This is a serious matter, that the environment and food Jakob Ellemann-Jensen (V) appears to have given Parliament false information regarding the number of pigs that die on the way out of the country.
It says the Danish people’s party dyrevelfærdsordfører, Karina Dove.
– It is very serious that the government does not get the correct information.
– When we ask about something, it is absolutely essential that we get the correct answer, says Karina Dove.
the Case is about the live pigs, as the Danish farmers exporting abroad.
In 2017 was 9,4 million pigs sent out of the country to be slaughtered or fattened.
Within the trip out of the country are the pigs gathered in eksportstalde.
the Protection of Animals could one day reveal that up to 9000 pigs per year not leaving the samlestaldene alive.
They die or are killed, because they are in such poor condition that they can’t keep to the further transport.
the Minister has in the past been asked about the extent of dead pigs in samlestaldene. But he has adhered to a response from the Fda that it is not possible to determine the figure.
get the Socialists dyrevelfærdsordfører, Simon Kollerup (S), to criticise the minister.
– We have a minister to do – Jakob Ellemann-Jensen – who apparently has given Parliament false information in this case, says Simon Kollerup to DR News.
the Minister lays down flat and apologize in an email to DR.
An excuse, as Karina Dove is happy with. She believes, however, that the matter stops there.
– I expect that the minister goes back to its hinterland in the Fda and thunder to them.
– He has probably given information, which he thought was right. So I have no doubts about where the monkey should be placed along, says Karina Dove.
The 9000 pigs, which die or are killed during export out of the country, according to dyrevelfærdsordføreren an ‘exceptionally high number’.
DF reached in december last year an agreement with the government to strengthen the control of udkørende trucks in a period of time.
The settlement we have made to get cleared up in the industry.
– so Far it has almost been a free place to transport animals, there was not transportegnede. But going forward we get scanned the whole area and found the black sheep, so we can clamp down, says Karina Dove.
Simon Kollerup provide to Ritzau, that the Social democrats will convene Jakob Ellemann-Jensen, in consultation on the matter.
