Baden-Württemberg tightens animal transit rules with stricter inspections

Baden-Württemberg has stepped up efforts to protect animals during transit with stricter inspections and a dedicated task force. Ministers recently visited an inspection site to observe how new regulations are being enforced on the ground. The state plays a key role as a transit hub, making these checks especially important for animal welfare.

The European Commission proposed updated rules in December 2023 to strengthen animal protection during transit. Baden-Württemberg has since pushed for practical improvements within this framework, aiming to set higher standards.

The inspections and task force reflect Baden-Württemberg’s commitment to stricter animal transit rules. With the state acting as a major transit route, these measures aim to reduce risks and improve conditions for animals in transit. Officials continue to monitor compliance while advocating for further practical reforms at the EU level.
