Animal Rights suggests « sixteenth stable fire this year » with shocking photos

Animal Rights spreads images of the killed and surviving animals in the most recent stable fire that demanded 150 animal lives in Alveringem last Friday. The photos show the charred bodies of the calves and cattle that died in the devastating fire. The surviving animals have visible burns in various places.

« This is already the 16th stable fire this year alone and our governments still keep no figures from the stable fires. Animal Rights wonders how many animals still have to die in burning stables before our politicians finally start to take action. In 2024, at least 67.133 animals of campagnel -wood die in Belgium, » says Animal Rightsburns.

Close constructions

According to Animal Rights, the number of victims during one fire is rapidly going through the industrial way in which farm animals are kept. « In the stables, animals are often also locked up in group cages, maternity cages or deck stables. These are all close constructions of steel pipes and separation plates. The animals can therefore easily escape themselves in the event of a fire and also for the fire brigade it is difficult to liberate to free them, » it sounds on the website.

« The core of this problem is not inadequate fire prevention and detection, but the cramming of huge numbers of animals that never come out and in many cases never see daylight. Even if there was an escape option, the animals would not even know how to flee, » says Van Campenhout.
