Target: David Andrews, Detective Chief Inspector, Warwickshire Police
Goal: Bring appropriate charges against company for the alleged mistreatment and suffering of sheep exposed in the recent footage.
Protesters are demanding immediate action against T&S Abattoir in Arley, Warwickshire, after disturbing footage surfaced allegedly showing egregious treatment of sheep. As reported, the footage revealed incidents of “extreme rough handling,” where sheep were hit, dragged, and slaughtered in front of one another, leading to a local outcry for the facility’s closure. The gravity of these events has prompted serious concerns from community members and animal rights activists alike, highlighting not only the alleged animal cruelty but also the broader implications for community welfare.
Additional allegations have surfaced, with claims of animals exhibiting signs of “likely consciousness” post-slaughter, further intensifying calls for action. Community residents have put forward complaints concerning foul odors, flies, and presumably rotting animal remains left unaddressed, contributing to a distressing environment for those living in proximity to the abattoir. The atmosphere of fear and discontent continues to grow, as locals express fears for both their well-being and their property values in light of the facility’s reported actions.
Given the severity of the allegations, including suspicions of unnecessary suffering to protected animals under current animal welfare legislation, it is imperative that justice is served. Appropriate punishment must be pursued not only to hold the alleged offenders accountable but also to send a clear message about the importance of animal welfare standards. This petition demands that law enforcement move forward decisively to pursue actions against T&S Abattoir.
PETITION LETTER:
Dear Detective Chief Inspector David Andrews,
Recent revelations involving T&S Abattoir raise urgent and grave concerns about animal welfare practices at this facility. Allegations captured in disturbing footage demonstrate what was described as “extreme rough handling” of sheep, including reports of animals being hit, dragged, and slaughtered in front of their fellow creatures. These acts, apparently highlighting signs of unnecessary suffering, cannot be overlooked, especially given their implications for both the animals involved and the surrounding community.
Community members have expressed growing alarm as the abattoir’s operations have reportedly coincided with significant issues such as foul odors, flies, and the sight of rotting animal remains, all of which foster public distress and significantly impact their quality of life. The footage and accounts of animal suffering merit thorough investigation and the enforcement of appropriate consequences against those responsible to ensure that such inhumane practices are not tolerated within the industry.
In light of these harsh realities, it is crucial that appropriate charges are pursued against T&S Abattoir and those implicated in these alleged animal welfare breaches. We ask for your steadfast commitment to ensuring that justice is served and that necessary actions are taken to hold individuals and the company accountable.
Sincerely,
[Your Name Here]
