Pig transport under control: Police discovered severe defects!
In Tyrol, the police in Tyrol discovered a tractor vehicle today, on February 12, 2025, during a check at the Kundl control center, which was overloaded with about 700 pigs. Officers of the control point found that transport against the animal transport law violated - especially with regard to poor water supply and litter. After intervention by the Wörgl fire brigade, the vehicle was given fresh water and, despite the defects found, was allowed to continue its journey towards Italy, as 5min.at . Although the first measures were taken on site, further advertisements are to be expected.expanded controls for more security
As part of extended heavy traffic controls from the police and ASFINAG in Tyrol, the days of use of the mobile test train will be increased from 144 to 150 days this year. This is done against the background that almost 12,000 advertisements were recorded on trucks last year due to technical defects. State Councilor René Zumtobel emphasized the need for this intensive control network, since poor trucks can be a great security risk. The technical review is carried out by specially trained examiners who not only check the papers and steering times, but also safety-relevant aspects such as brakes and exhaust gas values, reported tirol.gv.at .
The combination of animal transport controls and technical review of the truck is intended to ensure that both the animals and all road users are protected as best as possible. This legislative procedure shows that the safety in road traffic has a top priority and that the focus is also on animal -friendly treatment of living animals during transportation.
