Action not happening fast enough six months on from ‘shocking’ slaughterhouse videos: Greens
The delay between reports of animal abuse in Tasmanian slaughterhouses and tangible government action has been too long, Greens leader Rosalie Woodruff says.
Dr Woodruff called on the government to update the public on what action had been taken in the wake of the release of shocking CCTV footage by animal campaigners.
“It’s been six months now since the farm transparency project activists released disturbing, distressing footage of terrible suffering and harm that’s been caused to animals in slaughterhouses across Tasmania, five separate slaughterhouses, showing systemic practices of cruelty to animals dying in pain, repeated systematic failures to look after animal welfare,” Dr Woodruff said.
