For lifestyle why does the Meat Industry persist in ignoring the welfare of the animals and people it relies on. Meat it seems the world cant get enough of it from poultry to steaks to fast food over the past 60 years annual global meat production has shot up 5 fold to 373000000 tonnes. Argentina australia and the us on the big 3 when it comes to per capita meat consumption. The Meat Industry is profit driven and Animal Welfare is often low priority transport can be torture for animals but in the e. U. Alone the industry transports 350000000. 00 mammals and around a 1000000000 poultry to albatross in feedlots each year. There are e. U. Regulations governing animal transport but the Meat Industry continues to violate them. Across the world animals that are still alive a put on trucks and ships to be traded from one country to another water or to be fattened before slaughter and their anticipation. Transporting these animals can take days and the more welfare of any ization is a warning that animals are often suffering in mentally ill. It was last summer and it was under group rumanian to greece and it was extremely it was 40 degrees outside and one transport stop along the road and there was one lamp lying on the floor and the floor was not you know saw downstairs and so it wasnt your metal floor and imagining it was just the hot shots boiling play. The e. U. Has specific Animal Protection at the nations when it comes to transport times to space temperatures and access to some water. Unfortunately theyre looking station its not. Its not stringent enough so there are still many to force and you know its also not applying to which the so there are regular violations even of what is written into law by. The german France Association does not agree. You know within the e. U. There is a relatively tight surveillance network. Maybe a rather different story outside. Before transport vehicle sets off in the e. U. An official veterinarian has to sign off on whether the regulations have been enforced before departure. But whether the regulations are still being followed along the way its often hard to check. Thats where the german wafa group animals angels comes and. They monitor Long Distance transportation is documented been regulations are being violated and communicate the violations to hurricanes. Generally they are overcrowded they are just too many animals and that they could move appropriately or reach drinking devices order travelling time theyre also open very much. For the animals instead of 29 hours on board which is already very common they are probably 3035. 00 up to be observed up to 60 hours after the authorities they didnt get one believe us if we if we did not have to prove but with video proof you can just there is no escape every year the e. U. Also exports roughly 800000 cows and 2600000 sheep and goats to countries outside the e. U. Animal welfare groups complain that there is no control over how these animals are being treated once they leave your territory and to countries that after dont have the same standards of Animal Protection. In the past videos of you bret animals being mistreated in the middle east and north africa have cost a strong. Animal welfare groups are asking to transport and a mostly close a slaughterhouse and then export the meat instead of transporting animals that are still alive. Why are they transported alive and not. Its all about the money because unfortunately its cheaper to transport them alive then chilled chilled meat socalled because you need to special trucks which came cool to meet in their reasoning and apparently its more expensive. Than to transport a life animal. To German Family association in greece. That Long Distance transports for the purpose of slaughtering an animal that brought us a perfect us. Who he thought in terms of animals meant was slaughtered which clearly against long as it was transforming strict. But it is a different situation for breeding animals because of the race will have to perform at their destination. So of course is very hard to be treated well you know what. Animal rights activists believe the reason breeding animals exploited and traded is that labor costs in some countries at cheaper than others. So its more economical to fatten animals in italy or spain than in germany or denmark. The German FamilyAssociation Says it has to do with the just sticks. Its kind of powerful economies and its not a question of economy but a question of markets and specialize ation. And how spain italy and above all in france holland austria the real market is much bigger than here in germany so these cards will be sent to those countries for fattening. That means our consumption behavior has a big influence on what animals are being exported to their. Dignity theres not much of that around for animals in the Meat Industry nor is there for the people working in its appa twangs the Union Stockyards in chicago builds in 865 was for a long time the worlds leading and most notorious meat packing district most of the people who work there were migrants they earned a pittance and injured exploitation and discrimination sadly such conditions are still all too common in the Meat Industry as we found out it to come. Niese in northwestern gemini. Its pretty clear what this company is all about even from outside its gates and free to feed him. Animals the barbecue meet on which tony s. Has built its renown and prosperity. But after decades of success the firm has becoming govt and scandal as more than 1500 workers tested positive for corona virus is spread rapidly due to the poor working and Living Conditions of the staff who were mostly from Eastern Europe