Alarming new secretly-recorded footage from a pig slaughterhouse shows appalling conditions and blatant violations of animal protection laws.
Provided anonymously to Animal Justice, the video is the first undercover look at pig slaughter in Canada.

The disturbing footage gathered from Johnston's Packers (Also known as Johnston's Meat or Johnston's Pork), a provincially-licensed slaughterhouse in Chilliwack, British Columbia, shows pigs desperately trying to escape, being stunned improperly and cut open while still conscious, and the heartbreaking fear in their eyes as they see they're about to die.

In slaughterhouses, it's legally required that animals are stunned before being killed.
But at Johnston's, workers regularly fail to render animals unconscious before slitting their throats and hanging them to bleed out.

Over and over, pigs were seen having their throats slit while screaming and blinking -- signs of consciousness.
In the cramped slaughter room, pigs are killed in full view of one another, often while they are physically on top of or next to other pigs.

1. A HUGE reason I'm vegan. I WILL NOT

contribute to that.

2. Horrific.

I’ve been a vegetarian for fifty years.
Ivy maintained that if I could walk fifty meat eaters through a slaughterhouse, I would being out at least thirty vegetarians.
Amazingly, most people don’t even understand what a vegetarian is. They ask, do you eat chicken or do you eat fish? I usually tell them, I don’t eat anything with eyes.

3. I'm not vegan or vegetarian- but this video is so horrifying and upsetting that I will never be able to eat pork again

4. Horrific animal cruelty can never be justified. Ever.

I’ve not eaten a mammal or a bird in over 40 years. One thing that really irks me about foodie culture is how selfish and irresponsible it is. And don’t get me going about speciesism. The day we see cows, pigs, sheep, chickens, turkeys, ducks and geese featured on those incessant SPCA commercials is a day worth celebrating. I still eat small amounts of seafood and I feel guilty with every bite, but I’m working on that too.

5. This is why I've been a vegan for 25 years. I could no longer turn a blind eye to the depravity.
