Jerusalem - The Environmental Protection Ministry, in conjunction with Beit She’an Police, opened a criminal investigation on Friday into alleged animal abuse occurring at a city slaughterhouse owned by Tnuva, the ministry said on Saturday evening.
The investigation follows Thursday night’s Television Broadcast by Reshet’s Kolbotek consumer protection program of an exposé on the giant food manufacturer’s Adom-Adom meat subsidiary.
The ministry credited Kolbotek for uncovering “grave findings,” which included video evidence of workers abusing calves with an electric shocker, as well as beating them, standing on them and dragging them by their legs using a forklift.
“There is no reason that animals should experience such horrible abuse over the course of their lives,” said Environmental Protection Minister Gilad Erdan.
