Animal Aid has released undercover footage showing extreme acts of
cruelty at Elmkirk (Cheale Meats) Ltd, an Essex slaughterhouse that claims
to uphold high standards of animal welfare. The video shows staff punching
pigs, burning them with cigarettes, hit in the face with bats, incorrectly
stunned and dragged by their ears to slaughter. Astonishingly, the
Department for the Environment and Rural Affairs (Defra) has announced it
will not prosecute Cheale Meats because activists trespassed to obtain the
footage.
Sadly, unjustly and surprisingly God’s farmed animals are offered little or
no protection from unimaginable abuse at the hands of humanity. Although
these acts of cruelty make our hearts feel heavy, our will to end their
exploitation is stronger. Let’s keep spreading the message of compassion,
mercy and love!
