it's 10 times more ah, holocaust survivors in postwar, germany for them life after 1945 through today has meant starting a new and processing the past. it's been a common notion and the post more period until and part to day. nancy's are always those other people under the ongoing struggle for remembrance and against denial in the land of the perpetrators starts may 6th on d, w ah ah, the vast plains of south america, a home to hugh turds of semi wild horses. some are subject to

a brutal practice. so cold blood farms extract blood from pregnant mast to provide a hormone used in pig farming around the world. old to produce cheap pork. he couldn't but heated food. this hormone, p, m. s g is used to control the reproductive process. doyle are normally the pigs would come and heat at different times when speech. by synchronizing better, you can increase efficiency. but for the horses, it involves terrible suffering. images filmed on south american farms have drawn criticism from experts, da houses. 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. midco ship fat cake. ringback 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 will the animal welfare foundation in germany who visited the blood farms in south america? it suggests systematic abuse and neglect, all because the man's blood contains the sought after whole 9 p. m. s. d, which plays a major role an industrial pig farming theater. tinian company syntex runs blood farms in argentina and europe. why? the mares 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 goodner from the animal welfare foundation has been recording the appalling conditions on south american blood farms. yet i took our 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. of his it's just 2 or 3 months. i mean oxen and dazzled during the short period as much blood as possible as taken from the mares. much more than international guidelines recommend. and even for horses that aren't pregnant, neat, placed, he good in this poses great health risks, both for the mayor's and their unborn falls, slaughter went alford younger one and fallen. the farms are not keen to have the operations observed 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 megabyte of this worker is using an iron hook to go the mayor into the restrained box to book see, and you can see how scared she is, how missy for she is resisting and panicking the veil. she undergoes this every week,

and so each time she's even more scared than the last one and fights even harder to resist going into the box up the knock me out. i'm so gaining the to fix your book . syntex has since invested a lot of money and security measures to prevent any more footage getting out. this must treatment 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. mm . 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 herd includes $168.00 pigs plus they're young. for the past 40 days, the mothers have been suckling their young and the store. now it's time for the

pilots to be weaned. so farmer hug not, and his son leo, not, we'll separate them from their mothers. them it 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. either. leona guides them outside from that, but he locks the pig let's in tom. jamante is the mother's, do worry when they realize what's happened and at least we'll go more, but this worry and also the milk pressure on the otter. and he helps to bring them back in heat for that. so this is an important thing for us. this because of her being in hate means they're able to conceive again their lead straight into the center where they will later be impregnated. but 1st, they had a 5 day break function yet in missouri, it works 95 percent of the time, doug, me what a day is saturday. so on wednesday we'll inseminate them again on miss how's the given, especially nice feed to sweet and the separation from they picnic. 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? is the 5th generation in his family to found the land. he runs the business with his 2 sons. ah, by the time a picket is winged, it should weigh around 11 killers, puzzles they were all okay in terms of their weight on them. like in many german families as ham and sausage meat 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 labor patty. we've already eaten the pork sausage, but we've just had another slaughter and are waiting for the results. well, 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. cells have been dropping for years, but poke is still the most popular meat in germany. the average person consumed $31.00 kilos of polk that here,

that council more than half of overall meat consumption at $55.00 kilos per person . at the university of gibson's veterinary clinic, i severely and a specialized in livestock reading in conventional meet production, every cent counts, full farm is seeking to remain profitable because of the pressure on prices. there's very little room for maneuver whether his disorders and i'm between the defense also in the case that while the mothers remain on one farm, the factor bigots once they reach a certain age are passed on to another farm that a specialized and funding them up. when did the farm that gets the pickets for fattening once uniform groups? because the next start, last a slaughter house in they also want uniform groups off. that's because he had watering 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 toss and you can achieve that by forming these homogenous groups,

will gain gold mirage. pickets are also less susceptible to disease if they 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 producers want their cells to come and 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 argentina, 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 was still paying no attention to the animals welfare, the lamb, and then father, lilian horses are not separated and treated by

a vet behind. they remain in the group bargaining the culprit. he asked 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 fet locsin as a band facing glank. how many teeth awful i wound them when c t m. you can still see the puncture marks of the canyon, the neck newly as o u. so she's had blood drawn relatively recently. no, ma'am. 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 clamor 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 houses already violates animal welfare standards. does his niece, it's not normal for it to leave behind a visible wound? has he? what would you conclude from the condition of the wounds here? um 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 good fat cake. mm. but it's not just argentina. neighboring uruguay also has blood farms in 2021 activists. 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. said a sir, have al, that is the perverse thing. it's basically all about efficiency. if you'd seen to al biden, there is some evidence that the more a may see it, the mayors are, are the worst their condition, including their nutritional status. you know, the higher the level of p, m, s g front is there through who up 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 on a nucleus to war. pier mosquitoes, boy, it's watson. there are no official statistics on how often p m. history is used in germany. experts estimate between 10 and 30 percent of farms work with the hormone . there are 3 companies in germany that off a 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 fulness. we attended an important veterinary congress in hanover. the home vac bound book

had a stand here. but we weren't allowed to film and no one from the company was willing to speak to us either. zillow, that bound book sells a drug that contains p. m. s g from syntex source from the far manage and tina, where the animal rights activists filmed the many lame horses. in march 2022. we wanted to talk to salen 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 information 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 huddled notes, 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 pigs 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 auditor, this sound number 420 has got a discharge. is that all? she's restless. it hasn't worked all she's in heat again and it us a pic and heat needs to be inseminated 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 insemination for another 5 days of the video, i'll use the board to meet with her to de leon while i order the seamen from an insemination station. i'll because i would, i wouldn't do that for a single animal martin does, but that's why we have the bore,

