Summary - dairy calf slaughter

A summary compilation of hidden camera footage showing the slaughter of dairy calves at the Tasmanian Quality Meats slaughterhouse. These calves are discarded by the dairy industry so that the milk intended for them can be sold for human consumption.

Across August and September 2023, investigators from Farm Transparency Project 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.

Tasmanian Quality Meats is Tasmania's largest sheep and calf slaughterhouse, killing thousands of animals every week.
