Animal Aid has released undercover footage showing extreme acts of
cruelty at Elmkirk (Cheale Meats) Ltd, an Essex slaughterhouse that
claims to uphold high standards of animal welfare. The video shows staff
punching pigs, burning them with cigarettes, hit in the face with bats,
incorrectly stunned and dragged by their ears to slaughter.
Astonishingly, the Department for the Environment and Rural Affairs
(Defra) has announced it will not prosecute Cheale Meats because
activists trespassed to obtain the footage. To learn more please visit

Sadly, unjustly and surprisingly God’s farmed animals are offered
little or no protection from unimaginable abuse at the hands of
humanity. Although these acts of cruelty make our hearts feel heavy, our
will to end their exploitation is stronger. Let’s keep spreading the
message of compassion, mercy and love!
