and southern germany. for years it's been a departure point for long distance animal transports today its cabs just separated from their mothers. very profitable here in germany young boys go for export. headed for northern spain and another collection point. this footage was filmed by. the animal welfare foundation she's followed the transports for more than 20 years the slight indicate about us all these are the noises that cats make when they're suffering and they increase as the journey goes
4:17 am
on. wasn't it more and more cats join in this bellowing you see them licking everything sucking at each other and are really in a kind of starvation stress the animals are under common and stress healers and the washed out. after an almost 20 hour journey the animals are unloaded spain many of the young calves are completely exhausted saw having survived the ordeal. was. was. a misspell we track animal transports not only despite. we also find out what happens to german large stocks sent to other places such as north africa. and russia where we document the longest transport of german animals over thousands of kilometers to central asia.
4:18 am
get. its early december $21000.00 when we set out with it was bombed out now for the 1st time. we want to find out what exactly is going on behind the trade in young cattle and what happens to the. animals to finance a new name from today yes we're driving to a collection point near to clear. a recent trip to i was tipped off by an official who said young cats were being transported via various collection playoffs to staying over for sheena's amish day times but. the collection point is located in a small village on the river most of us watch as what goes on from an opposite hill she's expecting a transport to arrive today from bavaria suddenly and
4:19 am
around 3 o'clock in the morning trucks begin arriving while others depart. we follow to animal transporters. they take a strange route they should be heading straight across the border into france but instead they take a huge detour of year to year. the german cabs are unloaded at the collection point and so close by their maneuvers. according to animal transport regulators the cattle should be watered and fed and allowed to rest for 48 hours now. next morning meets a friend identical or not works for the french animal welfare group well farming what are they expecting. that hans part of the transport will probably go on to spain and that's what we assume there are german caps there too but we just don't know yet when they'll start to load the i reckon they'll do it when it gets light
4:20 am
what to expect today well from oakland where we expect leading in the morning and go to therapy and maybe we can put his controller. right in there to use and. it's the afternoon less than 24 hours after arriving the transport is on the move again. we're on the highway heading to the south of france. the cabs have already been in transport for much longer than is legally permitted. at the service area in your name the drivers take a break it's a chance for the animal rights activists to get a closer look and maybe have a word with the drivers. that your tag suggests there are german animals on board mostly from bavaria in baton rouge yet. you just
4:21 am
ask the drivers where they've come from and where they're going. they say they came from near lewis and are heading to spain. no mention of the fact that they started off in bavaria. back in the car i didn't call on our contacts the french police she asked them to stop the trucks and check the point. since it's just a few women over here that you can shift it but before she was even finished or call the transporters off again. the animal welfare activists follow them and even see them and sometimes if anything did you know of actually just tell me they don't have enough stuff for a check and unfortunately they couldn't do anything tonight he. the 2 women watches the trucks pass the border into spain without a hitch. we want to know how this transport was possible in the 1st place even though you lost prohibit such long journeys.
4:22 am
we had to the 2 years i explored veterinary office and speak to the man in charge and you can all just subtlety is a little older than he's brought some colleagues for support. of course did not you check these transports a further loading and unloading are monitored and the papers are checked to make sure they're ok and those in the you know it's a check on paper no i mean there's a check on the ground to let us call what kind of check exactly. you know because you'll check to see whether the animals appear to be healthy or not donations on dish. but the office also ought to check whether the transport is credible. this came from a very of your tree or to eyes us. and that's almost double the distance it needed . shouldn't that alone arouse some suspicion.
