<input type="text" name="email_subject" class="action_email_subject" value="Ban gas chambers for pigs in Victorian slaughterhouses" style="font-size:14px;margin-bottom:20px;">
<textarea name="email_body" class="action_email_body mceEditor" id="email_body" style="display: none;" aria-hidden="true"><p>Dear Ms. Tierney,</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">I am writing to express my concern regarding the brutal and agonising deaths and mutilation of pigs inside gas chambers at Victorian slaughterhouses . After watching new footage on ABC's 7.30 program and on <a href="https://www.BanGasChambers.com.au" target="_blank" rel="noopener">BanGasChambers.com.au</a>, I am sickened and outraged that such a cruel and unsustainable practice is not only legal but standard practice across the entire Australian pork industry. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Like most Australians, I consider myself an animal lover and the thought of the terrifying final moments of these intelligent pigs fills me with horror. I am writing to ask for your position on gas chambers and whether you support the use of these archaic devices on sentient animals. Georgie Purcell MLC has responded to this footage by calling for an inquiry into the use of these chambers and I am hoping that, in your capacity as Minister for Agriculture you will stand up for the wellbeing of animals and support a ban. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">I hope you choose to take a stand against animal abuse and suffering. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">I look forward to your response.</span></p></textarea>

New footage, aired exclusively on ABC's 7.30, reveals the agonising final moments of pigs inside Victoria's three largest slaughterhouses.

Referred to by the industry as "controlled atmosphere stunning" or "controlled atmosphere killing", the process involves forcing pigs into gondola cages which are then lowered into the pit of the chamber, where high concentrations of the excruciating toxic gas cause them to suffocate. When we first exposed the use of these chambers at Australia's largest pig slaughterhouse back in 2014, it was the first time in the world that the supposedly "humane" system had been captured on camera. Consumers were being told that the pigs just gently fall asleep - but the footage revealed something very different. In the 9 years since, despite the emergence of even more footage and the obvious extreme cruelty, it's managed to remain the pork industry's best-kept secret. We knew we needed to take drastic measures to force the issue into mainstream attention and prevent it being swept under the rug once more. So this time, we hid an investigator inside the top of one of these chambers overnight with a professional camera, to capture the brutality like never before. > On January 27, 2023, Farm Transparency Project's founding director, Chris > Delforce, spent over 9 hours hidden above the gas chamber at the Australian > Food Group (AFG) slaughterhouse in Melbourne's west, witnessing first-hand the > absolute horror faced by millions of pigs every year in Australia. After the > day's killing had finished and the staff went on break, investigators Harley > and Cat guided Chris with an aerial drone as he climbed out of the chamber and > snuck out of the facility wearing high-vis clothing. Meanwhile, the team planted high-resolution hidden cameras inside the chambers at Victoria's two other largest slaughterhouses - Diamond Valley Pork, just down the road from AFG in Laverton, and Benalla in the state's north. Diamond Valley Pork kills up to 1 million pigs per year, around 20% of the national total, having upgraded a few years earlier to an enormous "Butina Backloader" chamber capable of fitting up to three times as many pigs per gondola compared to the previous design. When returning to retrieve the hidden cameras at Benalla, the gondolas had rotated to lower positions in the chamber, requiring our team to climb down into the gas. Immediately, we felt our eyes burning, and panic set in. Any breath we tried to take was like breathing in fire, and several times we had to frantically climb back out, shaking and gasping for air. > “I have seen animals killed right in front of my eyes. I have seen workers > kicking piglets around like footballs and animals screaming in pain, pleading > with their eyes for help. I have had to walk away from so many suffering > animals, knowing that the best thing I can do for them and all the others I > couldn’t save was to keep trying to tell their story... but this is the most > horrible thing I have ever seen.” - Chris Delforce Our footage shows that, despite what the pork industry tells consumers, pigs suffer and die in agony inside these gas chambers. We saw pigs writhing and gasping for air, screaming in fear and pain, frantically looking around for a way out of the cage. At AFG, many pigs locked eyes with Chris as he sat hidden just metres above them, and he had to watch as they slowly suffocated, knowing that the best way he could help them was to get out safely and make sure their stories reached as many people as possible. Workers are seeing using paddles, prodders and even boots to force pigs into the chamber, sometimes over the bodies of other pigs who had become stuck as they thrashed around desperately. Over a few harrowing minutes, pigs go from being curious, scared, thinking, feeling individuals with a desire to live, to being nothing more than a body, a number, a price tag. These are not isolated incidents, these are not "rogue operators". This is the pork industry's highest standard. If these were dogs or cats, it would be illegal - but pigs and other farmed animals are exempt from protection in Victoria and other states' animal welfare laws. It's time for that to change.

They can never be kind or compassionate. It’s time that we call them out on the lies they tell us and make all animal cruelty illegal. WHAT WE WANT * A Victorian inquiry into the use of gas chambers, or ‘controlled atmosphere stunning,’ in slaughterhouses * A total ban on the use of gas chambers and other industry practices that would be considered animal abuse if farmed animals weren’t exempt from animal welfare legislation * An end to the breeding and killing of pigs for food * Government support for farmers to transition out of the pig farming industry and into kinder, sustainable industries WHAT YOU CAN DO: AS A VOTER Write to the minister Join over 2500 people who’ve asked the Victorian Minister for Agriculture, Gayle Tierney, to take this issue seriously and support a ban on gas chambers.

After watching new footage on ABC's 7.30 program and on <a href="https://www.BanGasChambers.com.au" target="_blank" rel="noopener">BanGasChambers.com.au</a>, I am sickened and outraged that such a cruel and unsustainable practice is not only legal but standard practice across the entire Australian pork industry. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Like most Australians, I consider myself an animal lover and the thought of the terrifying final moments of these intelligent pigs fills me with horror. I am writing to ask for your position on gas chambers and whether you support the use of these archaic devices on sentient animals. Georgie Purcell MLC has responded to this footage by calling for an inquiry into the use of these chambers and I am hoping that, in your capacity as Minister for Agriculture you will stand up for the wellbeing of animals and support a ban. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">I hope you choose to take a stand against animal abuse and suffering. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">I look forward to your response.</span></p> To open the popup, press Shift+Enter To open the popup, press Shift+Enter Send Email This site is protected by reCAPTCHA and the Google Privacy Policy and Terms of Service apply. 2,669 emails sent Sent by Mariana B , 7 hours ago Sent by Ashutosh J , 7 hours ago Sent by Thomas N , 1 day ago Sent by Monica O , 2 days ago Sent by Leslie D , 2 days ago Sent by Ruby P , 2 days ago Sent by Jacqueline K , 2 days ago Sent by Jonathan B , 2 days ago Sent by Larissa C , 3 days ago Sent by Nikola C , 3 days ago Sent by Trimberly T , 3 days ago Sent by Harlow W , 4 days ago Sent by Ursula K , 4 days ago Sent by Bea G , 5 days ago Sent by Liam M , 5 days ago Sent by Bianca M on Wed 10 May 2023 at 1:06pm Sent by Sanjok B on Wed 10 May 2023 at 1:04am Sent by David D on Tue 9 May 2023 at 10:22pm Sent by Martijn V on Tue 9 May 2023 at 5:08pm Sent by Jasmin P on Tue 9 May 2023 at 6:37am FACILITIES (3) Diamond Valley Pork Laverton North VIC, exposed 2023 by Farm Transparency Project One of three facilities featured in our 2023 investigation into the gas stunning of pigs in Australian slaughterhouses.
