Dogs are kept in concrete cages overnight - TQM is Tasmania's largest sheep and calf slaughterhouse. In 2023 investigators installed hidden cameras to capture the handling and killing of thousands of calves and sheep. Our cameras filmed the use of dogs to herd and harass terrified sheep, who were then shoved, thrown and hit with paddles and pipes to force them towards the electric stunner. These dogs were then returned to metal and concrete cages, where they were left overnight, barking and running at the bars in boredom and frustration. Dogs were filmed in cages on nights were it temperatures dropped as low as 4°C. - Captured at Tasmanian Quality Meats Abattoir, Cressy TAS Australia.
