A lot of people don't know what happens at saleyards around our country everyday. This article is the latest of hundreds of incident that happen so often at saleyards. I try to attend saleyards weekly for last few months, In doing so i have witnessed some of the worst abuse i have ever seen against farm animals.

It was only 2 weeks ago i was at this exact saleyard. I saw so much cruelty there it was sickening. My friend who has been working against animal abuse at saleyards for years now is still overwhelmed with the conditions and how hidden these places are.

I urge ppl in rural areas or close to saleyards to visit them regularly , make complaints and keep pressure on these disgusting people who commit these crimes. Saleyards are rarely bought up amongst activists and society. They are so hidden and few ppl are able to help because it is such a horrible sight to see. This latest killing of the pig will highlight how evil these places are . The animals need your help at saleyards. Now is a better time than any to get this issue out there !

Theres no need for hidden cameras. Every week i take my camera and record these places they know we have video cams and they stick their fingers up at us on film while they kick drag and hurt animals why they laugh.

They shoot them and elctric prod them shove them onto truck with broken legs and let up to 3 dogs attack animals at once . They do all this on camera i have hours of it. They are not scared to do this because they have no one to answer to.

They tie chickens and ducks legs together and put them in plastic bags in the back of their boot.

No body cares about sale yards.  Activists included. This is why i ask for people to visit them and make it known that we know what they are doing. Only when more people complain and make a noise can we do something about this to make it stop.

That would be great , What area are you in ? I could probably tell you where they are!
These places are horrible and overwhelming but the animals there need help more than ever.  They are so easy to visit and see what happens they hide nothing there because they dont expect caring people to be there.
