Cavalli trasportati dalla Spagna e dall’Est Europa su camion per 36-46 ore spesso senza riposo, senza cibo e acqua ed esposti a temperature che d’estate superano i 40° per essere poi destinati alla macellazione in Italia: è la denuncia della LAV che con un nuovo dossier e un video documenta il trattamento impietoso e il trasporto in condizioni spesso illegali, di circa 80mila cavalli vivi nel 2006 per la macellazione in Italia. "L’Italia importa l’84% dei cavalli vivi movimentati nell’UE" - afferma la LAV che segnala come "i consumatori italiani non sono correttamente informati circa l’esatta provenienza di questa carne e sono invece spesso convinti di comprare carne di cavalli locali".
