‘Animals are being abused in slaughterhouses with CCTV cameras but no action is taken’

  1. It’s because they’re not your typical pet animal.

    If this was being done to dogs you know there’d be outrage from the vast majority of people, especially meat eaters.

    The hypocrisy just because they’re livestock is ridiculous.

  2. People probably think it’s okay because they’re going to die anyway; as if you’d want to be tortured and subjected to inhumane conditions before you died.

  3. A mate once invited his friend who worked in a slaughterhouse to a MTB bike trip. This guy was fucking weird, after 30s from meeting him I knew he wouldn’t fit into the group.

    He kept talking about his job, how he dealt with the animals and what he’d do if he was having a bad day. It was like he was bragging, it made me feel physically sick. I asked him to stop, he continued.

    Well, I lost my shit at him after 1hr, I couldn’t take it anymore.

    He ignored me and continued, but the whole group at this point was getting pissed off.

    I told him to film a few of us hitting a big jump, we all buggered off and left him.

    No regrets at all.

  4. Who would have thought, people that kill animals have no shame and make it as horrific as possible.

    The idea of humane slaughter is total bollcks. A marketing method designed to make a disgusting industry palatable. The Laughing Cow, my arse.

  5. I’ll continue to be a vegan until this industry sorts itself out.

    Although the likelihood is that lab grown meat will get there first and the plant based stuff gets better every year.

    Taste isn’t a good enough reason.

  6. If people really looked into how bad the animal farming industry was, they’d at the very least be a lot more sympathetic to the vegan cause.

  7. Shocking. Animals are gods creations. We should not eat them. They need love and affection like humans.

  8. “Country where people buy meat from a van in a Wickes car park has sub-optimal conditions for said animals”

    SHOCK

  9. I decided one day not to eat meat as I couldn’t live with the way they are treated. Haven’t eaten meat since.

    People who say they have ‘tried’ but couldn’t do it is bollocks, they just can’t admit they don’t care enough and have no willpower

  10. Just go vegan. There’s a cost of living crisis anyway, so you’ll also save yourself some money while saving animals from this shit.

  11. If slaughterhouses had glass walls we’d all be vegetarian – Paul mccartneys very true words. I will never eat meat as I cannot bare the thought of the pain and fear they have to bare.

  12. Consider that we have pretty much the most stringent animal rights laws in the world, and consider how bad it must be in other places.

  13. You’re murdering another species for the sake of a 10 minute meal. I used to eat meat heck I used to mock and take the piss too but when you really realise you’re taking the life of another being who cannot speak for themselves in the most awful way right from their birth to their death that’s when it changes things, for me anyway. Sure Tigers, Lions kill for their food, that’s ok, that is hunting and killing job done, the way humans do things is incomprehensible. I cannot fathom people who hate vegans, how on earth can you hate people who give a damn about another beings life?

  14. When I hear the term abused, the first form of abuse iItend to think of is sexual abuse or people usually specify the type to distinguish it. Please tell me thats not the case here, or Im turning vegan. I know I could just read the article but that would take effort.

  15. In truth I can’t bring myself to read that article. We are all apart of this horrible system. Exploiting and destroying it seems is all we can do. Be it each other or animals. It’s a shit world and a shit animal reached the peak of the mountain, bring on the shitty aliens.

  16. Look, ngl, murdering an animal while it’s still conscious, without a
    general anaesthetic is abusive however you try and spin it. There’s no ways for abattoirs to operate without immense suffering and total disregard for the wellbeing of animals. Plain and simple.
