WACPAW and EonA team inspected slaughter conditions at another pig farm in Ghana (Doweba). This farm slaughters 60 pigs per week at their own slaughter-slab.
Warning- Some of these images are hard to look at, but they show the reality of what we are up against — and why this work matters.
In most countries, pigs are still slaughtered while fully conscious, without good stunning. They are clubbed repeatedly on the head. The suffering is immense. That is why our teams confront these horrors, so we can change things on the ground for pigs.
Our team trained the workers in calmer pre-slaughter handling and in the correct use of a captive-bolt stunning, rendering pigs unconscious before slaughter immediately and painlessly. We have given the workers here their own captive bolt stunner now and thousands of cartidges. We will also come back soon to do follow-up checks. The relief and willingness to change we saw there was genuine.
Deep gratitude to Sorf and the team members, who even through Christmas continued these trainings to bring mercy to pigs that desperately need it.
