Excerpt:
An animal sanctuary which exposed abuse at a halal slaughterhouse in south Norfolk said today it was shocked at the “lenient” sentences given to the men behind the abuse.
Roger Carr who ran the Simply Halal abattoir at Moor Farm in Banham was fined £400 at Norwich Magistrates Court on Tuesday for two animal welfare offences.
Slaughterman Akhtar Mahmood was fined £600 for 12 offences, while William Lanham, who worked at the abattoir, was also fined £600 after admitting ten offences.
The men were sentenced after Hillside Animal Sanctuary put hidden cameras in the building following a tip-off.
