Slaughterhouse workers jailed after ALAW intervention
25 April 2012
ALAW welcomes the prison sentences handed down today to two slaughterhouse workers who were filmed gratuitously assaulting fully conscious pigs.
ALAW’s Legal Policy Director, barrister Alan Bates, who advised Animal Aid, commented: “ALAW is very satisfied that we were able to assist Animal Aid in ensuring that justice was done in this case. The sentences send out a strong signal to workers in the slaughterhouse industry that cruel treatment can lead to significant personal penalties.” For more information, please see here.
