united states has warned that millions of civilians trapped by violence in sudan could soon run low on food, water, and medicine. thousands of foreign nationals are being evacuated from the country as well as our and all for me, for now intern for our current affairs program. close up coming up next after a short break. if you do want more news analysis, you can find that also on our youtube channel or check us out online. d, w dot com or session your channels are at 12 units from the and the team working behind the scenes. thank you so much watching with whatever you have heard in the red. it's 10 times more holocaust survivors in postwar, germany for them. life after 1945 through today has meant starting a new and processing the past. the ongoing struggle for remembrance and against

denial in the land of the perpetrators starts may 6th on d, w ah, the vast plains of south america, a home to huge herds of semi wild horses. some are subject to a bristle practice, so called blood farms, extract blood from pregnant mares to provide a hormone used in pig farming around the world. old to produce cheap pork. they couldn't be treated food. this hormone p, m, s g is used to control the reproductive process, soya i normally, the pigs would come and heat at different times when speech by synchronizing that you can increase efficiency. but for the horses, it involves terrible suffering. images filmed on south american farms have drawn

criticism from experts dialysis. so they suggest a lack of veterinary care and a fundamental failure to exercise the duty of care for the horses that are living creatures. mitka ship fat cake. ringback as our desire for cheap meat, the driving factor behind the cruel treatment of thousands of horses. ringback ah, the footage is hard to watch. it was filmed by campaign is for the animal welfare foundation in germany, who visited the blood farms in south america. it suggests systematic abuse and neglect, all because the mass blood contains the sought after hormone p. m. s g which plays a major role an industrial pick farming theater. tinian company,

syntex runs blood farms in argentina and uruguay. the mass here are kept in a constant state of pregnancy and forced to give large quantities of blood. and it's all perfectly legal since 2015 rights activists. sabrina. good. now from the animal wealthy foundation has been recording the pulling conditions on south american blood fonts yet tied to cow in them. he suspended a period of time that the p m. s g is present in the horse, his blood is very limited. yup. if it's just 2 or 3 months i ma naughton and basil during the short period as much blood as possible as taken from the mares. much more than international guidelines. recommend even for horses that aren't pregnant, miss christ, he good. and this poses great health risks, both for the mayor's and their unborn false daughter went alford young. good, one in full in the farms are not keen to have the operations of left and have

screened off the area where the blood is extracted. but in 2018, the activists managed to obtain images from a camera hidden inside the stables. they revealed the brutal procedures involved the so i'm make that i took this worker is using an iron hook to go the mayor into the restraint box to book see. and you can see how scared she is, how you see for she's resisting and panicking the via she undergoes this every week ever. and so each time she was even more scared than the last one and fights even harder to resist going into the box up, the knock me out, i'd so gaining the to fix your books. syntex has since invested a lot of money and security measures to prevent any more footage getting out. this mistreatment of horses and argentina and uruguay is serving the demand for cheap pork and faraway europe. to understand this, we need to look at how meet is produced. let's take germany as an example.

ah, for the business to be profitable, everything has to be timed exactly both on conventional pick farms and organic operations spike. this one. this farm in west and germany does not use p. m. s g, which is banned in organic farming. the heard includes $168.00 pigs plus they're young. for the past 40 days the mothers have been suckling their young in this store. now it's time for the pickets to be weaned. so farmer hover not and his son leo, not, we'll separate them from their mothers, them money, america, so that we don't have to crawl through the small hold on all. i stand in here and drive the pigs out. martha. leona guides them outside from missouri, but he locks the pigments in tom. jamante is the mother's to worry when they realize what's happened and only spoke of, but this worry and also the milk pressure on the utter. and he helps to bring them back in heat from that. so this is an important thing for us. this is aka,

