That happens in the EU as well. Inspectors may enter farms—pig farms, poultry farms, broilers—to see whether the welfare requirements are indeed being met. Yes, this happens in the EU too. Our authorities ought to do so. They are expected to take care of these controls.
Animal welfare is a very important and sensitive issue in the EU. It gets a lot of attention from NGOs, politicians, and consumers in general. Any issue of animal welfare immediately gets a lot of attention, with articles in the media, etc. Those things are wrongdoings that happen now and then, but have a lot of consequences, so animal welfare is a really important aspect of animal husbandry in the EU.
