On Contact: Slaughterhouse

”Many animals arrive dead, sometimes frozen to the sides of the trucks where a chain has to be wrapped around them to pry them loose. They are tossed onto a pile of other animal carcasses. Animals barely able to walk from the trucks into the chute to be slaughtered are beaten to death with a lead pipe. The killing is done so quickly – 200 to 400 cattle can be killed in an hour, or 3,000 to 5,000 per day – that when animals are skinned they are sometimes still alive, forcing workers to thrust a knife into the head to sever its spinal cord.”
