most of you are ignorant to the reality of what goes on in these places. They are regulated as is the Bobby calve industry. As far as the father having his son there would you lot grow up. What danger is ther kid in? The abbatiors are not working and im tipping he is not watching the animals being stunned and quartered. Time to get a reality check people and live in the real world

Very little regulation occurs. The footage shows calves, unable to walk, being dragged and dumped. Also relentless use of electric prod. Both practices are not acceptable, even under the existing Code of Practice. After the footage was released, the authortities conducted an audit of the abattoir and closed the calf and sheep killing area for months. But the same problems would be found at other abattoirs. Bobby calves are too weak to cope with long distance transport.

God that makes me feel ashamed to be an Australian. Most kids would be horrified. How will that one turn out. I thought kids were not allowed at these death houses.

Humans are a disgusting species.. they treat animals dreadfully and worse still .. they eat animals corpses .. Has our species still not evolved to know compassion !!!

@MichaelR1991 We may be animals, but we are intelligent and civilised. When a lion evolves enough to build its own house, or cook dinners, then we will be ashamed of what it does. Though we need to eat other animals, we can do it politely, and make as easy as possible on the animal. This is torture.

[MichaelR1991]

@neesan1 Just like how we used to hunt them centuries before 'civilisation.' With spears and clubs and arrows. And like how the lion chases the gazelle, bites it in the neck and lets it slowly bleed to death, if not strangling it in its jaws, or the Killer Whales relentlessly terrorising and then biting chunks off a still living blue whale. We are animals as well. Funnily enough, animals eating other animals is how we survive. There is no 'clean' way to kill one either.

why wasnt the dumb child from the video forced into the stun box?

[seektherapy70]

shame that brat wasnt mistaken for a baby calf

[DavidTDuncan]

How can we as a society think that it is OK to treat such young animals with no mercy. They have no protection at all. They are born innocently here, harming no one - yet look what we do to them. We are a fucking disgrace is all I can say, and I am fed up with all of the shittiness in this world that is a direct result of our fucked up species. We ought to be ashamed.

I am interested in changing this world entirely. If you are too then search for Equal Money and Desteni in google. Thanks.

@Chocoholicshazz Oh really? Would you leave his son alone with your family pet? I wouldn't.

[BearandJenny]

The lead up to the stunning chute needs to be well lit...no wonder why the calves won't go. I was the same age as that little tyke when I went in the plant with my dad. I watched him kill beef everyday

this isn't considered "crulety" just the standered. Don't think Slaughter houses are any diffrent anywhere elce.
