 We good? Okay, so as they're over here So what's happening is there's police literally everywhere. There's about 12 walking up there We've seen two big vans and pull a police over there. We're meeting The animal rebellion guys for an action and there are police that there are police at the watch Keeping watch over here. I'm not too sure how they're gonna how they're gonna work There's police have already police have already worked them out They must have intercepted everything police have been intercepting everything animal rebellion are doing but apparently We might be going to a slaughterhouse to disrupt it. So let's go find them Okay, here's everyone here and here's about 25 police walking up. Looks like we've got a little Little guy here whose job it is to tell on us at the corner here and this is a group of animal rebellion people over there. There's already Looks like community officers or something with them. See how this pans out It's up. Yeah Peabody road All right, so we've got the address of the slaughterhouse The police are already trying to find out where it is I don't know how this is going to go the police are going to intercept it before we do anything There's just police everywhere So we're gonna try to make our own way down there See how we go So for more to lose station, we can go straight to farm bra Is that the popo? Maybe I'm just following the crew. I'm not really. I don't really know what's up. Yeah, I haven't been told of anything Thank you, what's your name? Nice to meet you Tom. You too my friend. Thank you. Thank you so A bunch of activists have locked on to a slaughterhouse truck and they seem to be inside the slaughterhouse over here We had a meeting point at 9 a.m. And all the police went there seems like another group had already Made their way up to the slaughterhouse. So the police were kind of you know intercepted by us and Distracted long enough so that these people could do the action over here Look how close to residential area this slaughterhouse is people living right here with their families and children Smells like shit and blood over here Disgusting because like rotting the animals. How can people look like this individual here lives right next door? Like all I can smell is sheep carcass right now Disgusting and is it look at the way this place is designed with the prison bars There's someone up on the roof too for any problems you might get some peace signs and some song sung to you That's about it. Maybe a flower put in your pocket No one here is violent or aggressive. We just really care about animals That's all we don't like that. There's chopped up animal bodies and they've been over there and It's more it's more about a disrupting the system not the individuals that work here We don't even think jobs like this should be made available to human beings either You know blood and animals trying to struggle for their lives. So yeah, it's bigger than any individual really If you walk past the butcher and then you walk into a slaughterhouse the scent the smell is exactly the same But you're at a slaughterhouse smell exactly the same blood Except the slaughterhouse has got more of a urine feces rotten corpse smell like you're walking up you can smell it smells like a rotten animal But yeah when you're on the kill floor smells exactly like a butcher So after I when I was on the kill floor watching animals be stabbed and you know taking in that smell Whenever I walk past the butcher and just get a flash pack of the kill floor He said can I squash him? Pretty funny joke not Yeah, he goes out can I squash him? Cops just laugh. I don't know. Can you make jokes like that about running over activists? You can't really make jokes like that. Hey, I'm gonna ask her why you let she let him say that excuse me Did he just say can I squash him? Did he just say can I squash him? But he said can I squash him I heard him But why did you let him say that I was just wondering Why did you allow him to say that without warning him? What if he did run over the activists after you he sort of said that in jest Yeah, but if he said I'm gonna blow up this these Buildings or something and you didn't take that seriously you'd be negligible you'd be liable for that Just like you know he said I'm you know activists have been run over and killed before Should take things like that's more seriously We love you Slaughterhouse hacking up animals you can smoke blood and corpses right here. There's children playing out the back of a school You can hear them the young children as well. How crazy is that? That's why they're brought up normalizing violence So that's why society is like it is because they're brought up thinking that this stuff is normal right outside of a school They can hear the animals screaming from it. So there's a petition to close down the slaughterhouse But that's interesting because the parents will be feeding the slaughtered bodies to the children But they want the slaughterhouse shut down nearby so This is the residents are trying to remove you know ram into the activists Apparently there's a petition to get this place shut down because they don't like the fact that animals are being slaughtered here But they want to eat animal bodies every day, you know like you can't have one and not the other You want to eat animal bodies? There's gonna have to be a slaughterhouse somewhere So we are here for the workers because they're victims too They suffer for this job mental health low-paid not just this little house, but all of them So we are here in solidarity also with the workers Okay, so I think someone's inside this actual slaughterhouse live-streaming from animal rebellion We're gonna see if we can show you the images from the live-stream right now, but apparently they're inside the slaughterhouse This is a bin out the front all the skins and bodies and Guts from the sheep lambs heads Body parts Stocks down to slaughterhouse stuff I Keep on singing Okay, so a couple of activists to superglue themselves to the fence That's another way of being disruptive and Then it creates another barricade for the police to have to work towards moving them off and It's a peaceful way of disrupting the system, I suppose Let's take their hands the fence ouch, so these guys here that we They're basically