A whistleblower provided PETA with video footage recorded by young slaughterhouse workers as they shot, beat, stabbed, and urinated on animals.
As if slaughterhouses aren’t disturbing and violent enough already!
Some of the images the whistleblower sent to PETA were even edited to mock the animals’ suffering, and the videos were allegedly shared among the slaughterhouse workers for their amusement.
One of the videos, which appears to show a high school student shooting a cow and stabbing her in the neck, is set to music and features hearts and other graphics.
Other disturbing acts seen in the videos include a young worker urinating on a cow’s face, a worker striking a cow in the head with a pipe, and a cow kicking her legs and struggling to stand, apparently after being shot.
The footage was reportedly recorded at Georgia’s Best Processing outside Fort Valley, Georgia, and an apparent Peach County School District student was among the abusers. That’s why PETA is rushing kindness-to-animals educational materials, courtesy of TeachKind, to schools in the district. Compassion can be cultivated, and PETA stands ready to help Peach County Schools teach their students that every sentient being, whether a cow or a classmate, deserves empathy and respect.
