Visit to Ridammerhoeve goat farm where kids are kept with mothers

Inspection and plans for improvement of a slaughterhouse in Accra, Ghana

October 19, 2019

Inspection and measures taken in slaughterhouse Ghana

The EonA and WACPAW team visited a slaughterhouse in Accra before flying home. The handling of the goats was really rough, they were dragged, hoisted and literally thrown onto a metal bar table where they then had their heads shoved down and got their throats slit. Some would land with their thin legs caught between the bars, causing serious pain. We immediately interfered … [Read more...] about Inspection and plans for improvement of a slaughterhouse in Accra, Ghana

De Waal:”De moeder-kind band is tweehonderd miljoen jaren oud, die is op dezelfde manier geprogrammeerd bij de mens als bij de koe als bij allerlei andere zoogdieren.Dus het zou heel vreemd zijn dat een mens heel overstuur is als een kind weggenomen wordt en de koe níet!” #kalf
