Shocking footage of conditions at a Kenyan donkey slaughterhouse, captured on video by staff from Donkey Sanctuary Kenya and the Kenya Society for the Protection of Animals (KSPCA), has resulted in its closure by the Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries.
The footage, described by animal welfare experts as ‘sickening’, shows dead or dying donkeys lying in filth and being eaten alive by maggots, as well as dead, skinned donkeys left alongside other donkeys waiting for slaughter.
