Slaughtermen sentenced after secret cameras expose suffering in halal abattoir

Excerpt:

Three slaughtermen have admitted a string of animal welfare offences after being exposed by secret cameras.

The offences took place in February and March 2016 at an abattoir called Simply Halal at Moor Farm, near Banham.

Undercover footage taken by Hillside Animal Sanctuary shows terrified sheep wriggling free from the restrainer before being recaptured and slaughtered. One dead sheep is lying on the blood-soaked floor.

Another is killed while still on the floor rather than being put in the restrainer.

The animals also jump from their restraining equipment in contravention of animal welfare rules.
