German slaughterhouses. Transports is known to be highly stressful for livestock why does the Meat Industry persist in ignoring the welfare of the animals and people it relies on. Meat it seems the world cant get enough of it from poultry to steaks to fast food over the past 60 years i mean will global meat production has shot up 5 fold to 373000000 tonnes. Argentina australia and the us on the big 3 when it comes to per capita meat consumption. The Meat Industry is profit driven and Animal Welfare is often low priority transport complete. But in the e. U. Alone the industry transports 350000000. 00 mammals and around a 1000000000 poultry to albatross and feed logs each year. There are e. U. Regulations governing animal transport but the Meat Industry continues to violate them. Across the world animals that are still alive are put on trucks and ships to be traded from one country to another in either the water or to be fed and the forced water at their destination. For them. Transporting these animals can take days and then a more well for that is a shame is a warning that animals are often suffering in the ensley only. It was last summer and it was under group rumanian to greece and it was extremely hot it was 40 degrees outside and one transport stuck a longer wrote and there was one lamb lying on the floor and the floor was knocked you know with sawdust and so it wasnt york met. And imagining it was just the. Boiling plague. The e. U. Has specific elements protection education when it comes to transfer times to space temperatures and access to food water. Unfortunately their legislation is not. Its not stringent enough so there are still many loopholes and. Its also not applied to the way it should be so there are regular analysts and even what is written got. The german from this association does not equate. You know within the u. There is a relatively tight surveillance network. And maybe a rather different story outside the. Law. Before transport vehicle sets off in the e. U. An official veterinarian has to sign off on whether the regulations have been enforced before departure. But whether the regulations are still being followed along the way its often hard to check. Thats where the german Welfare Group animals engines comes and. They monitor Long Distance transportation is documented been regulations have been violated and communicate the violations to authorities. Generally they are overcrowded there just too many animals in fact that they could move appropriately or reach drinking devices ordered travelling times theyre also open very much. For the animals instead of 29 hours on board which is already very long they are probably 3035. 00 up to be observed up to 60 hours after new authorities day i think they will believe us if we if we did not have to proof but with video proof you can just there is no escape every year the e. U. Also exports roughly 800000 cows and 2600000 sheep and goats to countries outside the e. U. Animal Welfare Groups complain that there is no control over how these animals are being treated once they leave your territory and to countries that after dont have the same standards of animal protection. Just. In the past videos of e. U. Bred animals being mistreated in the middle east and north africa have cost a strong. Animal Welfare Groups are asking to transport and a mostly closed a slaughterhouse and then export the meat instead of transporting animals that are still alive. Why are they transported alive im not there its all about the money because unfortunately its cheaper to transport them alive then chilled chilled me its a coke because you need to special trucks which came cool to me. And there is a thing and apparently its more expensive. Than to transport a lot and. The German Family association agrees that Long Distance transports for the purpose of slaughtering animal abroad as a person. Who was in terms of animals meant was slaughtered which clearly against Long Distance transform stricken. But so it is a different situation for breeding animals as individuals will have to perform at their destination. So of course very hard to be treated well you know what. Animal rights activists believe the reason breeding animals exploited and traded is that labor costs in some countries at cheaper than in others. So its more economical to threaten animals in italy or spain then in germany or denmark. The German FamilyAssociation Says it has to do with a just its. Its kind of hard its not a question of economy but a question of markets and specialize ations. And in spain italy and above all in france holland austria the real market is much bigger than here in germany so these cards will be sent to those countries for fattening good. News and. That means our consumption behavior has a big influence on blood animals are being exported to their. Dignity theres not much of that around for animals in the Meat Industry nor is there for the people working in its hour but once the Union Stockyards in chicago builds in 865. 