Sheep in stunning restraint - 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. 

An electric stunner is used to paralyse sheep before their throats are slit. Our cameras captured sheep being violently stabbed with the electric stunner up to eight times before they were tipped into the kill room. Sheep were also captured escaping into the kill room and having their throats slit while fully conscious, or displaying signs of consciousness after their throats had been slit. - Captured at Tasmanian Quality Meats Abattoir, Cressy TAS Australia.
