Animal Abuse-A picture paints one word.....Demons!

The Journey To Slaughter

Worker Kicking A Cow On Way To Slaughter
                           
Finally, the lorry stops. You hope you will be given a drink, but instead you and your friends are forced in to a building. The unfamiliar and disturbing sights and smells terrify you and your friends.
You are all trapped. You are forced forward by someone poking you with a stick that gives you horrible electric shocks. You panic as you see a person hold a bolt gun to your friends head. In horror you see you friend fall.
Now it is your turn. You have never felt such terror. The stun gun fires a bolt into your head, causing you extreme agony... but you are still conscious. The workers don't care as they hoist you upside down for your throat to be cut...

Common Slaughter House Abuse
                          
It could be said that the ones that are stunned effectively are the lucky ones in the slaughter house, considering around 40% are not and feel every moment of the agonising torture.
Live Export conditions are horrific. As in all areas of farming and the meat industry, animals are seen as commodities, or money, rather than living, breathing fellow animals.
The abuse continues every day. Even in Countries such as the USA and the UK, Companies break laws all the time with regards to how animals should be treated.

Animals slaughtered to provide Halal meat is also done without stunning. Muslims believe that as long as the knife is sharp and the slaughter can be done in one go, it is the kindest way and acceptable. I wonder if they would think the same if they themselves were faced with this death?
