Activists question Australian abattoir standards - VIDEO
Animal rights activists say they are not so sure animal abuse shown in footage filmed inside a New South Wales abattoir is the work of a rogue operator. - On Thursday night, ABC's Lateline screened distressing footage taken inside the Hawkesbury Valley Abattoir in north Sydney that showed animals not being stunned properly before slaughter and pigs being beaten repeatedly with an iron bar. The NSW Food Authority says it closed down the abattoir after viewing the footage and will conduct an investigation.
