Resolution 134 (1957)

Author(s):

Parliamentary Assembly

Origin

(see Doc. 740, Report of the Committee of Agriculture). This Resolution was adopted by the Assembly at its 25th Sitting, on 28th October 1957

The Assembly,

Regretting that, despite efforts made by some Members of the Council of Europe effectively to regulate the export of live horses and livestock intended to be slaughtered for food, this traffic still continues under conditions which call for criticism ;

Considering that care of and kindness to animals is acknowledged to be a hall-mark of European civilisation,

Expresses the hope that the Governments and legislatures of all Members of the Council of Europe will forthwith introduce and pass into law legislation effectively regulating the export of live horses and livestock intended to be slaughtered for food, and to ensure implementation of such legislation.
