Video investigation: stunning of pigs before slaughter

We are not sure yet of a practical alternative regarding the … [Read more...] about Relieving some suffering of chickens at weekly Polisch market

Announced tour of Vion pig slaughterhouse in Boxtel

November 17, 2010

After requesting to visit their slaughterhouse, Vion in Boxtel agreed to give Eyes on Animals a tour of their plant where 10,000 pigs are slaughtered each day. Vion uses CO2 gas to render the pigs unconscious before being cut and bled-out. Unconsciousness using CO2 gas is not instantaneous. Scientific studies show that it can take up to 60 seconds (Rodríguez, P.; Dalmau, … [Read more...] about Announced tour of Vion pig slaughterhouse in Boxtel
