Flanders Meat Group slaughterhouse, Zele, BE

March 29, 2018

Flanders Meat Group slaughterhouseEyes on Animals was invited by the manager of this slaughterhouse to give our opinion about the conditions inside and what we think could be further improved on. Since early 2017 the cattle are all pre-stunned, also for Halal as the local Imams approve it. This is a terrific improvement and we congratulate the Imams and the manager for listening and learning from each other.
There were some problems that need to be solved regarding slippery floors, the high noise levels (from the hissing pneumatics and the metal gates) and the restraint box needs to be adjusted, but the manager and technician have agreed to get started on the improvements asap. We will stay in touch with them and be sure that the changes are put into practice as soon as possible.

Het wordt warm de komende dagen. Zie je in een weiland een dier dat last heeft van de warmte? Meld dit bij de veehouder. Als dat niet lukt, meld het dan bij de NVWA. Maak foto’s en filmpjes, zo kunnen onze inspecteurs de meldingen snel oppakken.Meer info? http://nvwa.nl/hittestress

The 🇪🇺 is still the largest exporter and transporter of live animals on the planet, causing much avoidable suffering and #AnimalWelfare tragedy.

We have a unique opportunity to act and #BanLiveExport ✊
