Chicken Slaughterhouse Abuse at Kippenslachthuis W. van Meer & Zonen B.V. in Dronryp

Beter Leven slaughterhouse

The abuses recorded in the inspection reports of a Frisian chicken slaughterhouse are shocking. We requested the data because the company has the Beter Leven quality mark from the Dutch Society for the Protection of Animals (Dierenbescherming). However, the inspection revealed over a hundred violations. Chickens were slaughtered while fully conscious, torn apart, and kept in crates for hours without food or water, among other serious instances of animal suffering.