4:23 am
is that if i did no one ask why the animals were taken to ensure holden and then to stock when a direct route would have been quicker. according to checks the transport times well by the book but it's an economical decision whether to take the direct route and that it won't take a diversion ordovician over why would a diversion be economical. because i can't be the judge of that each company must decide for itself which route makes most sense. no one here appears ready to go beyond the call of duty but we're not giving up quite yet. some of your tags when the trucks were parked in southern france. that's enough for us to trace which farm the cabs originally came from. the tags lead us to a small parish in the very region of all going. on the farmer to let him know we're coming. to go
4:24 am
with your focus on your meats in the early evening. is this your farm. and you keep beef cattle. how many cattle do you have. so it. 'd has its ups and sort of at least most of them so less of the kind you have calves to. their female both bred from high yielding cattle if all goes well he says they'll be producing 10000 liters of milk a year. because in this could be a theater for a come to your because we film cattle on a transport to spain that was last december 5 o'clock and what did you get for those animals which is it's you couldn't become a wash. that actually if you feel in the boat is in the book with this if you feel that what this wonderful sequoia with this is just a few. obvious fear shots. oh yes but i
4:25 am
was the price place coming off so be fair to say that the whole cat is male it's more a waste product of this brief and doctors are to clean your room the most as even if it's a choice fast as a 5 will be deserted wall but sick missed it. from base here come a saga it's a cell phone but i said come assad goes this way it's a little difficult this is going to be at 5 with the farmer shows us his cow shit he has a mixed herd but they're largely high yielding cattle the only key to the dairy cattle so he has no use for male offspring. as an addition there's little demand in germany for veal these days. e.q. the photos. of the late the. well done with this that most of the good is destructive wasn't enough. for dame gatos tots 80 percent on the gate this
4:26 am
coming. at this issue is a lot of miles i'm never going to the animals we're going astray office all week at least you must have time to get what did you think. that you'll have who are you selling to the elf. and the saga it's a unique. shift to. what it always does and on. the farmer's bull calves ended up being taken to spain but what happened to them after that. we had to cut a loan yet to find out it's the center of spain's cattle fattening trade and here we discover one foreigner after another. in a spanish bet go with us to take a look. there are hundreds of cabs here we can see that come from all over the european union. this is the spanish
4:27 am
style of industrial kathy. on closer inspection of some of the farms we see that some of the animals came from the u.k. . let me tell you. there are also calves from france and slovakia. we're not far from the seaport town or going up and find that's where most of the cats are exported from. on the way to the port we see animal transporters on the return journey. the transports unload on the pier. electric prods are used to driving. hold on to the ship. this load is mostly made up of animals from france or destined for lebanon. one man stands out among the workers at the port you want to start an animal export
4:28 am
or out of here is from morocco. as we establish later he's bought the animals for an arab company. but if he's prepared to talk to us so we arranged to meet with him a few days later. what's your job most contiguous and exposed us you know i work as an export of the companies here in spain and organize transport to arab countries. cities i drive around and pick out the animals i am i make a selection by them try to negotiate the best price to export them to arab countries they always end up at an avatar. is it which countries do the transports go to. most. clearly bill you
4:29 am
know i work a lot with lebanon but i also export to jordan. saudi saudi arabia libya. morocco tunisia. almost all of the arab countries to be on our computers on the more many animals how many cows and they're loaded up from germany. with. sauza us thousands of them. i don't keep a precise count. for the statistics live cattle from germany are shipped abroad for slaughter to many arab countries are insufficient cooling conditions for frozen meat. so we need your husband back at tara going to port where she wants to show us a ship that docked the previous there and tomorrow it's going to load up an animal transport. it's the karimov.
4:30 am
should offer to fix. the car in marlow was built in 1965 originally as a car ferry it's 55 years old at some point it was repurposed to carry livestock transports but unfortunately not very well. in 2016 we got onto the ship it shouldn't be allowed to carry animals so. it's full of things that animals can injure themselves on the ramps are still not for animal it's when they run out of the ship they have to make a 90 degree bend and go straight down steep reps then their head with electric process that looked what i feel i think should happen. there's one deck on the ship that's only one metre 60 high not even a person can stand in it but can also regularly load it in there it's terrible the animals can't reach their food or water and if there is a problem no one would crawl through there to get an animal out of those away.
