Carey Bros Abattoir

Coinciding with the release of the footage on 8 April 2019, a large protest was held at the Carey Bros slaughterhouse near Warwick, QLD.

Brad King of Farm Animal Rescue, speaking from outside: “After seeing this footage it’s absolutely clear to me that fear and suffering are inherent to slaughterhouses… These animals are squirming in terror as they watch what they’re next in line for. There are numerous occasions where they’re not stunned properly, but even when they are, the footage unequivocally demonstrates that it’s impossible to ‘humanely’ kill an animal who desperately doesn’t want to die.”

Cruelty and abuse are inherent to the animal slaughter industry, including meat, dairy, eggs, fur, wool and leather. Much of this cruelty is legal, due to exemptions in animal welfare legislation that specifically permit acts of cruelty towards farmed animals, that would be illegal if performed on dogs or cats.

The only way to truly stop cruelty to farmed animals is to stop eating them. Take the pledge today to leave animals off your plate and live vegan - be part of a growing movement towards a kinder, more sustainable world, and take a stand against industries that harm and exploit animals.

As a small charity entirely reliant on private donations, we need your help to continue creating campaigns like this and to reach more of the people who need to see them.
