CRUEL treatment of lambs in a Victorian abattoir exposed in an online video has been condemned by Sheep Producers of Australia and the Australian Meat Industry Council.
A video showing lambs being manhandled, chased and roughly slaughtered by Carrum Meatworks workers has been released online on leaked.com.au by Animal Rights Australia.
Gathercole operates its Carrum Downs abattoir at Patterson Lakes in outer south-east Melbourne. The company has not released a statement and a receptionist at the company’s Melbourne office told Sheep Central: “We’ve been advised not to comment.”
Australian Meat Industry Council chief executive officer Patrick Hutchinson said the video showed practices that were cruel, abhorrent and completely unacceptable. It is believed the CCTV footage was recorded in March this year.
An AMIC statement said PrimeSafe has dealt with the historical footage through enforcement action and continued to monitor the establishment over the past months through ongoing investigation.
