English slaughterhouses exposed: JV Richards from Animal Aid on Vimeo.
English slaughterhouses exposed. The public is encouraged to believe that killing animals for their meat is essentially a pain- and stress-free business – so called ‘humane slaughter’. Film shot secretly in three slaughterhouses between January and June 2009 by Animal Aid, exposes ‘humane slaughter’ as a sham. The footage is shocking and often deeply disturbing.

National campaigning group Animal Aid has today released footage taken secretly at three randomly chosen abattoirs, which offers an unprecedented close-up of the true inner workings of typical British slaughterhouses that kill pigs, sheep and cattle. The film convincingly disposes of the myth of stress- and pain-free ‘humane slaughter’. The 40 hours of footage shows more than 1,500 animals being stunned and more than 1,000 being killed. Animal Aid anticipates the revelations will provoke a plain-speaking debate involving consumers, politicians, regulators and the industry.
