Halal abattoir staff slammed sheep hard onto concrete floors and played recordings of wolves to the terrified animals as they were dying, footage reveals.
In a string of acts captured by hidden cameras, workers also breached animal welfare laws in ways that an academic said would have inflicted “immense pain, fear and distress”.
Sheep were inadequately killed, showing signs of life and suffering for up to four minutes after their throats were cut and when workers started dismembering them, an expert’s report says.