being in heat means they're able to conceive their lead straight into the center where they will later be impregnated. but 1st, they have a 5 day break function yet it will mother. it works 95 percent of the time. so what today is saturday? so on wednesday we'll inseminate them again on missiles are given especially nice feed to sweeten the separation from they pigment. this would be the time to administer p. m s g. but as this is an organic farm, that doesn't happen. so now now it's time for our breakfast. am i not as the 5th generation in his family to found the land? he runs the business with his 2 sons. by the time a picket is winged,

it should weigh around 11 killers. they were all okay in terms of their weight on them. like in many german families as ham and saw such meet on the table. here it's made from their own picks, of course phones. i'm good. that's right. it's our aspect. and our liber patty, we've already eaten the pork sausage, but we've just had another slaughter and are waiting for the results with us. it's really nice that we can eat our own meat here. i can of worst. yeah. for this but only one percent of polk in germany is produced in this way. the oil tear in hanover is the world's largest trade fair for livestock farming. here we get an insight into industrial farming methods. it's clear that life on many german pig farms is a world away from the romantic view of country life. it's an industry. the price

competition is huge, especially in pig farming. the animals are a product and it's all about maximizing their value by increasing efficiency. optimizing all processes and minimizing costs. in 2021, 51800000 pigs was lost in germany. sales have been dropping for years, but poke is still the most popular meat in germany. the average person consumed 31 kilos of polk that yeah. that accounts for more than half of overall meat consumption at $55.00 kilos per person at the university of gibson's veterinary clinic off levelland is specialized in livestock breeding. in conventional meet production, every cent counts, full form is seeking to remain profitable because of the pressure on prices, there's very little room for maneuver. or because the sword is an i'm between defense also in the case that while the mothers remain on one farm,

the fact the pigments once they reach a certain age are passed on to another farm that a specialized and funding them up on the farm that gets the pickets for fattening once uniform groups because the next start lost a slaughter house and they also want uniform groups. all. that's because the law trying and then cutting up the meat is all organized based on certain norms. which you could say at the end of the day, a piece of toast has to fit in the toaster. what was in, in taught, and you can achieve that by forming these homogenous groups, will gain called margin pickets are also less susceptible to disease if they've all come from the same bon conventional fattening farms like to buy as many pickets as possible in one go. that's another reason why piggly produces one, there sounds to come in he together and give birth together. p m s g allows this whole cycle to be synchronized. so the sex hormone found in the blood of pregnant mass is more valuable than gold. just 100 grams of concentrated hallman can fetch

1400000 euros. that makes it an extremely lucrative business. back in not in tina. in march 2022 animal rights activists once again found severely injured mares on the premises of the syntex blood farm. it's clear, the operators were still paying no attention to the animals welfare the lab, and then say other lilian horses are not separated, entreated by a vet behind. they remain in the group bargaining the culprit. he has the man that's about here. you can see to mares that are both badly injured as he happened they both have deep open wounds on their legs. on the fat locsin as a by infesting glank. and how many teeth are awfully wound them. when c t m, you can still see the puncture marks of the canyon, the neck newly as a user, she's had blood drawn relatively recently. and norman, and you can also see here when she walks that she can't put much weight on her

right hind leg that osman car veterinarian, stephanie grammar is professor of laboratory animals, science and animal welfare at the university of keyson. when she saw the footage from the blood farms, she said the way the blood is extracted from the horses already violates animal welfare standards. does his niece, it's not normal for it to leave behind a visible wound. has he? uh, what would you conclude from the condition of the wounds here? a they suggest a lack of veterinary care and a fundamental failure to exercise the duty of care for the horses as living creatures eat dim. the mid gotcha fat cake. mm. but it's not just argentina. neighboring uruguay also has blood fonts in 2021 activist sabrina. good. not captured footage of especially emaciated mass. here she even found the remains of dead horses in the field. the unwonted falls are generally aborted late in

