Training of slaughterers at Dako Drom slaughterhouse, Ghana

April 13, 2021

With the help of Eyes on Animals training and stunning material and a donation from Varkens in Nood, our colleagues at WACPAW (West Africa Center for the Protection of Animal Welfare) gave a 2-day training course in how to stun pigs to the slaughtermen of Dako Drom slaughterhouse in Kumasi. Eyes on Animals and WACPAW work together in Ghana to try and put an end to the slaughter of animals while they are fully conscious. We teach the slaughterers working in abattoirs how to render animals at least unconscious first before cutting their throats and tying them up, by using captive bolt pistols to stun them. We then lease out our captive bolt pistols (stunners) to them for free. Slaughterhouses in Ghana, like most slaughterhouses in 3rd and 2nd world countries, do not have stunning equipment and most animals continue to be slaughtered while fully conscious in these places.  There is still a lot of suffering but this is one step in a better direction.

Rencontre. Si nous regardions les autres animaux avec nos yeux d'enfant, nous nous rappellerions quels êtres sensibles et uniques ils sont. ❤️

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

Hoe kan het dat ik zoveel van #dieren houd en ze ook opeet? Waarom eet ik geen paarden- of hondenvlees, maar wel kipfilet of een karbonaadje? Imke de Boer, hoogleraar aan de @WUR, schreef over deze vragen een boek. Ze vertelt erover in de studio @NPORadio1
