European Convention for the Protection of Animals during International Transport

The European Convention for the Protection of Animals During International Transport sets rules to ensure animals are treated humanely while being moved across borders. It requires proper care, suitable transport conditions (like adequate space, ventilation, and rest), and proper handling to minimize stress and suffering. The goal is to protect animals during long-distance journeys, whether by land, sea, or air, ensuring their welfare is a priority throughout the transportation process, and preventing cruelty or neglect.