pregnancy. the poor condition of the mass appears to be intended. as i said, us her, her val, that is the perverse thing. it's basically all about efficiency. if you'd seen to al biden, there's some evidence that the more a may see it at the mayor's are of the worst, their condition, including their nutritional status. you know, the higher the level of p, m. s g found is to through who are, is dea, p, a, miscarriage. so you could conclude that they actually want the mayor's to be in especially poor condition and undernourished on those left to get the highest possible yield of p. m. s g. him on a nucleus toward pier mosquitoes, boyd, it's watson. there are no official statistics on how often p, m. sd is used in germany. experts estimate between 10 and 30 percent of farms work with the hormone. there are 3 companies in germany that offer p. m. s. g for use

and pick farming z home back bound book seaver and into vet once the blood has been extracted from pregnant mass on farms like those and argentina and uruguay. it's sold to the 3 pharmaceutical companies in germany. they then turn it into the cover to drugs that are sold to pick fullness. we attend an important veterinary congress in hanover. the on vac bound book had to stand here, but we weren't allowed to film and no one from the company was willing to speak to us either zealand that bound book sells a drug that contains p m s g from syntex source from the farm and argentina where the animal rights activists filmed the many lame horses in march 2022. we wanted to talk to sit on vac bound book to ask if those responsible in germany were aware of

the abuse going on at the farm. but we only received a written statement. we found no such confirmation of the allegations made to you by the animal welfare foundation regarding the farm where the p. m is g, for our product was obtained. no one appears keen to talk about the use of p. m. s g. neither the companies nor the farmers, nor veterinarians. back of the organic farm run by hover. note, we learn more about why the cycle of pregnancy, birthing and suckling needs to be synchronized, even without p. m. s t. the forms, 168 cells are kept in 7 groups. these picks are almost ready to move into the birthing or furrowing pen. the group opposite was inseminated 3 weeks ago. havoc no, i can tell from their behavior if the insemination has worked. this is already through this sound. number 420 has got a discharge. they're all,

she's restless. it hasn't worked all she's in heat again and get us a pick. and heat needs to be insemination quickly. so 420 is now a problem for the others. and her group all 3 weeks into their pregnancy. she doesn't fit into the group of nearly separated mothers either as they won't be inseminated for another 5 days. on the very with your i'll use the board to meet with her today. when i ordered the seamen from an insemination stay, obviously i wouldn't do that for a single animal martin does, but that's why we have the boar, who will inseminate her decking lesson. everything that deviates from the norm leads to extra costs, like this letter, for example, takes i usually pregnant for $114.00 days. but in this case, the mother has given birth early a week before her group mates. but disrupts the workflow we avoid in our be athens, even though we want to castrate the pig whats within the 1st 7 days?

yeah. cost. yeah. so i'm going to have to castrate these pilots before the rest of the group was who alice. that means i have to set up the equipment and prepare everything again later on the back of hon. it's all a while then we vaccinate articulates twice, and she now they won't fit into the vaccination schedule either. oh, fun, tom. so these things create more work and can have financial implications here if you like. we have a 13 pilots here. that's exactly if i open a pack with 20 shots of maxine what i have to throw 7 away was vaguely awe on organic farms. the higher costs can at least be compensated in part by the higher price at the meet hovered nut gets about $160.00 euros for each pig lit. depending on the market. non organic farmers often get barely a 3rd of that breeding expert ox event from geese and university conducted a study in this area. he wanted to know where the conventional farms have to rely

on p. m. s g to stay profitable. become between because what we looked for commercial run farms and also not hobby farms museum or open air museums or university farms and d d, but those that are in the commercial market. but don't use p s. m g farm gazoomba. we collected their experiences to see him yet as we bought this work in practice. darcy and we found that farms that produced a glitzy, as i said, commercially managed just as well without p m. s g as those that do use p m s j. now's a good outcome. mid p. m. escape. this form has experience with using p. m. s g, but decided to do without it. nadine and highly hank, his farm in west and germany is not organic. they have 1250 pigs who produce 40000 pig. let's e t m. one is getting birthright, now not in hanker is

