Cedar Meats
In June 2024, investigators from Farm Transparency Project installed hidden cameras at Cedar Meats, capturing the handling and slaughter of thousands of animals, including newborn lambs and kids born in the holding pens of the slaughterhouse. The footage shows workers writing and drawing on the bodies of sheep and goats with blood, animals appearing to have their throats slit while fully conscious, goats and sheep struggling while soaked in the blood of others and even one mother goat giving birth in the stunning restraint, seconds before her throat is slit.
Our investigation revealed such an exhaustive volume of abuse, illegal and sickening activity that we couldn't put it in just one video.
Over the month of September 2024, we will publish four videos showing the slaughter of each species killed at Cedar Meats. As usual, on releasing each video, we will publish additional footage on our website showing standard practice at the facility and how animals are treated when they believe that no one is watching.
Slaughterhouse #19 is one of our biggest yet. The heartbreaking suffering experienced by the animals whose deaths we captured will haunt us forever. But we are determined to continue to fight in their name.
Stay tuned for the first part of our exposé where we release footage of the brutal slaughter of days-old bobby calves, five years after footage of this practice was previously captured at Cedar Meats by Animal Liberation.
