thousands of miles across Europe to slaughter. The ILPH is
committed to ending this trade. The shocking reality is that
legislation that the ILPH and its supporters fought so hard for is
being ignored: horses are still suffering in unacceptable
conditions. Illegal journeys are still taking place. On a daily
basis, horses are packed into overstocked lorries in temperatures
exceeding 40 degrees centigrade and plummeting to minus 30. These
vulnerable horses may never have been transported before and the
inhospitable environment of a slaughter lorry causes many
problems.
