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.