00 was for a long time the worlds leading and most notorious meat packing district most of the people who work there were migrants they owned a pittance. Exploitation and discrimination sadly such conditions of still all too common in the Meat Industry as we found out at 2 companies in northwestern gemini. Its pretty clear what this company is all about even from outside its gates innovative. Animals the barbecue meat on which 20 years has built its renown and prosperity. Its often decades of success the firm has becoming govt and scandal as more than 1500 workers tested positive for corona virus is spread rapidly to the poor working and Living Conditions of the staff who were mostly from Eastern Europe the state of their accommodation is an open secret activist has been protesting for he is against the inhumane practices even setting up a citizens an initiative she takes us to see a workers dormitory which until recently was home to 13 romanian butchers inside were met by a pungent stench the walls are coated to mold simply business as usual for 10 years contract work as local residents were aware of their plight but turned a blind eye unlike in the. Forties mouth we were protesting outside this Building Back in december 28th seem its been known for ages and. This mom who wishes not to be named slaved away as a subcontractor attorney as for 2 years. Experience set up a new about the hours were the worst thing about. Your start at one of the afternoon and finished at 1 in the morning. Overtime wasnt paid either he ended up quitting. Continues to sadly no exception in germany the massive test flushed rosenhaus lies about an hour in a top story the line its also relies on hundreds of Eastern European coaches many of them contract at the coronavirus. A group of demonstrators in front of the gates includes Catholic Priest pay to cross and he says this is nothing short of modern slavery. 60 men have a hobby theyre working 60 hour weeks or more. People are having to live in moldy overcrowded dumps but these workers get carted here and packed minivans and buses the health risks is so high and i want to protest against it because the other. In the neighboring community we come across a rundown far too small dormitory for best because the mostly right mania names on the door belong to people who have been in germany for a long time but theres little support from their employers to integrate them. This is sort of its because its often the case that Migrant Workers from eastern and Southern Europe are here for many years and dont get the opportunity to learn german and they should be given this opportunity because they live here their families often join them should be able to become part of society and take part in social life is a toughie david. Has been on the radio he tim cook town council for 20 years. She seen workers categorically marginalized underpriced. Very very sadly there are those here in our lovely town who think our problems are caused by workers from Eastern Europe. Ive also heard about situations where people who looked like they might come from romania were spat out by germans by people who live amongst us mentioned here and we dont want to leave. Turn on fast. Company names now synonymous with mass corona virus infections and the exploitation of human beings. Of course there are very different ways of working with animals that utilizes their often exceptional talents dogs can help veterans overcome posttraumatic stress disorder. And dolphins can offer support to people with learning disabilities. Animals can also help enhance learning in the classroom like in the Dutch Caribbean island of curacao. This is bob hes not just any flamingo hes a flamingo with a mission. And hes great with kids. Bob has become famous in chorus south and beyond. And always by his side is odette the vet who saved the flamingo when he flew into a hotel window and collapsed. They boasted that within 10 minutes i was in front of them like i am here for the flamingo and they were like. He could no longer extend his left wing and his feet had gone stiff there was no way he could go back into the wild so odette took him under her wing. Like oh. Name a swimming though. I dont look up all the mug where bob only look like a bob there oh and now hes famous. Bob now has a new purpose in life thanks to odette. Once a week the pair head off to school together. With bob in the passenger seat. Belt im a reaction like oh if you go back people really think you speak so they think i just want to round with me putting others to me which is also funny. Now comes one of odets favorite moments. Like for. Promoting Animal Welfare with bob as her sidekick after a quick introduction the children and flamingo get better acquainted. The children are much shyer than bob who is well versed in these meet and greets odette spent months training him. The most which is to make children fall in love with the wildlife so that its using the best of their so its true you will have them build with more understanding of what they will see in the adults she then teaches them about Plastic Waste and animal conservation a discarded old kites can be a death trap for flamingos and other animals. Also may be a left wing pig flamingo like bob could get tangled up in this and wouldnt be able to escape hed be crying help house. Help with bob there the message really gets across. Is i think we need to take better care of animals. Take him with a fish or. Plastic isnt good for them. The fight for Animal Welfare is vital here has an astounding variety of species above and below the water. But humans have left their mark all kinds of plastic washes up here and has left lying around as well as nylon thread and fishing hooks. Odette has had to surgically remove this Plastic Waste from animals her job as a vet is never over she works around the clock now 46 shes been rescuing wild birds since childhood. She found this one year old flamingo very ill and spent months helping the birds named ot recover the needs not be to rehab rehab is not coddling rehab while animals that are hurt. You help them they put them back soon to chicago its bobs job to keep ot company because flamingos are very social animals shes getting released back into the wild tomorrow. Oded currently has 45. 