• New footage captured at a Sydney poultry slaughterhouse shows chickens and ducks being killed while fully conscious and able to feel pain.
• The video showed workers placing ducks on the shackle line after the electrified stun bath, then slitting their throats. Other birds lifted their heads out of the bath, avoiding the water and remaining conscious.
• The footage was published by Farm Transparency Project and was captured in November 2024 when hidden cameras were installed inside two NSW poultry slaughterhouses. 

Footage captured at Tinder Creek duck slaughterhouse in the western Sydney suburb of Tennyson shows chickens and ducks having their throats slit while fully conscious. Video released by animal protection organisation Farm Transparency Project shows workers at the slaughterhouse deliberately placing ducks on the shackle line at a point after the electrified stun bath, which is used to paralyse birds before their throats are slit. Ducks are seen flapping their wings and lifting their heads after their throats have been slit. 

Other chickens and ducks are seen to lift their heads, avoiding the electrified water and emerging from the stunning bath fully conscious. They continue to struggle as they are moved along the shackle line and into the further processing area where their feathers and organs are removed. One duck in the footage falls into the stun bath and can be seen trying to lift their head free of the water for over a minute before finally drowning.

Footage taken by activists after hours in the kill room shows blood and feathers covering the floor, next to butchered bodies of chickens and ducks waiting to be picked up and taken to be sold at butcher shops. 

The footage has been published by Farm Transparency Project alongside more covert video taken at another western Sydney poultry slaughterhouse, E.T Chicken Processors in Llandilo. The two are the 27th and 28th slaughterhouses where hidden camera footage has been released by Farm Transparency Project since March 2023.
