Eyes on Animals and WACPAW were busy this afternoon teaching butchers and agricultural students at Cape Coast university slaughterhouse how to maintain and clean the captive bolts which we gave them last year. Since last years’ training, all animals at the university abattoir are stunned first.
We also assisted them in developing humane restraint techniques for rabbits and with stunning all animals being slaughtered today. We know these photos still are not happy photos but we promise you, getting rid of all the rough handling, blunt knives and the cutting of throats of conscious animals is at least reducing the suffering and spreading empathy.