Documenting the identity of the activists so they know who's involved with the organization. I think so Ed What are your thoughts on this type of civil disobedience direct action? Yeah, I think it's powerful I think when people are willing to put their liberties and freedom at risk I think it sends like a powerful message that this is it This is something that we feel not just passionate about there's something that you know We're willing to risk a lot for and yeah, that's a credibility to what you're fighting against or fighting for So you're a vegan advocate predominantly you do a lot of your advocacy on social media Do you think that this brings another element into it like yeah, yeah Well, I mean what we're up against is like a multi-headed beast Yeah, so it's not as simple as having like one tactic to remove all of those heads So I think we need social media activism. We need just kind of grassroots. We need civil disobedience I did a whole spectrum of things because that's the only way we're actually going to tackle this huge Monster that we're up against because other vegan activists might be put off a little bit by doing activism because this is quite full-on They're chained on and yeah, what would you say to those people like well? You don't have to be chained on everyone out here, you know really and truly like we're here for support We're here to document we're here to share online Those people inside are incredibly humbling to me because they are willing to do all that But you don't have to know the point being here in solidarity is also an incredibly essential part of civil disobedience So doing that to civil disobedience doesn't mean that you're actually necessary putting your freedom in danger No other people will do that and it's up to you to build up the confidence if you want to but just being here being You know feet on the ground and our voiced ads in solidarity is also just as important. No, no you said it very well Thanks so much. You're welcome. Thanks for being here as well Oh, I've got a feeling something might be going down around the other side. I don't know I might move across the other side Maybe this is deterrent for what's going down over come on We support the animals rights Not yet not there yet Yeah, no, no, what are you saying a bit truck drivers beat the animals what he hears a lot He said the owners are not very nice people instead the truck drivers He hears them beating them kicking them scream at them get off the intro Yeah So apparently workers actually live in this little building here right next door here on the property Which is very interesting. I've never Never actually been to a slaughterhouse, but there's a small house on the same property But this is where the workers actually live It's getting ready for the truck. What's up the trucks coming that's I think there's a truck full of animals coming here Might be cows, so I don't know how visible they will be We have to wait till the seat of the truck gets Can I start you all just step back, but I just don't want to get anyone run over by Laurie Can you come down here now All right, so those animals just looks really lovely and scared and innocent and But we're only out the front of this road because you want to eat animal products and animals have to slaughter Yeah, so this is all really innocent and terrified and now there are any young animals and They're often there now to be bolt gun in the head slashed across the throat had their blood drained from them and To be fed to people in this residential area the same residents who complain about this slaughterhouse's existence I'm paying for it to be there and they're also disgruntled because we're standing out in the middle of the road here But you know they're paying for this place to exist and they're paying for those animals to go into those hellholes So this is all legal legal murder. What's happening here? So it's a legal animal abuse what they're doing to these animals in there Any other animals dogs Will defend them these animals have police protecting this business here legally sanctioned a murder That's what it is So I'm just cleaning the animals feces off of my hand like when you think about your food your food shouldn't Defecate on themselves out of fear, you know Plants of food not scared animals not pieces of scared animals bodies that have been hacked up blood and crap all over them I said I was angry when I see that happening, you know Just fucks me off like Poor babies should be getting taken care of not this Like they have done nothing wrong to anyone those animals That is all they did was be born Forced into it to birth as well Forced into birth to be forced down the kill floor The knife forced into their throat We'll get off the road when you stop paying for slaughterhouses Can you see that that's a stock stock standard Council order today. No, this is just standard. This is Australia actually pretty similar to a UK So couch on escape to the couch on escape I Eat dairy dairy products they all get slaughtered for dairy as well They try to escape you ever see your food get made before that's the first step Murder fear struggle death I Never seen any of this before That's inside the slaughterhouse struggle I'm upside down stabbed in the throat Shot in the head It's what no one sees I'm not gonna make any comment on it. You don't have to comment. No, it's okay. I know you can't anyway You have to remain impartial But I know most of the public and most human beings are definitely not Definitely not happy with that. There are any babies One two years old Product of murder that's what it is Little teddy bears they were in the back of that truck Yeah, I promise you I can't imagine any officer here Taking a knife or taking a baton that you have on you and being an animal to death or stabbing into death For a chicken wing or for a burger when someone else is doing it It's easier to you know put it aside to put it on your mind I can't imagine you guys would do that, especially given the oath that you've sworn to serve and protect others You know, I'm sure that some of you have had to protect animals in your line of duty You would surprise me if you had it where someone's doing something horrible to an animal abusing an animal Please don't pay people to do that anymore
