Uh, Ann, I've not been keeping up with the news. What is this animal transportation issue?
Well, while transporting animals from place to another, if the drive is long, the drivers won't let the animals come out from the lorries to walk around, there are often way too many animals on the lorries, no room to move, no possiblity to drink, eat etc. Just stand and wait. I've heard of cases where pigs had to stand for 14 hours before getting out. And that's not even the worsest things that hapen.

Maybe Ann can tell more?
