Reports of Shocking Cruelty at Slaughterhouses, Including Calves Drowning in Own Blood, Must be Prosecuted

Target: Joanne Palmer, Tasmanian Minister for Primary Industries and Water

Goal: Implement immediate legal action against those responsible for the cruelty in Tasmanian slaughterhouses and enforce strict animal welfare regulations.

Tasmanian slaughterhouses have become centers of horror, according to recent investigations. Disturbing footage has apparently uncovered a bleak reality: animals, including pigs, cows, and calves, facing egregious cruelty. These sentient beings allegedly endure unimaginable suffering–some slaughtered fully conscious, others regaining awareness mid-slaughter. In one abhorrent instance, calves reportedly killed without stunning, one drowning in its own blood. This appears to be a stark violation of the most basic animal welfare standards.

Further details appear to expose a broader, more systemic issue. Workers allegedly resort to brutal methods, including multiple shots, physical abuse, and even jumping on terrified animals. This alleged cruelty appears to be not isolated but indicative of a larger failure in regulatory oversight. Despite previous reports of similar atrocities in 2016, little to no action has been taken. This inaction suggests a concerning disregard for animal welfare and a broken regulatory system, failing those it’s meant to protect.

Immediate legal action against those responsible for these atrocities is imperative. The existing regulatory framework must undergo a thorough overhaul to ensure such cruelty never recurs. Demand stringent enforcement of animal welfare standards and accountability for these alleged acts of cruelty.

PETITION LETTER:

Dear Joanne Palmer,

Recent investigations into Tasmanian slaughterhouses have apparently unveiled a disturbing reality. Allegations of severe animal cruelty in these facilities are not only shocking but also indicative of a systemic failure in regulatory oversight. Animals, including young calves, reportedly endure extreme suffering–some killed while fully conscious, a clear breach of ethical and legal standards.

The depth of this alleged cruelty is alarming. Animals reportedly face brutal, inhumane treatment, including physical abuse and terrifying methods to force them into slaughter. This appears to not only represent a failure to protect these animals but also a blatant disregard for existing welfare regulations. The continued operation of these facilities, despite previous allegations, suggests a significant breakdown in the system meant to safeguard animal welfare.

We urge you to take immediate legal action against those responsible for these atrocities. It is crucial to enforce stricter animal welfare regulations and ensure accountability for these alleged acts of cruelty. Without decisive action, the integrity of the regulatory system and the welfare of countless animals remain at grave risk. We demand justice and reform to prevent future occurrences of such inhumane treatment.

Sincerely,

[Your Name Here]

    This makes me so sick! I went vegetarian over 50 years ago because of the cruelty and my love for animals. Even my belts are made of man made material and no leather shoes! We need to stand up for these poor innocent beings!😭😤

    • Mia Whiteoak says:

      Unfortunately if you consume dairy & eggs, you are still contributing to unimaginable cruelty as these products can’t be harvested without harm & the ultimate death of the animal. Going vegan is the only way to really align with your values. Watch Dominion for the truth

      • Vegetarians are hypocrites!
        They think cause they don’t eat meat they’re helping Animals…..
        What about all the billions of tortured Dairy & Poultry Animals that are tortured from the day they are born till the day they die…
        So don’t BRAG about just being a vegetarian… STOP Eating Other TORTURED Animals too!
        VEGAN IS THE ONLY CRUELTY FREE LIVING!

        • Gaylan Flottemesch says:

          I’m Vegan. I believe if I want meat I eat humans babies. This way I contribute to human population control. Save the planet, BBQ a baby is my motto

  3. In Australia we like to think we slaughter animals ‘humanely’.
    We’re no better than middle eastern or some Asian countries that kill animals in horrifying ways.
    Sane people don’t work in slaughter houses, sane people can’t go on killing every day, without it affecting them.
    Therefore it takes a certain type of person, usually with psychopathic traits, that would be in their element in an abattoir.
    Sadly, these people don’t care about the animals, and take great pleasure in animal torture.
    Even better still, they’re paid to kill animals!

