Slaughterhouse Henk Worst shows no interest in a visit from Eyes on Animals

March 7, 2022

Early this year we approached slaughterhouse Henk Worst with the request to visit their operation. Despite several attempts (via email and phone), we have not received a reaction from them to date. Our conclusion, unfortunately, is that they are not open to our visit and advice.  

Eyes on Animals is contacted on a regular basis by small scale, animal friendly pig farmers who want to know where to best have their pigs slaughtered. Small slaughterhouses , where there is more time for the animals and CO2 stunning is not standard practice have our preference. To offer good advice to these farmers however, we first want to visit the slaughterhouses and see if improvements are necessary. We therefore started contacting the smaller slaughterhouses. We were already able to visit several slaughterhouses, such as Feenstra in Drachten, Willems in Druten and Agri+4 in Lichtenvoorde. They were open to our visit and advice. We sincerely hope that Henk Worst will eventually follow their lead and take on a more transparent attitude towards us.

Dear friends,

I first discovered the bad side of factory-farming and industrial slaughter when I was a young girl of twelve.
When I visited a livestock market I saw a pile of sick animals left for dead behind the building. At a huge industrial poultry slaughterhouse, I saw dozens of live chickens walking around the bloody floor…

De intensieve veehouderij draagt bij aan slechtere luchtkwaliteit en een toename van luchtwegaandoeningen bij kinderen en ouderen. Je kunt iedere dag voor een gezondere keuze gaan. Veel minder vlees en zuivel en veel meer groente en fruit en granen. https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2023/mar/24/uk-farming-causes-over-quarter-cities-particle-pollution-study?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other

Koeienmoeders die verdriet hebben om hun verdwenen kinderen, varkens die de werking van een spiegel begrijpen, paarden die de gezichten van soortgenoten en mensen prima herkennen, kippenkuikens die kunnen rekenen, schapen die allerlei vormen van seksualiteit kennen, 1/3

geiten die door hebben wat een ander kan zien. De zogenaamde "boerderijdieren" zijn veel slimmer en hebben een veel rijker gevoelsleven dan de meeste mensen denken. Tijdens deze cursus die ik op zaterdagen 22 en 29 april in Amsterdam organiseer krijg je een boeiend overzicht 2/3
