Death Threats At Abattoir At Centre Of Animal Cruelty Allegations

Death Threats At Abattoir At Centre 

Of Animal Cruelty Allegations

DEATH threats have been made to staff working at a slaughter house which is at the centre of horrific animal cruelty allegations.

The threats emerged as protestors formed a peaceful demonstration outside Bowood Yorkshire Lamb abattoir in North Yorkshire – keen to vent their disgust and horror at images of animal cruelty taken from footage recorded inside.

Many came from surrounding villages, but some protestors travelled to the halal abattoir at Busby Stoop, near Thirsk, from as far away as Lancaster.

No threats or violence took place at the protest, which was attended by about 50 people keen to show their disgust and anger.

Occasionally tempers flared and shouts of “scum” and “low life” were directed at the building and the workers. One woman shouted: “What would James Herriot think of this?”