the state of their accommodation is an open secret activist and has been protesting for years against the inhumane practices even setting up a citizens an initiative she takes us to see a workers dormitory which until recently was home to 13 romanian butchers inside women by a pungent stench the walls are coated to mold simply business as usual for 10 years contract because local residents were aware of that plight but turned a blind eye unlike in the. Fortys mouth we were protesting outside this Building Back in december 28th its been known for ages and. This mom who wishes not to be named slaved away as a subcontractor 10 yes for 2 years. Experience. But ours were the worst thing about. One of the afternoon and finished one of the morning. Overtime wasnt paid either he ended up quitting. Continues to sadly no exception in germany the massive test flushed rosenhaus lies about an hour in the pops trying to lay its also relies on hundreds of Eastern European butchers many of them contracts at the coronavirus. A group of demonstrators in front of the gates includes catholic priests pay to cross and he says this is nothing short of modern slavery. 69 of a hobby theyre working 60 hour weeks or more. People are having to live in moldy overcrowded dumps but these workers get carted here and packed minivans and buses the health risks is so high and i want to protest against it will just be over. In the neighboring community we come across a rundown far too small dormitory for best because the mostly right mania names on the door belong to people whove been in germany for a long time but theres little support from their employers to integrate them. He thought this is sort of its because its often the case that Migrant Workers from eastern and Southern Europe are here for many years but dont get the opportunity to learn german and they should be given this opportunity because they live here their families often join them should be able to become part of society and take part in social life david. Has been on the right of the tim cook town council for 20 years. She seen workers categorically marginalized under pressed. Ol i dont know very very sadly there are those here in our lovely town who think our problems are caused by workers from Eastern Europe. Ive also heard about situations where people who looked like they might come from romania were spat out by germans by people who live amongst us mention do you want to leave an attorney. Company names now synonymous with mass Coronavirus Infections and the exploitation of human beings. Of course there are very different ways of working with animals that utilizes their often exceptional talents dogs can help veterans overcome posttraumatic stress disorder. And dolphins can offer support to people with learning disabilities. Animals can also help enhance learning in the classroom like in the Dutch Caribbean island of curacao. This is bob hes not just any flamingo hes a flamingo with a mission. And hes great with kids. Bob has become famous in chorus south and beyond. And always by his side is odette the vet who saved the flamingo when he flew into a hotel window and collapsed. They both are there within 10 minutes i was in front of them like i am here for the flamingo and they were like. He could no longer extend his left wing and his feet had gone stiff there was no way he could go back into the wild so odette took him under her wing. Like oh. Name a swimming go. And look up up where bob only look like a bob there oh and now hes famous. Bob now has a new purpose in life thanks to odette. Once a week the pair head off to school together. With bob in the passenger seat. Im out of the reaction like oh if you go back people really think you speak so they think i guess what are all going to be putting others to me which is also funny. Now comes one of those deaths favorite moments. Like for. Promoting Animal Welfare with bob as her sidekick after a quick introduction the children and flamingo get better acquainted. The children are much shyer than bob who is well versed in these meet and greets odette spent months training him. In the most interest to make children fall in love with the well so that its using the best of their true you will have them believe that more understanding of what they will see in the world she then teaches them about Plastic Waste and animal conservation a discarded old kites can be a death trap for flamingos and other animals. Not so maybe a loving pig flamingo like bob could get tangled up in this and wouldnt be able to escape hed be crying help housing them. With bob there the message really gets across. Is that i think we need to take better care of animals. Beaten with a fish or. Plastic isnt good for them. The fight for Animal Welfare is vital here has an astounding variety of species above and below the water. But humans have left their mark all kinds of plastic washes up here and has left lying around as well as nylon thread and fishing hawks. Odette has had to surgically remove this Plastic Waste from animals her job as a vet is never over she works around the clock now 46 shes been rescuing wild birds since childhood. She found this one year old flamingo very ill and spent months helping the birds named ot recover they need not be to rehab rehab is not coddling rehab wild animals that are hurt you help them they put them back soon michigan its bobs job to keep ot company because flamingos are very social animals shes getting released back into the wild tomorrow. Oh did currently has 45 wild animals in her care she needs 80 kilos of food a week plus cages medicine bandages and a lot of time she couldnt manage without donations there were