Abattoir shut in France
Print Edition
AN abattoir in southern France was shut down on Tuesday pending an investigation after an animal rights group released a video purportedly showing abuse of livestock at the facility.
The group, L214, published the four-minute video on its website, claiming to have secretly filmed it at the abattoir in Le Vigan, in France’s southern Gard region, which is certified as “organic.”
Scenes include employees tasering livestock, hurling sheep against barriers, hanging pigs by one leg, and pulling a cow by one horn.
Cattle and pigs are supposed to be stunned to death before their throats are slit, but can be seen still moving as they are being bled.
The agency that manages the abattoir said it was closed until further notice and staff had been suspended. It said an internal investigation would be conducted.
