Calf slipping in race - A calf slips on the floor of the race, which is covered in water, urine and faeces. Workers use paddles to force sheep and calves through the race and into the stunner. In 2023 investigators installed hidden cameras to capture the handling and killing of thousands of calves and sheep. Over the course of a month, we installed cameras at TQM slaughterhouse, capturing the brutal treatment and slaughter of thousands of sheep and week-old calves, many who were pushed, thrown, beaten and even killed while fully conscious. Workers were seen kicking, shoving, throwing and beating calves in the race, many of whom were to small or weak to walk by themselves. - Captured at Tasmanian Quality Meats Abattoir, Cressy TAS Australia.
