Follow-up visit to slaughterhouse in Gönen, Turkey

March 31, 2022

Disappointing news. The slaughterhouse in Gönen that we leased a stunner to, and taught the workers how to use last October, sadly no longer use it. This morning they returned the captive bolt stunner to us! All the workers were in favour of rendering the animals unconscious before cutting their throats, and felt better doing so, but their customers are worried that they won’t be able to sell the meat. They fear rendering the animals unconscious first will not be seen as Halal. It is hard to break this myth… here is footage showing cattle hoisted and cut while fully sentient at this slaughterhouses in Gönen.

🥵 🐓 Vandaag en gisteren was het bloedheet.
Maar het transport van kippen ging gewoon door.
Ons team ging daarom bij 2 grote Nederlandse pluimveeslachterijen langs om te zien welke maatregelen zij hadden getroffen tegen hittestress. #kip #veetransport #slacht #hittestress
