Between July 2014 and June 2017, the FSA
documented a total of 9,511 animal welfare violations committed by
slaughterhouse employees, truck drivers, and farmers. Over 4,400 breaches were
deemed category four—the most serious—meaning that the animals were subjected
to “avoidable pain, distress, or suffering.

slaughterhouse employees, truck drivers, and farmers. Over 4,400 breaches were
deemed category four—the most serious—meaning that the animals were subjected
to “avoidable pain, distress, or suffering.
The report documented a host of atrocities: a
cow “violently slammed against a wall following an argument between two
workers, chickens and pigs lowered into scalding water while fully conscious, and
a cow taken to slaughter with a facial lesion “completely full of worms.
Thousands of animals were killed without proper stunning.

In the U.S., Mexico, and Canada animals raised
and killed for food suffer similar abuse. A 2015 Mercy For Animals undercover
investigation at a Foster Farms chicken slaughterhouse in Fresno,
California, revealed birds being scalded alive. This is common in slaughter plants.
In 2013 The Washington
Post reported that
more than 1 million birds are scalded alive each year in the U.S. alone.
