Pig shackle line and scalding tank - Pigs are hung upside down on a shackle line before being lowered onto a table and tipped into a tank of scalding water which softens their skin and hair before they are dismembered. Hidden cameras captured pigs still moving and gasping moments before they entered the scalding tank. Workers were also captured on camera using the suspended bodies of sheep as a punching bag and dancing with their body parts. - Captured at Gathercole's Wangaratta Abattoir, Wangaratta VIC Australia.
