Protestors stop work at the Benalla abattoir | Benalla Ensign
The group is calling for the industry to stop using gas chambers to stun pigs before slaughter, calling the practice absolutely horrific.
Chris Delforce is executive director of the Farm Transparency Project, which organised the protest.
He was arrested inside the facility early Thursday and has since been released on bail with the condition he does not go within 200m of the Benalla abattoir.
The Ensign spoke to him after his release, about 500m away from the facility.
“At about midnight 30 of us entered the Benalla slaughterhouse and chained ourselves onto the equipment,” Mr Delforce said.
