Slaughterhouse staff convicted of animal abuse

[Catherine]

The workers at Bowood Yorkshire Lamb Slaughterhouse pleaded guilty to causing unnecessary suffering to animals. They have been sentenced. Sadly the sentences were short and they were suspended.

It sends a mixed message. The courts care enough about the animals to find the men guilty and sentence them. However they clearly don't care that much. The men received such light sentences that they will not act as a deterrent to future cruelty.
The only thing that penalized them at all was paying the court costs. They will go back to their old ways and nothing will be changed.
