Have you ever seen it? Big trucks on the roads filled with alive pigs. Pigs are very intelligent animals and they feel emotions such as fear and anxiety. They are put in small cages on the way to the slaughterhouses. I think this is horrible. The fact that european countries allow this is discusting.

A lot of goods are transported by trucks on the motorways in Europe (and surely elsewhere too), instead of going by train. The trucks are adding carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, they are noisy and create traffic problems. Instead of this, the goods could go by train. That would be much better for the environment! Just think of how many trucks could fit on one train! And, when the trains arrive at their final stop, smaller trucks driven by fossile free electricity can collect the goods and transport them to the final destination.
