Positive News from Turkey

March 21, 2021

The slaughterhouse in Istanbul where we taught its workers a few months ago how to use a stunner to at least render the animals unconscious before cutting their throats updated Asalet from Eyes on Animals again today via video call.

Less noise in restraining box Vitelco calf slaughterhouse

April 9, 2018
