<P>A horrifying tragedy just unfolded at sea.</P>
<P><B>Nearly 2,900 cows, almost half of them pregnant, were trapped
aboard a livestock carrier for almost <I>two
months.</I></B> Dozens died in unimaginable pain.</P>
<P>This is not an accident – Europe is allowing this system that
treats living beings as cargo. <B>Now, we have a real chance of
banning this cruelty!</B></P>
<P>Cyprus just took over the EU presidency, and its leaders have
publicly committed to advancing stronger protections for animals
during transport. <B>But lawmakers won’t act unless we make
them feel the heat.</B></P>
<P>If all of us chip in we could make this issue a key priority
by <B>exposing the horrors with hard-hitting investigations,
running strategic ads to target key lawmakers,</B> and
supercharging people-powered campaigns across the EU and beyond to
defend animals.</P>
<P>The UK and Australia have moved to ban live animal exports – with
enough public pressure, we can force the EU to do the same.</P>
<P><B>Can you chip in to help end the cruelty?</B></P>

<P>Weeks after the livestock carrier left Uruguay, Turkish
authorities refused the ship permission to dock over missing
paperwork. <B>For over a month, these animals were trapped on a ship
of death, filth, and fear with nowhere safe to go. </B>Finally,
those who survived were unloaded in Libya. </P>
<P>We CANNOT allow this to keep happening. In 2023, the European
Commission promised to reform animal transport rules — limiting
journey times, banning transport in extreme heat, and easing the
suffering of animals on the move. <B>But over two years later, that
promise is stuck in the slow lane.</B></P>
<P>Britain banned live animal exports last year.<B> The EU still
hasn’t. </B>And now politicians across the EU are quietly watering
down or delaying social and environmental protections, including
animal transport reform.</P>
<P>That’s where we come in. If enough of us chip in today, Ekō could
launch a massive campaign push:</P>
<UL>
<LI aria-level=1>Running hard-hitting investigations to expose the
horrors happening at sea — then using the media firestorm that
follows to demand action; </LI></UL>
<UL>
<LI aria-level=1>Placing strategic ads targeting key EU lawmakers,
focusing especially on Cyprus as it takes over the EU
presidency; </LI></UL>
<UL>
<LI aria-level=1>Running people-powered campaigns across Europe
and beyond that turn public outrage into political cost. </LI></UL>
<P>This suffering is happening in plain sight. The question is
whether leaders will be allowed to look away — or whether we make it
politically impossible for them to do so.</P>
<P><B>Can you chip in right now to finally ban live exports
– and end animal cruelty?</B></P>
