E.T Chicken Processors, Llandilo NSW (campaign video)

At E.T Chicken Processing hundreds of chickens are killed each week in a run-down slaughterhouse surrounded by disused chicken sheds. In November 2024, a team of investigators installed hidden cameras to document this slaughter.

The slaughterhouse kills both 5-7 week old ‘broiler’ chickens, bred for meat, and 18 month old layer hens, whose egg production has begun to slow.
The footage shows crates of already dead chickens being thrown into the bin, and birds being roughly handled by workers. Chickens will frantically flap while being sent into the kill room, with many managing to escape before being recaptured by workers.

Some chickens were shown to remain conscious after stunning, meaning that they are still conscious when their throats are slit.

Just like all animals, these chickens fight for their lives. They do not want to die.

Their lives are the cost of chicken meat and eggs.
