Between 2009 and 2011, Animal Aid secretly investigated and filmed inside 9 randomly chosen slaughterhouses in the UK, and shockingly 8 of these were found to be in violation of animal welfare laws, subjecting the animals to suffering and cruelty. The films showed animals being deliberately beaten, kicked, slapped, burned, thrown into pens, picked up by fleeces and ears, and stamped on. Animals were recorded being improperly stunned, meaning they were still conscious as they went to the knife.
Even the 'high welfare' establishments, such as those approved by Freedom Foods or The Soil Association, were guilty of breaking animal welfare laws, and were found to be no better than standard abattoirs.