    • Jameela Eugenio says:

      Muslims believe in the ethical treatment of animals. Halal practices align with this philosophy by promoting kindness, compassion, and humane treatment throughout the entire lifecycle of the animal. The emphasis on swift and painless slaughter respects the animal’s dignity and minimizes suffering. Baiting animals for entertainment or gambling is also prohibited in Islam. It is forbidden to kill any animal except for food or to prevent it from harming ppl. So do your research & don’t compare us to cruel cousins‼️

  4. Maria Lavorato says:

    I agree that to work in a slaughter house you most definitely don’t care about animals. BUT THAT DOES NOT GIVE THEM THE RIGHT TO NEEDLESSLY TORTURE/MISTREAT THE ANIMALS. THAT SHOULD BE ILLEGAL! THERE SHOULD BE LEGAL CONSEQUENCES OR WHERE DOES IT STOP!

    I also agree that going Vegan or at the least vegetarian would resolve this…but do you really believe that people that LOVE the meat would ever stop? TAKE FOR EXAMPLE THE HEART OF TEXAS ETC ETC ETC!!!!
    BUT YES THAT WOULD BE THE DREAM…BUT AT LEAST legislate laws and enforce and monitor them.

      THANK YOU!!

  6. May karma ensure these vile individuals know the fear and suffering they inflict. Were it not for these sentient souls, they would be penniless and in the gutter. Where it appears they belong. The least they could do is show some respect to these souls in their final moments.

  7. Agree all comments close this slaughter house down. What’s wrong with the laws these people need to be sacked. Slaughter them in this way. Whats wrong with people. Justice now. Sick of hearing this bulkshit and nothing is done. Our government is shit. Sack them too they are wrecking Australia and dint know how to run it. We are going down hill.

  8. Wendy Morrison says:

    SHOCK ALL THESE CRUEL AND ABUSIVE ASSHOLES WHOM CRUELLY KILLS ANY ANIMALS ALL OVER THE WORLD ON EVERY CONTINENT AND MAKE SURE THESE CRUEL & ABUSIVE ASSHOLES DIE A SLOW , PAINFUL, WITH THE MOST TORTURE WAYS!!!!

  9. goh maria says:

    Bad karma is awaiting animal abusers and those who look the other way especially the law enforcement because they have the power to stop these unnecessary cruelties, painful sufferings imposed on innocent helpless animals but chose not to do so.

    The world needs compassionate and empathetic powerful righteous leaders to protect and safeguard the welfare of animals and enforce stringent and tough rules and laws to purge all kinds of animal abusers as many as possible.

  10. Renata Kuchinsky says:

    Those committing such cruelty have no place on this Earth.
    harshest punishment possible are in order. I also hope that the karma will be swift.

  13. STOP ANIMAL CRUELTY BY APPLYING THE SAME COIN TO THE ONE WHO ABUSES AND KILLS THEM!!!

  14. Stephanie Geyser says:

    Let’s face it – slaughterhouses are NOT nice places. And the only people who chose to work in them, are sadists. The ONLY way for slaughterhouses to become humane is to STOP slaughtering animals. But that means all humans must become vegans. Which (sadly) will NEVER happen.

  15. JoAnne – You hold a position that will allow you to implement reform that will serve to better protect these innocent animals against human torture and hold accountable the workers who are doing the torturing. Please exercise some compassion and do what is necessary to ease the suffering of these animals. Do it now!

  16. Dr. Dagmar Görz-Lenzen says:

    May God send these uneducated, soulless, merciless terrorists the flood!

  17. Death penalty for these bastard killers,POS!
    Justice for calves and other animals!

  18. Nicole Davis says:

    THESE ARE EVIL, WICKED, BARBARIC, VILE EXCUSES FOR HUMANS. THEY HAVE SIGNED THEIR KARMIC PAYBACK THE MOMENT THEY DID ANY OR ALL OF THIS. DOESNT MATTER ONE BIT IF THEY BELEIVE IT OR NOT, IT WILL HAPPEN. IT HAS TO HAPPEN, IT IS KARMIC, NTURAL LAW, SET IN STONE BY A MUCH HIGHER BEING THAN THESE NEANDERTHALS CAN EVER BEGIN TO UNDERSTAND. WORST THING IS, THEY KNOW ITS WRONG AND DONT CARE…..I WOULDNT WANT THEIR KARMA, EVER, EVER, EVER!!
    THEY MAKE MY SKIN CRAWL.
