In before anyone claims ‘isolated incident’ or that this is a halal problem. Here’s a timeline of undercover investigations finding abuse it’s not up to date
https://www.eatfair.org/united-kingdom/investigations
Stick a camera in any slaughterhouse and it’ll have more or less the same level of abuse.
The only realistic way to avoid it is to not pay for it in the first place.
“Halal abattoir staff” — So this has a Halal meat processing place which is already a horrific way to slaughter animals
Hell has a special place for people who abuse animals.
Don’t see how abuse in abbatoirs can ever really be prevented. Only a specific type of person would sign up to slaughter animals for money in the first place.
Nice to see a report on this stuff that actually goes as far as to call for criminal charges to be brought against the staff and the owner.
This is what the British people support, all slaughterhouses do things like this, really. See the general public response to anyone or anything promoting veganism, though, and you’ll see that support the torture and murder of animals, we just don’t like to admit that we like it for some reason.
We act all outraged when these stories come to light but god forbid you suggest people stop eating so much meat.
“Sheep were inadequately killed, showing signs of life and suffering for up to four minutes after their throats were cut and when workers started dismembering them, an expert’s report says.”
What the actual fuck?
Weird. I was assured halal slaughter was extremely swift and dignified and any opposition was heckin islamaphobia?
How are no stun abattoirs legal? I thought it was law that animals have to be unconscious before slaughter? Why should religious beliefs and practices be respected if we have to make an exception to the law?
I knew a mate who in his previous life worked at an abattoir. It explained so much about him actually, because he was borderline insane.
Always hilarious when I argue with meat eaters and they say “but we have standards in the UK”………. Yeah, these standards.
Only psychopaths would do this job.
The only way I can think of that fundamentally avoids paying for this kind of abuse is going vegan.
Who’s surprised that people who work in abattoirs are full blown arseholes?
You couldn’t pay me enough money to work in one.
Cctv, 24 hr accessible by anyone on the Internet.
Easy fix.
There’s a lot wrong with this but are abattoirs in residential areas normal?
Prison time. I don’t really care about the connotation and what it says about a country for building more prisons, but this deserves prison time.
Pathetic losers.
It’s horrible we still have non stun slaughter houses
The only decisive action people can take against cruelty in slaughterhouses is to stop eating meat. Even if slaughterhouse workers aren’t brutal to begin with, the job will desensitise them to the point where they become so.
The same thing happened on Craggy Island in the 90s
I genuinely think it takes a special kind of person to be able to read all of that in full , view the images in detail and still continue to eat meat.
A hill I’m willing to die on; everyone here who eats meat is guilty by association for the abuse, torture and mistreatment these animals get, seen here for example.
Everything I read in that article makes the meat not halal. If this is true, not only are they vile animals for doing this, they’re knowingly selling unhalal meat to people. Rot in hell
Prison. Keep these psychopaths away from civilised society.
It’s just so pointless. I can understand carelessness but this takes effort
I used to do a lot of work for Bernard Matthews and the things their staff used to tell me was mad. I thought a lot of it was exaggerated until the turkey baseball made national news.
This makes zero sense from a business perspective: stressing the animals causes raised cortisol levels prior to slaughter, which adversely affects the quality of the meat.
You have to be a bit twisted to cope with a job that involves massacring thousands of animals each year. It is no surprise that this shit goes on.
I worked at one in the UK (Midlands) and caught workers playing football with an animal’s head. The abuse and lack of thought when handling cadavers is prolific.
Stuff like this upsets me so much.
I hope these sadistic cunts get everything they deserve.
I worked in a dairy and I haven’t had milk in years, I’ve also worked in an egg grading place and no longer eat eggs. I still remember the smell of gallons of milk and crates of eggs and the unnatural stenches both turn my stomach now.
Can’t imagine how bad working in a slaughterhouse would be but no doubt would turn me off meat for life too.
It’s a Halal no stun abattoir. I’m not surprised, the whole point of the welfare laws governing secular [for want of better term] abattoirs is to hold staff and animal welfare until the final moment to a high a standard as possible.
There are lots of Halal abattoirs that do stun (most halal chicken is i believe) but IMO I think the law should be 100% of them as I have no sympathy for animal cruelty in the name of your flavour of magic man in sky that you can’t prove.
Anyone who chooses to work in an abattoir is a psychopath.
Every one of them should be on a watch list.
If you’re not vegan you’re paying for this service.
An inconvenient truth: if you buy meat you’re the end consumer of this entire awful process and it’s all for you
I knew a slaughterman, he was a headcase himself but abhorred some of the stuff that went on in there, some of the stories he’d have at the end of the week were nuts.
It’s obviously very unpopular to be vegan these days, but this is literally why people are vegan. This is happening everywhere.
I can only hope that anyone outraged by this looks deeper into the industry. It is absolutely horrific. Eating meat is a choice, and we should all choose not to.
‘But an official food standards inspector who was watching failed to act’
What is the point of these inspectors? Surely this one needs investigating and fired.
ITT vegans shamelessly pretending their answer is the only answer.
Killing and butchering animals all day turns good men into monsters. Industrial level slaughter houses are horrific but necessary. Even if you did ban factory farming plenty of farmers don’t have it in them to kill and butcher there animals. Economically it’s best to do it all in the same place.
It’s fucked that this happens but I don’t see a way you can stop this even if factory farming was banned unless we ban meat entirely or force farmers to kill the animals themselves.