00 wild animals in her care she needs 80 kilos of food a week plus cages medicine bandages and a lot of time she couldnt manage without donations there. Were no. Yeah. But all the hard work pays off especially on days like today when healthy animals go back into the wild. Odette has been bridging the gap between humans and animals for 18 years and perhaps its bob whos helped her to win the most hearts. Of global ideas series is all about environmental and climate protection this week we go to china zia where the effects of Climate Change are becoming increasingly noticeable in the area around the soil is dusty its becoming hard for farmers to cultivate that lambs mortar has become a luxury fewer and fewer farmers here have enough of it. For many people around the world its easy to imagine them an ending supply of water not so here tunisian farmer sharif shah e. B. Needs a lot of water to irrigate his all the fruits and vegetables so he has 3 sisters and to collect rainwater. He takes pride in his work he owns 90 hectares of land which is a lot for the kairouan region hes never been short of mortar before. Can pump 6 liters per 2nd down to the fields and summer the system runs for 16 to 17 hours a day we use less water in the cooler winter months the still enough rain with our well we always have enough water. Not everyones situation is comfortable just 10 kilometers away beyond these mountains life is much harder. For most families here have to walk several kilometers to the nearest water source several times a day. Ready to day needs 250 liters of water every day just for his animals and fields ready. He needs an additional 40 leaders for himself his wife and their 3 children. And this will happen and its really tough for the people who live in this region it takes everyone so much time to fetch water retired our children can carry on doing this every day its a burden on the entire region. We still have no Running Water at home it affects our quality of life its so hard were all trying to find solutions. Cisterns that collect rainwater runoff could offer the people here some relief. The German Development agency g. I. C. Is building 100. 00 of them until now a large part of the rainwater here was going unused. Sit down. This is sterns catch the rain water that runs off the houses which can be used as Drinking Water for irrigation to. Be called. The farmers can use it to grow our mons all over and rosemary which dont require that much water. What are scarcity in the arid region has long been a political issue and one that the government in the capital tunis is trying to resolve. Almost all the ministries are involved in some way but especially the ministry of agriculture. The shortage of water has become a crisis. Now actually mono. Does unbelievable pressure on this resource right now. B. C. The ground water level is sinking and were having to go deeper and deeper. And there are areas where its now 5 metres down which is really unbelievable what. We need intelligent water meters and digital Water Management while. The asian id also like to see new personnel trained as all thors hes in the sector. Will do just. So we need to promote development and research its about raising Peoples Awareness whats above all is about training. Going to the g. I. C. Development agency advises farmers and has set up what it calls water forums constructive strategies are developed there and farmers can discuss together which plants they would grow that would use less water. Wachter annoyance if you have a really unusual situation in the region were in now is probably. Just basically no ground water left because too much of it has been used up over the years. So the farmers are now having to resort to stored water. The farmers get their water from this embankment dam it supplies more than half a 1000000 people in tunisia but as water levels decline its being pumped further and further across the country and that has a direct impact on the people here for the past 4 years theres been far too little rain. Or. A strategy for building new. Strategy for transporting water strategy for the regions where theres only rain water. On a strategy for using less water in general. To people of need to understand that they need to use water much more efficiently than theyve been doing so far. Pressure is mounting even on the farmers who didnt think they had to worry about their water supply like sharif show how easy in some places water is actually being stolen. The groundwater has already fallen considerably. The ministry carries that i knew assessments and its continuing to fall. On top of that there are 35 illegal wells in this area alone. 4 wells were built with permission. Its a really terrible situation. There are an estimated 20000 illegal wells in tunisia thats why raising awareness of the problem is so important. If nothing changes farmers and their animals will no longer be able to survive in these mountains. And then the region might soon become and in. Habitant. d and now when global living rooms we check out a rather unusual home in philly. Hello welcome my name is a nice way here at the chaos oasis my home and southern believes coming this is no bedroom living room. Chill area. This is a great space for yoga. But its not with the words you see. It is all made from bottles. Just one of these are just approximately 220. 00 bottles on each one and then the bottom beings which of the beams which is white here and which has got the glyphs on that one they are are made from plastic bottles and weve aligned it south north south so in the morning we get the morning sun and its here afternoon now so you can see we are all alike coming in. And the sun set because we have a red floor everything goes pink.

And it collects isnt rain water is solar powered and its built a house of recycled materials. So this we kept is the truth where no so all these bumps you see that you dont really see are all the tires and then we throw these and throw away and fro and then you cover it up with cement and thats when you get. To this is how we make all of our bottles the outside ones so that all 2 bottles caution half and then cleaned you have to clean every single one have to dry every single one and then you take them together and you basically make it as they can see what youre.
