  • Investigation

    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.

  • Investigation

    In early 2020, Ongehoord published a comprehensive investigation on chicken slaughterhouses, after previously conducting research on the living conditions of broiler chickens (2013) and laying hens (2017).
