Every week, millions of farm animals endure long, terrible journeys—sometimes lasting days, weeks or months—in cramped conditions on their way to slaughter.
They experience stress and exhaustion, rough handling, hunger and thirst, extreme temperatures and unsanitary conditions as they are transported—live—across the world. As a result, many animals suffer horrific injuries, diseases can be spread, and some individuals die before ever reaching their destination.

Thanks to HSI animal advocates who spoke out about this issue, Hawaii Food Products stated that as of April 2009, they would stop the long distance transport of pigs from the mainland to Hawaii for slaughter! | Humane Society International is part of the Handle with Care campaign, an international coalition calling for an end to the long distance transportation of animals for slaughter along various routes all around the globe.
