My god I feel sick , I have just watched the slaughter of horses in a licenced British slaughter house on Sky news. 3 animals in a slaughter pen, regaining conciousness while being strung up and the senseless beating.
How can this happen in this country?

Time there was CCTV in all slaughter houses. But where was the vet that's supposed to be on duty?

I truly hope individuals get prosecuted there - its not good enough just to shut them down.  Disgusting.

There is a petition currently doing the rounds on fb, trying to get cctv back into slaughterhouses. Here is the link.

I have just 'made' myself watch it and it is truely sickening that in this day and age we can treat noble animals with a complete disregard to their suffering and pain.
If we took livestock to the abattior in that state they would probably reject them and yet these bedraggled, thin and terrified animals meat is destined for the European market - I wonder how many people ordering a horse steak would eat it after watching the film?
I don't have a problem with horses being eaten as long as they are killed with as little stress as possible - just like any other animal
