The Cambodian meat industry slaughtered roughly 55,300 cows last year alone. The skins of these sensitive animals are one of the country’s top exports, supplying the international leather industry.

PETA: ‘PETA Asia has obtained disturbing eyewitness video footage captured inside a Cambodian slaughterhouse showing workers repeatedly bashing cows in the head with sledgehammers before finally cutting their throats while they’re still conscious. The Cambodian meat industry slaughtered roughly 55,300 cows last year alone. The skins of these sensitive animals are one of the country’s top exports, supplying the international leather industry. After PETA Asia released video footage earlier this year showing workers repeatedly striking frightened pigs in the head with heavy metal pipes inside a Cambodian slaughterhouse, the Ministry of Agriculture responded by denouncing the practice as “violating Ministry policy.” However, the footage revealing the horrors of the country’s cow slaughterhouses proves that such violence is par for the course across the country…

PETA Asia has sent a letter to Cambodia’s minister of agriculture calling for the immediate implementation of basic animal-welfare laws throughout the country, but there are easy ways for you to help these animals, too… Buying leather directly contributes to factory farms and slaughterhouses because skin is the most economically important co-product of the meat industry. Leather production is also extremely toxic to our environment—it shares responsibility for all the environmental destruction caused by the toxins used in tanning… No matter which country it was produced in, every hamburger or pair of leather shoes represents an animal who was sentenced to a terrifying trip to the slaughterhouse… By eating and wearing vegan, you can help spare cows, pigs, and other sensitive animals a miserable life and a terrifying, gruesome death’.