a trained veterinarian. she makes sure the pickets are looked after. 24617 and all nadine hanker used to work for a major veterinary practice in northern germany that specialized in pegs. many of her colleagues prescribed p. m. s g, but she never had a good feeling about it. as i have all fallen up when i was practicing that, i try to avoid p. m s g because i was aware of how the mares were being treated in south america on and i know that you can manage without it. yeah, i know it was a warning it p m s t is expensive. it costs around $9.00 euros for single dose on a big farm like this one, the costs would run to more than $20000.00 euros a year. the hank has stopped using p. m. s. g 7 years ago, and even before that, they never used it on a grand scale gap claim was out in there, got really i couldn't see any advantage to it that really from the odd i was

recommended by the vet on. so, so we gave it a try, but it doesn't really achieve anything yet. so we just let the pigs of their natural cycle involved anybody and they're not really no with a little extra help from the farms full balls. once a day, the farmer ashes aboard past the south that are ready to get pregnant again. they've of them. if you have you been on the bore, works like a pin up on the idea. is that the so see him and smell him, and knowing that their pilots are gone, vet, have a desire to follow their natural urge again and to produce more offspring em. i'm not turning it off. well yes, we got off novels in the bay. that's not a real bore to bring us so into heat all hulu. once the board has done the rounds, and besides, already,

the father needs to act fast. the sooner he inseminate the pigs, the greater the chance of them becoming pregnant. meanwhile another so is having problems getting birth and needs. nadine hank has help us cloud like that. i low there in germany. prescription medications can only be obtained directly from the vet. that's in charge of the animals nadine hanker believes that's part of the problem with p. m. s t. i wanted to have a wonderful and is that vets? of course, earn money from the sale of the p. m. s g guys can are in the heart of their income, you know, 0 and that's something that as a veterinarian, you don't want to lose the r mcdaniel or professor p. m s g isn't only harvested in far away south america until relatively recently. the practice also existed in

germany, mo, her and east and germany as europe's largest stud farm for having her horses until 2021 blood was extracted regularly from pregnant mares here. unlike in argentina and uruguay, the horses here are at least used to humans. in december 2019 a television, true visit at the farm and spoke to the manager. she showed them the equipment used to extract the blood and photos of the practice. this is denise wouldn't permit. do you have for extracting blood from the horses? cried none. but why not by cut, because you don't need one that says country good fortune does man actually i can well imagine that people at moira assumed they'd acted correctly because the authorities didn't intervene, having yet faulkners. but after the t v program, the state office responsible for consumer protection did get involved. it checked

the conditions at the farm and then gave its approval. stephanie came, i can't understand why the authorities didn't bound the practice right away. as manase shed, in my opinion, it violates animal welfare standards because the horses are subjected to a level of stress that goes way beyond anything that's acceptable to the horse is used as a producer to generate this hormone empties. and because it's their blood that contains the hormone, you extract considerable quantities of blood from them in a heap, the mang, but you don't actually know what harm you might be inflicting on the horses in the process leaking shot, and mondays and patton, that we were to there are no scientific studies available to show how often and how much blood can be taken from pregnant mares without harming them or their unborn falls. but there are general guidelines for horses that are not pregnant. these

recommend a break of 30 days before collecting blood again. at murder. the horses had to give blood several times a week is as lobby, honesty, father, i think considerations about how the fall or even the mares are doing or not really factored in. because they're basically just the means of production. the goal is not to produce a fall. it's to produce p. m s g. and the useful life of the mares if you could put it that way, is also relatively lim said they might be used for 2 or 3 years. but after that, their bodies can't cope any more than 20 in the mail. in former communist east germany pierre miss g was an important source of income from star farms like mortar. when tommy would be reading the horses was only profitable because the blood of pregnant mares can be used in veterinary medicine.

