Shocking footage shows terrified sheep being horrifically beaten at a halal abattoir in Warwickshire as cruel staff played wolf howling sounds to them as they died.
An undercover investigation by animal rights activist Joey Carbstrong revealed the disturbing abuse at the non-stun T&S Abattoirs slaughterhouse in Arley.
Workers were caught on secret cameras hitting, kicking and dragging sheep, throwing them into floors and walls and slamming a door on them. Horror footage also shows staff hoisting and moving sheep after having their throats cut, before dismembering them while still conscious.
Staff played wolf sounds as the creatures bled out and one man can be heard mockingly saying to a sheep: “Why you cry, why?” I do wonder if halal slaughter is practice for slaughtering infidels when the time comes.
The Welfare of Animals at the Time of Killing law states workers must wait 20 seconds before moving sheep, but many were being hoisted or even broke free just seconds later. Other workers were seen laughing as they restrained sheep just a few feet away from where the other animals were being slaughtered.
Over 1,000 lambs a week are reported to be killed at the site, which was expanded last year despite objections from residents in the village of Arley.
Joey said: “There can be no justification for the horrific treatment of animals we have filmed at this facility, the suffering and terror these animals have endured is unimaginable. The fact this is a non-stun slaughterhouse was never the point of the investigation, wherever we have undertaken an investigation and no matter the method of killing, what is evident, is that all animals suffer needlessly in slaughterhouses and the only way to end this is through strict laws protecting animals from human exploitation and the large scale adoption of a plant-based diet.”
Note he has to put in the politically correct, woke and vegan arguments to deflect criticism that he is being islamophobic or racist. But as the animal rights lobby has consistently ignored halal slaughter for years, claiming that all slaughter is cruel, that he has gone into a halal slaughterhouse at all is to his credit.
Nuneaton and Arley’s MP raised the issue in Parliament and quizzed why regulatory systems had ‘failed to address’ repeated breaches. The local MP said: “Footage released yesterday (Wednesday, March 5) appears to show 200 horrific hours of repeated animal abuse at an abattoir in my constituency. I have been working with residents and a multitude of agencies to try to ensure safety and compliance since well before my election to this place. . . Will the Leader of the House work with me to establish why it took an activist to highlight those issues while my constituents in Old Arley and those animals continue to suffer, and to find ways of ensuring that there is tighter scrutiny and swifter action, and that businesses are closed when standards are not met?”
It comes after police took action at the site on Monday following concerns raised about ‘anti-social behaviour, traffic, and work conditions’. Following this, Warwickshire Police issued a statement which read: “The visit does not confirm that any criminal activity is occurring or has occurred on this site.” We see no ships . . .
