The fully slatted floor kills: According to studies, about 3 times as many pigs die on fully slatted floors than in pig fattening with straw before slaughter
Vienna (OTS) –
When: Thursday March 25, 2021, 10 a.m.
Where: 1010 Vienna, Stubenring 1, in front of the Ministry of Agriculture
Was: An activist disguised as a pig spends an hour on a fully slatted concrete floor, while next to it an activist disguised as Minister Köstinger sits on an upholstered office armchair with hands dyed blood red
The VGT has documented and published the death of the pig Paul when he was kept on fully slatted floors, see https://vgt.at/paul. But he is only one example of many. A study in which the keeping of pigs on fully slatted floors was compared with that on a pasture and in straw, showed a mortality that was increased by a factor of 6.5 for the pasture and 3 for the straw housing. But Agriculture Minister Köstinger is burying her head in the sand and taking no responsibility.
“Köstinger has blood on her hands”
