Dozens of animal activists belonging to the French collective 269 Libération Animale have invested the slaughterhouse of Tielt (East Flanders) in the morning Thursday. They managed to free a pig and then chained themselves inside the establishment.
The French collective 269 Libération Animale announced the action earlier in a statement. Videos that circulate on social networks show activists who release a pig from the slaughterhouse, before moving on to the establishment.
" We are carrying out these actions against the maltreating meat industry animals ", explains one of the members of the collective, Romain Perdrizet. " At around 4:00 this morning, we got into the slaughterhouse with around seventy people. We managed to free a pig. " At the time of the incident, company employees on the scene tried to stop them.
The activists then took the lead they call it "death row", the corridor between the animals' stalls and the place where they are slaughtered. Police arrived at the scene at 5:30 am to call out activists
" This is the third time we have carried out such actions ", explains Romain Perdrizet. " Earlier this year, we managed to release four animals from the Anderlecht slaughterhouse ," he said. All released animals are collected in the animal shelter of 269 Animal Liberation.
On its website, the collective 269 Animal Liberation is a collective that fights for animal liberation through an offensive activism based on the use of direct action and civil disobedience.