4:31 am
for years because the malar has traversed the mediterranean with its cargo of livestock for the middle east. a few years ago animal welfare managed to smuggle about onboard you recorded these images during the crossing. to shore the cattle packed together with insufficient water troughs an animal struggling to reach them . the ship looks neglected to credit but potentially hazardous ragged and rusty metal edges. just 3 days at sea and the 1st animal start. the cows lion with their own excrement. investigations by the european commission confirmed these abysmal conditions several inquiries last year found serious shortcomings on this and other vessels. found that the watering system was broken the food trucks were empty the cattle
4:32 am
were weak and underweight the cattle were soiled with urine and feces ventilation system in certain areas did not work as a true at. home and before we asked the booter a professor of criminal law at mannheim university for a legal standpoint on all this. he's an expert on animal protection laws this could be fitted one thought the european how much risk what regulations have extra holes for the transport of animals by sea venda vessels don't conform to them . in this ship is not legally permitted to transport animals. and if there are sharp edges and corners that could injure the gallows. that's also a violation of the rules require their animals are transported in a way that they are not home to. ok others i stood on the roof so transports and ships like that shouldn't be taking place and that's right yes. and
4:33 am
yet they are taking place despite the scenes like those on the county monarch being documented time and time again and the carcasses of dead cattle are simply dumped at sea just as possibly. all that's required back to units are the animal exporter we interviewed entering on a. normal piece lead there thrown in the water. into the sea portal. isn't that simple i. suppose it is that possible because. it's the law of nature. it's also illegal given the mediterraneans natural preservation status. as a result it's not uncommon for beach goers in israel to find carcasses washed up on the sand. the animals are shipped across the mediterranean to the middle east mostly to the ports of beirut haifa and gaza. german cattle usually end up in arab
4:34 am
countries and what happens then. for showing footage of how transporters and meat workers treat the animals in these countries we see upsetting images of animal cruelty the likes of which we've never seen before. some of the pictures are too disturbing to show in their entirety i. but here they're even children watching the moon is a bit like an affair i. first the cattle were tied off and then restrained by force i. i i were kicked slapped pushed over. the. 6
4:35 am
globe. and then brutally winched onto a truck there's no respect no sympathy for the maltreated that. i just objected to pure violence. a much more workers stand in a pool of blood while they slash the cows throats. for neither stun nor anesthetized beforehand. i receive pictures from gaza beirut and the west bank. it all over at. that and you could we meet the filmmakers who took this put it together and golly i
4:36 am
apologise from animals international what's their main takeaway from what they've seen. often to miss often the knives silent sharp or long enough that we've seen them stopping at the carotid artery. in egypt lebanon and other countries it's the norm for the tendons in the legs to be slashed and for the eyeballs to be cut out on the bay and then. our organization has been in these countries for more than 10 years documenting the suffering and misery of these animals being exported from germany and other e.u. countries and all this time nothing has changed. and i have never seen any work in these thirsty nation neutering nordoff nor even near east or in the middle east anything that would be illegal in european union the reason. is that there are no laws in those countries to protect d.n.a.
