Sign the open letter asking WOAH to update animal transport standards

Why it's urgent

The report gives no fixed deadline. CIWF asks WOAH to update its standards urgently, but no date for a WOAH decision is given.

The strategy

Signatures on an open letter show WOAH and its member governments that many people want transport standards tightened. One signature is a small contribution to a global letter.

Why it scored 58

Scale: Massive

At least 8 million farm animals a year are transported long distances within the EU alone, per CIWF's page, so a global standard would likely cover well over 10 million animals (my estimate).

Severity: Serious

Long journeys cause overcrowding, dehydration and fear, which is a meaningful harm that ending long-distance transport would reduce.

Chance of success: Long shot

Updating WOAH standards is a slow international process, and the report shows no sign of a decision.

Your difference: Small

A signature on an open letter is one of many, so one more has little effect.
