Inspection of Flemish slaughterhouse after horror images

The Flemish Inspectorate of Animal Welfare is being checked in the cattle slaughterhouse in Izegem on Tuesday morning.

'The road to more animal welfare is damn long. Who in the agriculture or slaughter sector thinks we do not think or that I will weaken in earnest, they will feel it, 'Weyts said.

The slaughterhouse manager, Louis Verbist (73), denies in the newspaper The Last News all accusations. 'We are slaughtered in a correct way and sick animals do not come in. I invite you to come and see what's happening to us. We will be happy to guide you. '
