Kicked, punched, hit and thrown around - sickening violence inside family butchers' slaughterhouse in distressing video captured by campaigners' hidden cameras

WARNING: GRAPHIC CONTENT

Harrowing clip of animals tormented in final hours at Staffordshire abattoir

In one scene worker stamps on a frantic sheep which should be stunned

Another distressing video sees three men squashing live pig against a wall

Desperate animal is seen staggering around after being incorrectly shot

The shocking footage has prompted an investigation from the RSPCA

And the abattoir boss admits he expects to have his licence suspended 

"Kicked, punched, and hurled against a blood-soaked wall, animals shriek and writhe in agony as they await their slaughter."

"Cows are seen hanging by one leg still mooing even after their throats are cut, while a pig is repeatedly struck by a metal gate after being shot incorrectly by a bolt gun."

"The undercover footage exposes the practice at a 112-year-old family butcher's abattoir in Staffordshire."

"Several scenes show pigs, cows, and sheep being kicked, thrown around and strung up – many appearing not to have been adequately stunned."
