ABATTOIR CRUELTY

HORROR & CRUELTY AT THE LOCAL ABATTOIR....






.

ABATTOIR HORROR. the other week we took 2 pigs in to bishops castle.. DAYS DROVE.. we watched as the farmers pigs in front of us were kicked & booted severely by the ab man, 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 thew him out of the trailer... I tried to film it but didn't do good job, so.. we gingerly unloaded our friends precious piggies that we had given him 4 xmas...  escorted them in & they ran very willingly, 1 dared to go in the wrorng directon where upon he kicked her in the face.. I nearly killed the man, put in huge complaint, they say its not regular practice.... 


.
IT IS UNACCEPTABLE>>>> 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... 
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 accommodate me..... i will leave comment 4 u..
