The film is extremely upsetting

I watched it and wished I hadn't. I'm absolutely in bits now but I've posted the link so you have the choice to watch if you wish.


Please sign the petition for CCTV to be installed in all UK slaughter houses. These horrific cases of cruelty and abuse occur far too often :(

  • I saw this on sky news. I was so upset by it, I just could not stop thinking about it, the suffering they went through is just overwhelming. This story was tied in some-what with the Tesco burger fiasco and I may sound a band wagon jumper but since all of this but mainly because of those poor, poor horses and wondering what really happens to the expected animals that are killed to supply our food chain; I am choosing to not eat meat any more. It wont do me no harm!

    I saw the video on the Daily Mail website, it's just awful so I won't be watching it again.

    Watching things like this from slaughter houses are part of the reason I went vegetarian.

    I've signed the petition.

    I only learnt about it today and know exactly what you mean about not being able to stop thinking about the suffering they went through :(

    Why was only the salughterman sacked. The companies health inspectors should have been sacked as well, as they should have known what was going on, its there jobs.

    I won't watch the video, because it will probably haunt me for the rest of my life, but the petition is signed.
