Awakening Slaughter animals walk for hours in the heat

We tell the news and topics of the day quickly.

Animals for slaughter may be transported at a temperature of up to 35 degrees for several hours

Tens of millions of farm animals travel along Finland’s roads every year. Slaughter transport trips accumulate in large numbers, as more than 80 million farm animals are slaughtered in Finland each year. According to a researcher specializing in animal rights, not many violations are observed in Finnish transport because the law regulating transport is invalid.

In rural jobs, foreign workers often miss out on salary, allowances and holidays according to the contract

According to the Finnish Industry Association, the rules of the game in Finnish working life are often broken in rural companies when the employee is a foreign seasonal worker or someone working with a work permit. Notices about trampling on working conditions will be e.g. from underpayment, excessively long working hours, missing holidays and breaks. Contract partner Maaseudun Työnantajaliitto MTA admits that the contract is sometimes violated due to ignorance.
