    <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">&lt;p&gt;Dear Ms. Tierney,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: 400;"&gt;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 &lt;a href="https://www.BanGasChambers.com.au" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;BanGasChambers.com.au&lt;/a&gt;, 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.&nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: 400;"&gt;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.&nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: 400;"&gt;I hope you choose to take a stand against animal abuse and suffering.&nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: 400;"&gt;I look forward to your response.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</textarea>

GAS CHAMBERS


WE HID INSIDE ONE OF THE PORK INDUSTRY’S GAS CHAMBERS WITH A CAMERA.
NOW YOU CAN WATCH WHAT THEY LABEL AS 'HUMANE'.



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

How we did it
The story behind our most daring investigation yet

Benalla shutdown
Activists enter and shut down slaughterhouse



All major pig slaughterhouses in Australia now use carbon dioxide gas chambers
as a means of rendering pigs unconscious before cutting their throats. 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.

TAKE ACTION

Industries that cage, mutilate and slaughter animals can never be humane. 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. Use our
template email form below, or contact her ministerial office via
Minister.Agriculture@ecodev.vic.gov.au or (03) 8392 2220.


 

Write to your local MP

Connect with your local MP to ask whether they will support a ban on gas
chambers - we've created a template letter you can use.

Consider also calling the MPs and even visiting their electoral offices and
asking for a meeting. You can view or download the contact details for MPs here:
https://new.parliament.vic.gov.au/contacting-members/ 

 

Write to the Federal Minister for Agriculture

Contact the Federal Minister for Agriculture, Murray Watt, asking him to support
a federal ban on gas chambers. You can email him at minister.watt@aph.gov.au, or
call (02) 6277 7190. Further contact details are available at
www.murraywatt.com.au/contact.

 


WHAT YOU CAN DO: AS AN ACTIVIST

Join our events

Follow us on Facebook to see our latest events. Farm Transparency Project will
be organising events in Melbourne while other organisers will be planning events
around the country.

 

Plan your own events

We encourage people to plan their own events as part of the Ban Gas Chambers
campaign. Email contact@farmtransparency.org for support with visuals, promotion
and action design. Consider outreach events, rallies with placards and banners,
and peaceful vigils. 

 


WHAT YOU CAN DO: AS A TRUCK DRIVER

We encourage truck drivers to refuse to deliver pigs to gas chambers. In
Victoria, pigs will be gassed to death at C A Sinclair abattoir in Benalla,
Diamond Valley Pork abattoir in Laverton and (prior to their closure in April
2023) Australian Food Group abattoir in Laverton. Consider refusing these jobs
on moral grounds. If you are not in a safe position to do so and worry about
losing work, consider raising a complaint with your union, manager or company. 

If you want support in this, please email us at contact@farmtransparency.org
with the subject line ‘truck drivers against gas chambers.’

Tell the Victorian Minister for Agriculture to ban gas chambers in pig
slaughterhouses

To:

The Hon Gayle Tierney, Minister for Agriculture

Subject: <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>
