Bobby calf in slaughterhouse holding pens

This photo was taken the night before this calf was killed at TQM slaughterhouse. They would have been only a week-old.

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. 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. We witnessed the brutal slaughter of week-old bobby calves, who we met and spent time with in the holding pens the night before they were killed.
