Abbatoir workers filmed 'waterboarding' cows
The Humane Society says a California slaughterhouse has been using a range of torture, including 'waterboarding', to force unfit cattle into the slaughterhouse.
The Society has shown a video from its own undercover investigation that it says shows abuse by workers at the Hallmark Meat Packing Co of Chino, California. The video showed workers kicking cows, ramming them with forklift blades, applying electric shocks and even using a hose to simulate the feeling of drowning so the animals would revive long enough to pass federal inspection.
"The attempt was to make them so distressed and to cause them so much suffering that these animals would get up and walk into the slaughterhouse," Wayne Pacelle, president of the Humane Society of the United States, told reporters.
