ABATTOIR CRUELTY....

HORROR & CRUETY at the local abotoir...
...
Last week we took 2 pigs in to bishops castle.. they were 2 we had bred and given to a good friend for xmas... he had brought them on beautifully feeding them on barley and wheat...

As we waited in the small que we watched as the farmers pigs in front of us were kicked & booted severely by the abotoir man, the farmer just stood back and watched whilst this cruel beast of a man booted hell out of these pigs that refused to leave the trailer...

He at 1 point held on to the roof bars in the trailer back &  booted with 2 boots.... he then picked up the back of 1 and threw him out of the trailer... I tried to film it but didnt do good job, mobiles are not that good... Joe and I couldnt believe the beating that was happening we discussed leaving, but they were not our pigs and our friend was in Cyprus so no one was home to feed them, we decided to carry on but under no circumstances was he to touch the pigs.... we had no where else to take them as there are 3 week waiting lists....

So.. we gingerly unloaded our friends precious piggies ...  escorted them in & they ran very willingly, the man spoke not a word, just muttered under his breath, I treated him with contempt, for that was what he was due...

he gave us no direction but the pigs, moved on well , I had no idea which way to go and he told us nothing, he thumped them on there backs with his heal of his hands his attitude stank.... I know in a business theres no time for messing about and they need to move on and not hold up production, but they were moving on and no one was behind us. so I just moved between him and the pigs and spoke gently to them...

1 dared to go in the wrorng directon where upon he kicked her savagely in the face.. I nearly killed the man, I said " Dont you dare kick my pigs!" I was so angered  I was about to kick him my self.... he was so nasty... I hung about for a short while to check they had settled and then completed the paper work, he didnt look me in the eye and muttered inaudiable words... ignorant beast I though.....

I was shaking with anger what a vile 2 legged creature, I stormed into the office to  put in a huge complaint, they looked shocked , they say its not regular practise....

IT IS UNACCEPTABLE>>>> I heard them rip him to shreds... I said if he wants to go an kick animals give him a job in the back and let him kick dead ones...... they told me he was a sad guy that they had kept on from the former employers and managers of the old abotoir and that he was local , and bla bla bla he was a poor old thing... this didnt wash with me he should not be there doing that....

On the yard a man come to me and said it was his first time there and would I recomend them, well you can imagine what I said, he looked quite shocked and said if they hurt his pigs he would kill them, and I think he ment it....

I recieved  call from them later that day,  they have given the guy final written warning and say it will never happen again, they have sent him 4 training .& said he had a bad weekend after being robbed, they phoned me to discuss it seriously & made every attempt to put it right... They did seam genuine I gave them my ideas, that the man that recieves our preshous piggies is actually a very important face for there business... he needs to make us feel we have left them in safe caring hands, and that they would do well to get rid of him and see the opportunity they have for promoting them selves with the individual that would do his job...

I paid £116 to get the meat back &  unsure if they can be trusted ... I told them if I was to use them again, I would take my pigs in & not allow there staff near them &  I would also be there at the end inspecting there handling, they say they are happy to accomodate me.....  I was shocked they actually took money off me after my experience...  I will leave comment 4 u...
