Horror in England's Slaughterhouses

HORROR IN ENGLAND'S SLAUGHTERHOUSES WHICH IS ORGANIZED AND SUPPORTED BY THE DEFRA - Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs. ( GREAT BRITAIN) IT‘S BARBAROUS AND INHUMANE!!!PLEASE READ,WATCH AND CONTACT THE DEFRA!!! 

GABRIELE MEURER MRCVS, a former official veterinary surgeon in UK abattoirs, says,
“WHAT IS HAPPENING RIGHT NOW IN BRITAIN SLAUGHTERHOUSES IS GUITE SIMPLY A SCANDAL !!! SOMETIMES WHEN THESE CREATURES ARE HANGING ON THE LINE BLEEDING TO DEATH, YOU CAN SEE THE UNBORN CALVES KICKING INSIDE THEIR MOTHERS' WOMBS. I, AS A VET,I AM SUPPOSED TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT THIS . UNBORN CALVES DO NOT EXIST ACCORDING TO THE REGULATIONS. I JUST HAD TO WATCH ,DO NOTHING AND KEEP QUIET. I LEFT THE MEAT HYGIENE SERVICE AND THE COUNTRY – COMPLETELY DISILLUSIONED AND FULL DISGUST!!!.”

From the CALVES EXPERIENCING THEIR MOTHER'S DEATH FROM INSIDE HER,WHILE THEY TOO SUFFER OR DIE THEIR OWN TERRIBLE DEATH, TO LIVE CALVES BEING CUT FROM THEIR DEAD MOTHER'S WOMB,SO THAT THEIR BLOOD CAN BE DRAINED FOR SCIENCE WHILE THEY'RE STILL ALIVE!!!!

....DEFRA replied , “WE DO NOT BELIEVE THAT THE SLAUGHTER OF PREGNANT COWS PRESENTS A SPECIFIC WELFARE CONCERN...WE DO NOT BELIEVE FURTHER LEGAL MEASURES ARE NECESSARY TO PROTECT THE WELFARE OF PREGNANT COWS OR UNBORN CALVES..”

DEFRA say that they do not see any justification for recording the number of pregnant animals who are slaughtered. However, a scientific paper published by the British Cattle Veterinary Association reveals that 150,000 pregnant cows are sent to slaughter each year. At least 40,000 of these cows are in the last stages of their pregnancy and are bearing calves who may be capable of independent life.
When Viva! asked what the government planned to do to prevent so many pregnant cows from being sent to slaughter, DEFRA replied, “We do not believe that the slaughter of pregnant cows presents a specific welfare concern... We do not believe further legal measures are necessary to protect the welfare of pregnant cows or unborn calves.”

From the calves experiencing their mother's death from inside her, while they too suffer or die their own terrible death, to live calves being cut from their dead mother's womb, so that their blood can be drained for science while they're still alive--it's all horrific, and none of it is ever talked about, even though it's a part of the dairy and beef industries and a part of how people get their "finest" leather.

THIS IS HAPPENING IN THE DAIRY INDUSTRY- NOT JUST THE MEAT INDUSTRY.

IT'S THE SAME DEFRA WHICH IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE UNSCIENTIFIC, IMMORAL AND BRUTAL MASSACRE OF THE THOUSANDS OF SCAPEGOATS - BADGERS PROTECTING A MULTI-MILLION POUND BUSINESS WITHOUT DOING ANY bTB TESTS!!!IT WASN'T ABOUT THE DISEASE AT ALL!!!
