Schlachthof scandal: farmers in turmoil over long transport routes!

A year ago, those responsible in the Zweibrücken slaughterhouse stopped the slaughterhouse, now the situation for cattle breeders in the region has taken a critical turn. While this slaughterhouse now only drives out meat, the cattle and pig breeders who rely on local battle options are exposed to lengthy transport routes. A journey to the nearest powerful slaughterhouse in Perl is already a challenge for many farmers.

The breeders' concerns have realized. When approaching to Perl, there are considerable delays, which are still tightened by strict official requirements for the slaughterhouse. In a recently published report, it was pointed out that these editions significantly restrict the operation there. This has led to a tense situation among the farmers who want to be improvements.

dissatisfaction among the farmers

The dissatisfaction among the farmers increases. The impossibility of slaughtering their animals directly on site is heavily burdened by local agriculture. The desire to be able to use the cattle and pigs directly on their own terrain is getting louder.

farmers argue that this would not only improve the quality of the meat, since the animals do not have to be transported long, but also minimized stress and suffering for the animals. Concerned voices show that this step is not simply an economic decision, but also raises ethical considerations.

The discussion about local slaughter opportunities now not only concerns the breeders, but also attracts the interest of the public. Many consumers show understanding for the concerns of farmers and support the pursuit of sustainable and animal welfare meat production, which takes place in the immediate vicinity of animal husbandry.

• A year ago: Setting the slaughterhouse in Zweibrücken
• Next powerful slaughterhouse: Perl
• official requirements: worries about the operating processes

The breeders invest a lot of time and effort in their work and, in return, expect the possibility to use their animals in a humane way. The concerns of farmers must be taken seriously by the company and the responsible authorities. The region faces a challenge in which not only economic, but also social and ethical aspects are in the foreground.

It remains to be seen whether the demands of farmers are heard and whether there will be changes that will improve the situation for everyone involved. The path to more sustainable meat production could lead to direct slaughtering on site, which would be an advantage for both animals and farmers.
