The Live Export of Polish Horses for Meat Each year, around 100,000 horses are exported from Central and Eastern Europe for slaughter in Italy, France and Belgium in what can fairly be described as one of the cruelest and least regulated aspects of Europe's live animal trade.
A Viva! Investigation on the Slaughter of Farmed Animals in the UK Viva! has been able to obtain video footage of stunning and killing of farmed animals from within UK slaughterhouses.

Undercover footage of the conditions in which turkeys are reared on six farms - including two of the UK's biggest producers. The video shows overcrowded sheds, dead and dying birds, animals with gaping wounds, birds with one half of their beak removed and cannibalism. The companies involved are Bernard Matthews (the biggest turkey producer in Europe), Kerry Foods (owners of Home Pride, Mattessons Walls and Greens), and farms in Braintree, Sevenoaks, Chichester and Devon.
