FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda Slaughtering has been halted at a Sydney abattoir after video footage of animal cruelty.
The NSW food authority said in a statement today that it had seen disturbing video footage of what it described as “gross animal mistreatment”.
“The video shows the slaughter of sheep, cattle, goats and pigs that allegedly breaches the Food Regulation 2010 and the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act 1979,” it said.
An investigation involving the RSPCA is under way, it said.

A spokeswoman for the NSW food authority said it received the video, taken at Hawkesbury Valley Meat Processors at Wilberforce, in Sydney’s west, yesterday.
“The video shows one of the staff members at the abattoir hitting a pig and there’s a cattle prod being used on cattle,” she told AAP.
“We’ve gone in and taken their stamps, which means they can’t slaughter any more animals, and then there will be an investigation into their processes.”
She said the operation employed about 20 people and did halal and non-halal slaughter.

A spokeswoman for the abattoir confirmed it was under investigation but declined to comment further.
The video was provided to the food authority by the ABC, the spokeswoman said.
The closure of the Sydney abattoir comes after videos showing the mistreatment of cattle in Indonesia halted live animal sales last year.
