Earlier in the year we wrote about a US campaign to secure CCTV in slaughterhouses. We are really pleased to see Animal Aid working on this very important issue in the UK, and heres your chance to get involved. Of course we dont want to see any slaughterhouses anywhere in the world, but this is a much-needed first step: Animal Aid investigated nine randomly chosen UK slaughterhouses and found breaches of welfare laws in eight. Animals were shown being kicked, slapped, stamped on, beaten, punched, burned with cigarettes, and picked up by their fleeces and ears and thrown into pens. It showed inadequate, botched and multiple stunning, and the sadistic use of stunning equipment to ‘punish’ animals. Neither the government-appointed on-site vets nor the slaughterhouse operators detected a single illegal act that was filmed. Properly monitored CCTV would deter abuse, encourage best practice, help with staff training, and provide evidence for prosecutions. Take a moment to sign and share this petition:
