Teaching stunning at cattle abattoir near Bursa, Turkey

May 30, 2023

Yesterday Eyes on Animals worked at a slaughterhouse near Bursa (Turkey) to show the difference between traditional slaughter (without pre-stunning) and more humane slaughter (with a stunner). They were slaughtering cattle from the Czech Republic. We showed them how the use of a stunner renders the cattle at least unconscious before they are hoisted by a  chain around … [Read more...] about Teaching stunning at cattle abattoir near Bursa, Turkey

Spreading awareness in slaughterhouses in Bursa, Turkey

May 29, 2023

The Eyes on Animals team in Turkey spent the whole day today visiting slaughterhouses in Bursa. We explained to the managers what a captive bolt stunner is and how it works to render animals unconscious (and thus insensitive) before slaughter. They are in favour of stunning, but none dare to be the first to start stunning the animals as stunning is still, wrongly, seen as … [Read more...] about Spreading awareness in slaughterhouses in Bursa, Turkey

Training the use of stunners at cattle slaughterhouse near Agri, Turkey

November 9, 2022

This morning we gave a practical training course to another slaughterhouse in eastern Turkey, not far from the city of Agri. Here, like almost all other cattle and sheep slaughterhouses all over the country, animals were being hoisted by one leg and having their throats cut all while fully conscious and thus fully capable of feeling pain and fear. We showed them how a … [Read more...] about Training the use of stunners at cattle slaughterhouse near Agri, Turkey

Follow-up inspection cattle slaughterhouse near Kars, Turkey

November 7, 2022

This morning we conducted a follow-up inspection at a cattle slaughterhouse near Kars in Eastern Turkey. Eyes on Animals had shown the people of this plant what a captive bolt stunner was a few months ago and taught them how to use it properly to render animals unconscious prior to slaughter so that they were insensitive to the pain. Turkey, being an Islamic country, has … [Read more...] about Follow-up inspection cattle slaughterhouse near Kars, Turkey

Disappointing meetings with Ministry of Agriculture, Halal Acreditation Agency and Halal Standards inTurkey

April 4, 2022

Today was a very disappointing day in Turkey and showed us again how humans take advantage of every opportunity to make money, at the cost of animal welfare. Asalet went to 3 organizations in Ankara (the Ministry of Agriculture, the Halal Accreditation Agency and TSE-Halal standards) to show them the way animals are tortured in Turkish slaughterhouses, where they are … [Read more...] about Disappointing meetings with Ministry of Agriculture, Halal Acreditation Agency and Halal Standards inTurkey

Our most recent newsletter

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…