no. But all the hard work pays off especially on days like today when healthy animals go back into the wild. Odette has been bridging the gap between humans and animals for 18 years and perhaps its god whos helped her to win the most hearts. Are global ideas series is all about environmental and climate protection this week we go to tunisia where the effects of Climate Change of becoming increasing being noticeable in the area around the soil is dusty its becoming hard for farmers to cultivate their lands mortar has become a luxury if you. And few a pharmacy have enough of it. For many people around the world its easy to imagine an unending supply of water not so here to nish and farmer sharif shah e. B. Needs a lot of water to irrigate his all the roads and vegetables so he has 3 cisterns to collect rainwater. He takes pride in his work he owns 90 hectares of land which is a lot for the kairouan region has never been short on water before. Those on budget and can pump 6 liters per 2nd down to the fields and some of the system runs for 16 to 17 hours a day we use less water in the cooler winter months theres still enough rain and with our well we always have enough water. Not everyones situation is comfortable just 10 kilometers away beyond these mountains life is much harder. For most families here have to walk several kilometers to the nearest water source several times a day. Ready to day needs 250 liters of water every day just for his animals and fields. He needs an additional 40 liters for himself his wife and their 3 children. And thats when. Its really tough for the people who live in this region it takes everyone so much time to fetch water retired our children can carry on doing this every day its a burden on the entire region. We still have no Running Water at home that affects our quality of life its so hard were all trying to find solutions. Cisterns that collect rainwater runoff could offer the people here some relief. The German Development agency g. I. C. Is building 100. 00 of them until now a large part of the rainwater here was going unused. Sit down. This is sterns catch the rain water that runs off the houses which can be used as Drinking Water for irrigation to. The farmers can use it to grow our mons all over and rosemary which dont require that much water. Water scarcity in the arid region has long been a political issue and one that the government in the capital tunis is trying to resolve. Almost all the ministries are involved in some way but especially the ministry of agriculture. The shortage of water has become a crisis. Now actually mono. Does unbelievable pressure on this resource right now. B. C. The groundwater level is sinking and were having to go deeper and deeper. And there are areas where its now 5 metres down which is really unbelievable what. We need intelligent water meters and digital will to management while. I dont say i like to see new personnel trained as all thora ts in the sector. Will do just. So we need to promote development and research its about raising Peoples Awareness whats above all is about training. Going to the g. I. C. Development agency advises farmers and has set up what it calls water forums constructive strategies are developed there and farmers can discuss together which plants they would grow that would use less water. Wachter annoyance if you have a really unusual situation in the region were in now. Just basically no ground water left because too much of it has been used up over the years. So the farmers are now having to resort to stored water. The farmers get their water from this embankment dam it supplies more than half a 1000000 people in tunisia but as water levels decline its being pumped further and further across the country and that has a direct impact on the people here for the past 4 years theres been far too little rain. We need a strategy for building new dams a strategy for transporting water strategy for the regions where theres only rain water. On a strategy for using less water in general. To people of need to understand that they need to use water much more efficiently than theyve been doing so far. Pressure is mounting even on the farmers who didnt think they had to worry about their water supply like sharif shah e. B. E. In some places water is actually being stolen. In. The groundwater has already fallen considerably. The ministry carries out i knew it assessments and its continuing to fall. On top of that there are 35 illegal wells in this area alone. But can only 4 wells were built with permission. Its a really terrible situation. There are an estimated 20000 illegal wells in tunisia thats why raising awareness of the problem is so important. If nothing changes farmers and their animals will no longer be able to survive in these mountains. And then the region might soon become. Habited. d and now mingling the living rooms we check out a rather unusual home in believes. Hello welcome my name is a nice way here at the chaos oasis my home and saw the bullies come in this is our bedroom the living room. Chill area. This is a great space for yoga.

And it collects isnt rain water is solar powered and its built a house of recycled materials. So this we kept is the truth we know so all these bumps you see that you dont really see are all the tires and then we throw these and throw away and for a man and then you cover it up with cement and thats when you have. This is how we make all of our bottles the outside ones so that all 2 bottles cost and half and then cleaned you have to clean every single 1. 00 have to dry every single one and then you take them together and you basically make it as thick as you want you were.
