A new scandal in 2 abattoirs in the south of France. L214, an organisation opposed to the mistreatment of animals in either raising or abattage, published yesterday new videos showing the bad treatment of animals in the Pézanas ( Herault) and at Puget - Théniers, Alpes Maritimes
The new images show the great suffering of the animals at the moment of their death. At Pézanas horses were winched into the abattoir; the stunning equipment was ineffective or defective; ritual killings (for halal or kosher meat) were nightmarish and "medieval".
Images are provided by shocked employees or undercover operatives of L214 (named after the section of the
Code affording animals the right to be treated with dignity). The association has laid complaints against the management and inspectors of the abattoirs. A spokesman for the Pezenas establishment has denied the accusations and says that all procedures are now in accordance with the law. The Prefecture has confirmed that measures have been put into place to bring the abattoir in line.
It is the seventh time in the last few months that L214 has exposed degrading treatment in local abattoirs.
