Was: Two animal rights activists spend 24 hours on an original fully slatted concrete pig floor
At the beginning of January he Constitutional Court the transition period for the ban on fully slatted floors was lifted as too long. At the moment it is neither clear when the end of the fully slatted floor will be sealed nor what the alternative should look like. From an animal welfare point of view, only an increase in space and mandatory straw bedding can end the pigs’ suffering. At 46% (1), almost every second pig in Carinthia is kept on fully slatted floors. The consequences of this husbandry system are one catastrophe for the animals. 92% of pigs suffer from painful, inflamed joints.
