De mannelijke kalfjes zijn <b>niet nuttig <\/b>omdat ze geen kalveren kunnen krijgen en melk produceren.

Some of the trucks contain cows destined for Turkish dairy farms. The animals jostle for space in the narrow trucks with excrement-covered floors and endure hunger, thirst and high temperatures, among other difficult conditions on their days-long journey. As a result, the animals can be exposed to transmissible diseases and are particularly vulnerable to illness, stress and injuries.\\r\\n\\r\\nEvery year, thousands of farmed animals withstand multi-day journeys to Turkiye as part of the European Union-Turkiye live animal trade.

According to the EU Transport Regulation 1\\\/2005, animals in transport must be rested and fed at rest stops, but unloading them from the trucks is not required. The regulation also prohibits animal transport when temperatures exceed 30\\u00b0C (86\\u00b0F), yet transport of animals has been observed when temperatures were 35\\u00b0C (95\\u00b0F) or more.&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;Havva Zorlu \\\/ We Animals&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;A dairy cow being transported from Germany to Turkiye looks into the camera from inside a transport trailer.
