If you are easily very upset then probably best not to read, it's taken from the Daily Mail website so in plenty of new papers no doubt, I didn't click on the video, too upsetting for me to watch.

Why? why oh why oh why do they need to do such things, it's a crying shame that we have to have CCTV and under cover filming everywhere these days in this country because the human kind simply can not be trusted to treat a harmless animal with a bit of respect and dignity before it's life is ended for our own pleasure.

Thats it, no more pork for me. The company has been named as Cheale Meats in Brentwood. Just so we know who to avoid. I wonder if anyone will press for a presecution, I would certainly support it. Truly appalling.

Indeed it's enough to stop me from eating pork, bacon again that's for sure, I'm not suggesting all pig abbottoirs and the workers are like this, not at all, but it doesn't exactly do other companies any favours does it, if I was in a trade like this (animal slaughter, pigs in this case) and found out this was happening at another abbottoir I'd be fuming, I'd be embarassed, I'd be worried about the effects it would have on my business.

CCTV is a must when it comes to the slaughter of animals, why can't DEFA put this into place, then there would be no need for under cover filming and there would be much tighter control over animal welfare.

Totally dreadful way to treat animals. Those people should be ashamed of themselves but I doubt they are. I'm not against animal slaughter as I love eating meat but believe it should be humane, which means quick and with the least amount of pain possible not letting animals bleed to death. I am apalled and ashamed that we can call ourselves a nation of animal lovers.
 
So you think workers in a slaughterhouse will be animal lovers? Get real. My conscience is clear,I don`t eat meat,except possibly wild shot ; having been around these places getting meat for my dogs it is perfectly obvious these men are completely numbed to any decent treatment of animals.To them it is just a job,to be done as quickly as possible by whatever means.
 
not all abbatoirs are like this.

If you are concerned buy you meat from a good butcher who should know everything about the pork, from where it lived, what it ate and where it died.
 
They should be contacted to say their behaviour is disgusting and boycot any brands they supply for.

The only way to hit people like this is in their pocket.

I have just seen in soapbox that the company were on tv this morning. They will be going to the police, not to prosecute the evil torturing gits who were killing the pigs but to find who put the secret camera up. What arrsouls.

I think it would be very wrong to assume that just because you work in a slaughter house you are not an animal lover, that is like saying that all meat eaters are not animal lovers which is simply not true.

It’s not a pleasant job but someone has to do it, it needs to be done as in a humane and proffessional way and everyone should take pride in their work no matter what is it they have to do, for person who is doing that day in and day out (correctly) to earn money for their family, then I take my hat off to them.

Indeed, I do wonder about this country at times, exactly which side of the law is the law on!

where is the email address

I’ve just been looking, if you use the power of goole, I’ve found where you can email them but it's through another website rather than giving you the companies own email address but if someone has found the email address I’d very much like to put questions across to them.

I think it's also important to remember that before people start getting angry with the company, it's the workers, it's not right to assume it's the people that own the company, however they too have a duty to protect their workers even if their hands are tied which is why there is a this grey area looming over undercover filming and the legal action that can be taken.

We need to push in a positive and pleasant way for better welfare control.
 
There was footage of this on the Sky news at lunchtime .... words fail me how anyone can inflict that type of cruelty onto an animal.

One wonders what must go through their minds - they must be completely sick.

It has disappeared off the face of the earth. I wonder why!

We need to know which retail outlets use this company and lobby/boycott them. Makes a real mockery of the Kill it, Cook it, Eat it 'sanitised' version of the slaughtering process.

I think people who don't care should be made to watch the footage. I do care and eat very little, if not no meat at all. I can't square my conscience unless I'm absolutely sure the death was humane.
 
Couldnt bring myself to watch the video, but i have seen similar before it disgusts me. These poor poor animals, i only hope something gets done about this.
 
I think the best way to act against this company is email the leading supermarkets, asking if the source meat from this slaughterhouse. If they do, threats to not buy their meat may make them look at their supply chain.

However.....and I may be wrong, but most big supermarkets have their own slaughter houses for raw meat products. Its possible that these types of slaughter houses may supply local butchers, and processed meat manufacturers. This makes boycotting individual products very difficult.
 
That is animal cruelty. Without a doubt. So how with the new animal cruelty laws can they escape prosecution? Despicable. We raise our own lamb and pork. They lead happy lives and are personally taken to a local abattoir for a quick and efficient dispatch. If the people we pay EVER treated our stock like this I would be the first to expose them in this way - Chealmeats need closing down pending investigation - it's the only way to stop their appalling practises - hit them in the pocket!
 
I'm not going to watch the video the descriptions are enough for me. Wonder if people will get as mad about this as they did about the elephant being hit in the zoo? I have seen similar videos before back when i was at school - men torturing the pigs essentially with the electric shock thing. It's disgusting and I think more people should be made aware of where their food may have come from. I have been vegetarian since I was about 7 (I just didn't like meat). I think i would certainly change to be veggie now though knowing what i know about the way animals are slaughtered. even worse when you think how intelligent pigs are anyway. God, I would like to do the same to those guys, after all, pigs are supposed to be (and probably are) almost as intelligent as humans aren't they?!

I think lions and the like kill their prey in a more 'humane' way than we do. Ironic.

Absolutely barbaric. Strange that the website of the company concerned has been closed down. Everyone slates Animal Aid for their racing opposition, but in this case, I think it's good that they have revealed what has happened......DEFRA really are a shower of ****3 not acting on this evidence. The abbatoir should be closed down with immediate effect.
 
So if my understanding is correct the agency has seen to it that both slaughterman have been dismissed but Defra will not prosecute because the evidence is via a third party.wtf:eek:

Hmm yes, quite - don't get me started on that one. I still don't get how we allow that practice in this country!

I have posted this link on my facebook as I think more people should see and read what has gone on and does go on (after all it won't be an isolated case). I hadn't seen anything about this until seeing this thread.
 
It's all to do with been secretly filmed, if you film someone without consent or have a notice warning that you are being filmed, there is a way round it, someone in our village caught some people breaking into their car, presented it to the police, even had finger prints but they got away with it.
