MOVING SLOVENIA 6.0. 2022
Breaking the Silence - Slovenia's Role in Europe's Animal Transport Crisis
At the recent Moving Slovenia 6.0 business and logistics conference, organized by the Austrian Chamber of Commerce, Advantage Austria Slovenija, and Finance News Academy, Tyasha Alion—representative of the Alion Institute and member of the Knight's Order of St. George from Carinthia—raised critical questions that demand our immediate attention.
While conference discussions focused on Slovenia's logistics infrastructure and national-level challenges, Alion directed the spotlight toward a darker reality: the brutal conditions endured by animals in our transport systems.
The current EU regulations governing animal transport need strengthening and enforcement. But beyond policy changes, we need a fundamental shift in consciousness

Every time we choose convenience over compassion, we become complicit in this system of suffering. Every silent moment at conferences like Moving Slovenia 6.0 represents a missed opportunity for meaningful change.
The animals cannot speak for themselves. We must be their voice.
Slovenia has the opportunity to lead by example—to transform from a passive transit point for animal suffering into a champion of humane transport standards. But this requires courage from our logistics industry, our government, and each of us as consumers.
The footage exists. The evidence is clear. The choice is ours.
Will you join the conversation that matters most—the one about those who cannot speak for themselves?
Take Action:
- Contact your local representatives about animal transport regulations
- Support businesses with transparent, humane practices
- Share this message to break the silence surrounding animal welfare in logistics
- Demand accountability from companies using the Slovenian transport infrastructure

The Uncomfortable Truth We Must Face is that we are failing our most vulnerable beings.
The evidence is devastating. Swiss-German and Israeli animal rights organizations have documented the transport of 361 calves and bulls from Lithuania to Israel between July 24 and August. This journey exposed the horrific reality of long-distance animal transport:
- Hungry, dehydrated animals crammed into inadequate spaces
- Bodies covered in feces and wounds from overcrowded conditions
- Trucks designed for pigs forced to carry cattle—a logistical nightmare that prioritizes profit over welfare
- Deaths during transit—some animals never reached their destination
Slovenia is complicit. These animals passed through the Port of Koper, making our nation a link in this chain of suffering.

Why This Matters And Why We Stay Silent
As humans, we continually strive to enhance our living standards, seeking comfort, safety, and dignity in our daily lives. However, we consistently fail to meet these basic needs of the animals under our care. The silence surrounding this issue is striking.
Conference halls are filling with discussions about efficiency and profit margins, yet they fall silent when it comes to the ethical costs of our logistics systems. This selective blindness must come to an end.
When we measure our humanity by how we treat those who cannot advocate for themselves, we discover that our greatest strength lies not in dominance but in compassion.
There's something powerful about capturing the essence of our relationship with animals in a single thought - it gets to the heart of what defines us as human beings.
