Compassion in World Farming is playing a leading role in the 'Handle with Care' global campaign to stop the long distance transport of animals for slaughter.

A landmark victory against the long distance transport of animals is imminent...

Please support the Public Prosecutor of Pará State in his fight to ban live animal exports from one of Brazil's busiest ports.

Live exports are currently suspended, and this alone is groundbreaking. It is the first time ever that animal welfare has been a factor when halting live exports from a port. The Public Prosecutor, Benedito Wilson Sá, also argues that live exports damage the environment, discourage tourism and are ruining the state's slaughterhouse industry.

If the suspension becomes a permanent ban, over 100,000 cattle a year will be saved from a horrific three-week land and sea journey to Lebanon, during which many may animals die. But the suspension faces legal challenges by the export industry, forcing the Public Prosecutor to defend his case.

Please send Benedito Wilson Sá an email to show your support. Let him know that the world is watching Brazil's reaction to the suspension and is backing a permanent ban on the cruel and unnecessary long distance transport of animals for slaughter.

Thanx so much.

Thanks for posting it up - i meant to when i signed it this morning

PLEASE everyone - it will only take a little bit of thought and time to do - but for that animal loading up onto the truck to travel days tonight - to be killed (or die) in a few days time - they will thank you for sparing that time.

I always think that we may come back in a later life as either the animal we have helped - or the animal we have not - now thats scarey thinking
