Dear Ms. Palmer,
I am writing to express my concern regarding the slaughter of animals in Tasmanian slaughterhouses. A recent investigation by animal protection group Farm Transparency Project, revealed the shocking treatment of animals in five Tasmanian slaughterhouses, including two of the largest in the state. Footage showed multiple breaches of state and federal legislation occurring at all facilities, as well as unimaginable suffering, including dozens of week old calves killed while fully conscious. The evidence of suffering and abuse was clear and I believe it calls for immediate action. 
In light of this recent footage, and the subsequent formal investigations which have been opened against all five slaughterhouses investigated, I am writing to see if you are willing to call for a Tasmanian parliamentary inquiry into the systemic failures of slaughterhouse regulators, an independent review of Tasmanian slaughter methods and mandatory CCTV at Tasmanian slaughterhouses, which is independently accessible and monitored. While the slaughter of animals will always involved suffering and terror, the current lack of accountability and transparency means that consumers are being misled, misinformed and manipulated by industry marketing, rather than having the opportunity to make informed choices. 
Like most Australians, I consider myself an animal lover and the thought of the terrifying final moments of these intelligent animals fills me with horror. I am hoping that, in your capacity as Tasmanian Premier and Minister for Primary Industries and Water, you will stand up for the wellbeing of animals and call for urgent action. 
I am asking you to please take a stand against animal abuse and suffering and call for a state inquiry and immediate regulatory changes. . 
I look forward to your response.