the p. m. s g from moya was processed by a company called e d t b u log ika in des. so in 2019 it was bought up by french pharmaceutical seaver, which ended the contract with moira in 2021. moya stopped extracting blood from mess. since then no p m s g has been harvested in germany. cba didn't want to talk to us but sent a statement saying the p m. s g that we use for our medicines is sourced from iceland. because p m. s g from south america now has a bad reputation. more and more pharmaceutical companies are turning to iceland for the whole men into it. also sources. it's p a mystery from iceland. but other mares they're better off rights activists. sabrina. good night. and the team from animal welfare foundation also shot footage of p m. s g collection in iceland 1st

and 2019. and again in 2021. the mares here are semi wild taking blood from them as completely legal but even just capturing them is hugely stressful. for the horses in these on somebody coming in iceland, we saw one mayor struggling in the blood collection boxy up and trying to break free ice and motion as a result. one of her legs got trapped in the side wall and thought she was stuck there like that for a number of minutes. and you are so kind enough to relish valve even if i didn't, of course that can lead to serious injuries, caching. and she could also injure her head when she thrust it against the cross beam hit. by a construes, a animal welfare expert, stephanie coma studied this footage for us to. when can your son, you can see the poor condition of the wooden pens. i his in that already poses countless ways for the horses to injure themselves. it'll be dawn,

so fun. and then the way the merest tied up through means that when it tries to resilience, like you see it doing here, it can do itself serious harm. the hang by nice land, a course weighs around 300 kilos and us feel when that all starts to move and rotate around that sensitive axle of the neck. and it can lead to very severe injuries. i've spy and comes to hear from your so on its own seen the pharmaceutical company. cba is familiar with these images from 2021 and told us that since then all those involved have been monitoring the horses welfare very closely on a regular basis. our internet also told us that they are now keeping a constant check on the situation and take corrective measures where necessary. but we want to know why the use of these hormones is allowed in germany at all when they involve a process that is clearly distressing to the mass. we wanted to ask the german agriculture minister from the green party chem estimate why they are not binding

animal welfare standards in the production of medicines. but he had no time for us either. his ministry replied that he is pushing for animal welfare rules governing veterinarian medicines. in the e u. the argentinian firm syntex wouldn't comment on the allegations of abuse. they suggested the animal welfare foundation is a rogue organization, but didn't substantiate their claim. they'd send suspended pierre misty deliveries to germany citing illegal trespassing by in g o's and pending legal action that only organic pig farm in germany operations continue perfectly well without p . m. s g. these pickets are now old enough to thrive without milk from their mother's. in 6 weeks time, they'll be sent to another organic, som, to be fattened up while

rounding them up the foam and noticed that one of the pickets is much smaller than the others can. oh yes, this one's very small. does. it was probably smaller than the others right from birth and then couldn't catch up. or does he want to pat as much milk from the mother as his siblings on? i'll put him back into the cycle with the sow that doesn't have so many pig let's not. whether it's pigs giving birth early, all pickets who need to be suckled for longer. everything that is out of the normal rhythm ultimately adds to the price of the meat. but does our desire for cheap need justify the abuse suffered by the horses global as this, i don't think all the pig farmers are aware of the conditions under which the hormone is produced. so if they knew they might think differently on those of others. unfortunately consumers can't tell where p m sd has been used. there is no labeling system that includes the

hormone. the only way to be sure you're getting pork that hasn't involved the abuse of horses is to buy organic meat or do without it completely o time. once again, brain because this orchestra called the brain continuously adapts itself. and so we ask

a few astute questions. we smarter swarms or use psycho cra wouldn't causes monster waves. how powerful are your thoughts? we can control our thoughts, which makes us very powerful. questions about life, the universe and the rest our series? 40 to the answer, almost every thing this week on t w ah . nicole is a fitness trainer experiencing menopause. she wants more people to talk about it. of amazon. it's so taboo when we say we don't feel like sex because of our hormones . people say you can't say that out loud.
