Animal Equality’s investigation into pig slaughterhouse in Hidalgo, Mexico

Here, this
is the 22nd slaughterhouse. We
have documented in Mexico this time in
the state of Hidalgo.
They all have something in common.
At all of these slaughterhouses animal equality
investigators have documented serious violations of
laws and regulations that cause extreme
pain and stress to the animals.
Watch what we discovered the abuse
begins as soon as the pigs arrive at the slaughterhouse to
get them off the trucks. They are kicked
and beaten once inside.
Things get worse. They hear
the sounds of the other pigs being killed as they await their
turn.
Pigs here face a death that subjects them
to violent and illegal treatment.
Pigs are rarely stunned before
they are hoisted.
Pigs weighing more than 200 pounds are dragged
by a chain and hung in this position sometimes for
over a minute.
This practice causes them extreme pain and distress
leading up to their deaths when their
throats are cut.
Fully conscious pigs will sometimes struggle so hard
they fall to the floor.
An employee throws a fallen Peg off the platform which can
cause serious injury.
The pig is rechained and hoisted back
up to continue down the line again.
all of these practices violate Mexico standards for

violations of health and sanitation standards were
also documented.
Animals are covered in the feces blood and
organ of other animals.
The few times pigs were stunned. It was done randomly burning
the animal's heads in the process.

All of these practices are extremely violent and
prohibited but the regulations are
not enforced in this slaughterhouse.

to create criminal penalties for these violations.
