Brittany Ferries plans to resume live animal exports from Rosslare Europort to Cherbourg, marking the first time in 30 years. The company emphasizes adherence to high animal welfare standards and clarified that transported livestock will not be destined for slaughter. However, several animal rights organizations, including Compassion in World Farming, expressed their concerns, urging for a reversal of this decision and gathering support from notable public figures. Brittany Ferries' commitment to animal welfare will be scrutinized as the operation begins.
"Animal welfare is of paramount importance to Brittany Ferries," the statement continued. "The Cotentin has been specifically selected for this service, as it is oriented towards freight transport and equipped to provide the best possible care for animals during transit."
Despite these assurances, several animal welfare NGOs have expressed concerns, including Compassion in World Farming, Ethical Farming Ireland, Eyes on Animals and L214.
