Calf dragged through holding pen - 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. Many of these calves were so young and weak that they were unable to stand or walk properly, meaning that they were pushed, shoved, carried and dragged to their deaths. - Captured at Tasmanian Quality Meats Abattoir, Cressy TAS Australia.