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 your voice in our bathrooms entire. we want to castrate the pilots within the 1st 7 days. yeah. question. so i'm going to have to castrate these pigments before the rest of the group or some others. that means i have to set up the equipment and prepare everything again later on the back of any other ones are fine, then we vaccinate articulates twice in shima. 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 lie, we haven't 13 pickets here, but it's in fact if i open a pack with 20 shots of vaccine, 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 of the meat. 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, oxer, vaillant 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. d to stay profitable. we haven't been to the beggars what we looked for commercial iran farms. so not hobby farms museum or open air museums or university farms. indeed the but those that are in the commercial market. but don't use p s. m g problem gazoomba. we collected their experiences to see him yet as we bought this at work and 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 of come. mid p, a mosquito. this farm has experienced with using p. m. s g, but decided to do without it. nadine and highly hank, his farm in western germany is not organic. they have 1250 pigs who produce 40000 pig. let's. e t n one is getting birthright. now nadine hanker is a trained veterinarian. she makes sure the pickets are looked after. 524617 and o 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 don't want to get p. m s g 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. yup. kind what i mean, i don't think i couldn't see any advantage to it that you know, from the authors recommended by the vet on. so we gave it a try, but it didn't really achieve anything yet. so we just let the pigs have their natural cycle involved. anybody in there not really know with a little extra help from the farms full balls. once a day the farmer usher is a boar passed the south that are ready to get pregnant. again, the name of them from if you have you been on the bore, works like a pin up on the ideas that the so see him and smell him and knowing that their

pilots are gone back. have a desire to follow their natural urge again. and to produce more offspring, you might not turning it off. it really got off novels anyway. that's not a real bore to bring us so into heat. all her once the bore 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 as having blooms giving birth and needs nadine hank, his help of club mad like that. i. lo aloe 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, earned money from the sale of the p. m. s g guys, you know, in the heart of their income, another young and that's something that as a veterinarian, you don't want to lose. he often itsyana officer p. m. s. g isn't only harvested in far away south america. until relatively recently, the practice also existed in germany. mo, her in east and germany is 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 crew visited the farm and spoke to the manager. she showed them the equipment used to extract the blood and photos of the practice that he came in

wouldn't permit. do you have for extracting blood from the horses? i had none, but why not? by cut because you don't need one that says country good fortune. jasmine, actually i can well imagine that people at moira assumed they'd acted correctly because the authorities didn't intervene have in yet faulkner's. but after the tv program, the state office responsible for consumer protection did get involved. it checked the conditions at the farm and then gave its approval. really, stephanie cram, i can't understand why the authorities didn't bound the asked us right away. asked manas east, in my opinion, it violates animal welfare standards. because of the horses are subjected to a level of stress that goes way beyond anything that's acceptable on the horse is used as a producer to generate this hormone entities. and because it's their blood that

contains the hormone, you extract considerable quantities of blood from them in a hip beaming, but you don't actually know what harm you might be inflicting on the horses in the process leaking, shaddon, 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. this is gabby only 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 limited. they might be used for 2 or 3 years, but after that their bodies can't cope any more than cleanliness. now in former communist east germany, pierre, miss g was an important source of income from star farms like mortal. 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 beluga 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 d has been harvested in germany. cba didn't want to talk to us but sent a statement saying the p m is gee,

that we use for our medicines is sourced from iceland. because p m. s g from south american now has a bad reputation. more and more pharmaceutical companies are turning to iceland for the hormone innovate also sources. it's p a mystery from iceland. but other mess 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 his land, somebody having in iceland we saw one mer struggling in the blood collection boxy up and trying to break free ice and most 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 anishia beacon if and of course

that can lead to serious injuries. could shane me? she could also injure her head when she thrust it against the cross beam hit by a conspiracy. oh animal welfare experts, stephanie coma studied this footage for us to. when can your son, you can see the poor condition of the wooden panza. his that already poses countless ways for the horses to injure themselves. it will be dancer followed and then the way the mare is tied up through means that when it tries to resist the act like you see it doing here, it can do itself serious harm. the hang that nice land, a course weighs around $300.00 kilos. vendors, yeah. when that are all starts to move and rotate around that sensitive axle of the neck and it can lead to very severe injuries, eyes boy, and comes here. she also valid on the pharmaceutical companies. 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 the 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 firms syntex wouldn't comment on the allegations of abuse. they suggested the animal welfare foundation is a rogue organisation, but didn't substantiate their claim. they'd send suspended p. m. s g deliveries to germany citing illegal. trespassing by

n g o's and pending legal action back on the 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 mothers. in 6 weeks time, they'll be sent to another organic farm to be fattened up while rounding them up the farm. a notice as that one of the pickets is much smaller than the others can. oh yeah, this one's very small doesn't. it was probably smaller than the others right from birth and then couldn't catch up. or do you want to pat as much milk from the mother as his siblings on? i'll put him back into the cycle with a sound that doesn't have so many pig words, 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, as this, i don't think all the pig farmers are aware of the conditions under which the hormone is produced. pakistan if they knew they might think differently on those with. unfortunately, consumers can't tell where p m s g has been used. there is no labeling system that includes the hormone. the only way to be sure you're getting pulled that hasn't involved the abuse of horses is to buy organic meat or do without it completely.

when he co india, they call themselves healing him anadia and they're growing in numbers. the environmentalists are cleaning out the rubbish left behind by millions of tourists in the mountains, is one of the downsides of the tourism boone and poses a threat to the livelihoods of many people in the region. in 30 minutes on d. w. oh ah