4:37 am
markers and the animals are being seen as objects and not as a living beings it's moments when they anymore is losing its dignity because the anyone can smell death and anyone can see death it's all wrong and she knows what's coming there is a single reason why nor matter how many anymore i was die as they all died this is to love a good business it simply because of the price in the best in nation contrie is sometimes even then biomes more than european union business built on the suffering of animals deemed a waste product by germany's dairy industry. we asked professor about the role of the german veterinarian authorities after all they're aware the animals are being transported destined for the middle east. if the veterinarian knows the transport will very probably result in the conditions we've just described he should like the issue addressed would permit. incest responsibility to stop in accordance with the
4:38 am
animal protection regulations if you lost interest were to go. then he is going to this and the if it's a slaughter and thus himself has acted and the better cruelty. does not apply to slaughter that doesn't happen for another 9 months but because it can happen 20 years later it doesn't matter. and 2019 more than 60000 cattle were exported from germany some federal states such as bavaria and has have designated these countries high risk for animal welfare and want to ban cattle export to them. but what about this year the transport of livestock has continued to lebanon war torn libya and morocco with a little song that the german veterinarian thorniest interested in animal welfare. the export of dairy cows to morocco is usually said to be for breeding purposes
4:39 am
sent over in trucks the cattle are allegedly aimed at boosting the north african countries own beef cattle population. high yielding german dairy cows enter the country field the port of tangier and are brought to the casa blanca region the animals angels group filmed these images and $29000.00 at 1st glance they give the impression that the animals are well fed and well treated. but we're skeptical and want to find out whether german animals are really being brought here to build up morocco's beef cattle industry. in december 21000 we fly to casa blanca to find out more. eleanor hall from the animal protection group animals angels goes with us she's familiar with the situation there. one of the organization's moroccan members pick us up. a little early.
4:40 am
and. over the next few days we'll be looking at cattle markets east of casa blanca. village on the dock is our starting point. holly has already laid the groundwork we want to see for ourselves whether german animals end up in such cattle markets saying. it's not it's a sunday morning. on a large area of ground outside the city. preparations are underway for the market. due to open the next morning. all this my guess is that every monday everyone yet in this area that there is said you spot it there and it's the most important thing . by 6 o'clock the next morning the market is already buzzing to life.
4:41 am
that traders arrive and all but water is being set up. the animals that are brought here are often slaughtered right away. to be straighter tells us that he has a cat from belgium budget. well funded from another comes from luxembourg we hear. their increasing signs that animals being sold here originate me you know all. the trouble most of the trade is in young caps and sheep. killing. on the next day we travel to a place near mara cash it's the site of one of the region's biggest cattle markets . traders bring their animals on open trucks 1st we only see
4:42 am
cattle from the surrounding area. but then we discover european couse. this animal is from france. it has several your tax someone has tried to cover up its country of origin. and in the middle of it all seems like this cow is being milked in filthy conditions. right next to the grounds of the other 2 are animals that have changed hands are brought here for slaughter. for filming with concealed camera. the florist covered with blood hanging from the ceiling one slaughtered carcass after the next. year by more animals are being slaughtered while they're still fully conscious it's an open area anyone can come in. a short while later we
4:43 am
make a discovery the tag shows this is a high producing house from germany. and. next we find another one among this group of cattle this time it's a horse time friesian. it's just been sold so we hang around a bit to watch what happens. look. like. it's forced up a steep ramp onto a totally unsuited truck. we see many incidents like this one where here. it's driven away with other animals. we asked the driver whether we can follow. the. he says we can't. so for an hour we drive north behind the animal transport parallel to the atlas mountains until we arrive in
4:44 am
a small town. a makeshift ramp is used again to unload 2 cattle including the german dairy cow. they're led away but we're not allowed to see where. it's worth for. the traders are getting annoying. the truck driver is more open they're being taken away for slaughter he tells us i slaughter here means restraining the animal going to get onto the floor several men seize the animal and turn its neck until someone finds the right place to stick a knife in. it's a horrific procedure i. let. your tag informs us that the dairy cow was sent for export to morocco by a company called must it. must often does one of the biggest names on the german
4:45 am
cattle market. as a frequent sponsor of cattle shows the name is synonymous with the most beautiful and best yielding breeds. on its home page the company mentions that around a quarter of its beef cattle are exploited to african arab states. we raised our concerns with must aren't about finding one of their cows in a moroccan cattle market and it's inhumane slaughter. we received this written response. the marketing of animals for slaughter is fundamentally forbid. of course we are aware that breeding cattle are expected to live forever are then taken to slaughter however they are the basis for the creation of domestic beef cattle populations and the basis for the continued profitable breeding of that population in these regions.
