An industrial pig slaughterhouse in Taiwan. Taiwan, 2019. Jo-Anne McArthur / We Animals
Description:
At this slaughterhouse in Taiwan, pigs were herded off the truck with frequently-administered electric prods. Those who were injured or too stressed to walk were hoisted off the trucks with chains and pulleys attached to the ceiling. A number of dead or sick pigs were documented being carried to a separate slaughterhouse by a dump truck.
Access to these kinds of spaces is restricted, rare, and often fleeting. Our visit into this slaughterhouse was facilitated through a partnership with the local animal advocacy group EAST (Environment & Animal Society of Taiwan). Thanks to our partnership with NGOs like EAST, we are not only able to capture these kinds of images, but we’re also able to supply local advocacy groups with the visuals they need to launch successful, targeted campaigns against the animal industries in their own backyards.
