“In the footage I have viewed, there is no adherence to biosecurity measures, there are gross breaches to animal welfare, and evidence of cross-contamination posing serious risks to human health.'

A backyard slaughterhouse operating on the outskirts of Melbourne has sparked fears of cruel practices and potential COVID-19 outbreaks after undercover footage surfaced of sheep being butchered inside a garage.

“We are living in a time when legally operating slaughterhouses and abattoirs poses a unique threat to the community, being hotspots for the spread of coronavirus. The Victorian Meat Industry Act prohibits the slaughter of livestock other than at an abattoir to produce meat for sale, but does allow farmers to slaughter their own livestock on their farm for private consumption at home. Meat from these animals is not permitted to be sold or to leave the property, they said.

“It's been a year since this facility was first reported, and nothing has changed; animals are still being slaughtered while fully conscious, suffering for minutes before they die, while biosecurity and hygiene issues are rampant,” Mr Delforce said. It saw the Premier issuing warnings against panic buying meat which he said would worsen the state's supply.Of the state's highest clusters of active infections, the top three were all from the meat industry.

Appalling 😢

Oops, for a second i thought this story was about DanielAndrewsMP botched hotel quarantine program🤷‍♂️ DismissDan

Just out of curiosity, and looking at the dress one of these guys is wearing, they wouldn’t be doing a sort of ritual killing that a certain religion requires for their meat would it? 🤔

So it's not cruel being murdered at a slaughterhouse? Name one difference?
