An animal rights activist, hidden camera tucked in his clothes, finagles his way into an Indonesian abattoir and films what he and others claim is inhumane treatment of Australian cattle.
Whether standards have been breached – namely, if the animals were still conscious – is another matter. “But before long, my car was surrounded. I had a driver at the time, but because we were surrounded he didn’t dare move the car. And it happened so fast. They were shouting and demanding that I come out, and they opened the door and they pulled me out.”More workers came from the neighbouring plants, he said, until it was “a mob with a mob mentality”.
Imron, a part-owner of one of the linked abattoirs, said staff became wary when their guest wandered into the slaughter area. Their suspicions were confirmed when he later tried to escape rather than provide his ID. “I said it was not their property and, second, it would be tampering with evidence and be unlawful,” he said. “Eventually, we got the memory card back with the help of a lawyer. But footage related to the slaughterhouse was missing. We still managed to retrieve some of it with software.”As for the footage in hand, PETA wrote to the Indonesian government saying it contained evidence of cattle, alleged to be Australian, being inhumanely slaughtered in breach of regulations.
