Slaughter of exported animals in the Middle East


And they die like this…

Exported animals are routinely slaughtered in a violent and non-halal manner. Sheep's legs are bound tightly with nylon rope and their heads are lined up over a drain to have their throats cut in full view of each other while fully conscious. Investigators have also witnessed appalling routine handling and slaughter of cattle. Four or five slaughter workers tackle an animal until it falls heavily to the ground. The workers use the animals' eye sockets to manipulate the head into position for the throat to be cut whilst it is fully conscious. Their deaths are traumatic, painful and slow.
